port. Fifty Detroit policemen
were assigned exclusively 10 the
case.
STATEWIDE ALARM
Inspector Michael LARGO sounded
the statewide alarm when Sgt
Herbert Layher of the Conner
precinct reported that the baby's
clothing was missing.
That the child actually was kid
mapped. police believe, is proved
by the fact that some of his
clothing was taken as we'll as
three rubber sheets and the writ
ten formula for the baby's feed
ing
Further. the police pointed out,
the maid left without collecting
her weeks pay.
Although police were already
watching all railroad and bus
stations. they redoubled their
vigilance al the Union Depot
after Miss Betty Atkinson. 18, of
| 22l8 Parker. an information girl
al the station, told police that a
girl answering the description of
Helen BOSNIAN and carrying a
baby approached her at $50 a m.
yesterday TO inquire about the
next train 10 Pittsburgh.
The girl was accompanied by
two men. one tall and one short,
Miss Atkinson said.
WIRE PITTSBURGH
Police wired a description of
the Rosman girl 10 Pittsburgh
police.
Robert A. Guerin Detroit FBI
head. said today that although
his office has not officially entered
the case il is watching for any
indication that the alleged kid
naper has crossed state line or
used the mails 10 communicate
with the parents, thereby be-
coming subject 10 the provisions
OF the 1882 federal kidnapping law.
Helen RoSman was girl Of
whom the Kings knew little. She
answered their ad in paper ask
ing for a girl TO care for the house
and the baby after school.
The girl appeared intelligent
and neat and told them she was
a senior at Northern High School
| and that she intended entering the
University of Michigan soon to
study child care.
Miss BOSNIAN carried letter OF
recommendation from doctor for
whim she purportedly had worked.
She said she left the doctors Serv-
ice when he was called TO the
army.
| Mrs. King told police she was
impressed by the letter but was
! unable now TO recall the name OF
) the person by whom il was signed.
WORKED FOR DOCTOR
/ Police found that the address
she gave on F.. Arizona was fic-
titiouS. A houSe-to-houSe check Of
the street showed no one who
knew a girl of that name.
Northern Highs principal, J. V.
TENTS. checked the records and
said no Helen Rosman ever had
attended the school.
A search Of registration records
/ in all Detroit public high schools
was fruitless also.
The Kings 17-year-old son,
Emory, a DENLY High student,
was attending a party Saturday
night.
Police discounted the theory the
KIDNAPPING was designed for ran
/ som. since King, an assistant sales
manager for a real estate COM
pany. is man of modest means.
/ Their home is not pretentious and
is taStefully but not eXtravagantly
furnished.
They are equally convinced that
the aim was not 10 harm the
child.
ACCEPTED SMALL PAY
The girl told me that
babies were her main interest
IN IIfe," Mrs. King said. II told
her that we could not afford to
pay more than Sill = week, and
was somewhat surprised at
the eagerness with which she
accepted the place, because
maids are 80 hard 10 get these
days.
"She was wonderful with the
baby aad appeared - have eeafe-
from q good home"
