wife of local pharmacist, as
the kidnaper of the four-month-
old baby son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence F. King, white, of this
city on September 80, last week.
The a rrest of the 32year-old
woman climaxed a nationwide

attractive abductor is suffering
from insanity. She told them
that she did not want to live
without the baby and express
ed hope it would be returned
to her as soon as the real kid
napers were apprehended.
