police today continued their search
for kidnapped four-month-old Rob
ert James King who was taken
from his crib Saturday night by a
nursemaid hired by the baby's par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence King a
week ago.
Police said they were seeking
two women whose recent actions
indicated one Of them might be
the mysterious nursemaid known
as Helen Rosman.
Deputy Chief of Detectives Jack
Harvil said the two resigned from
war jobs with the explanation that
they were going to take jobs caring
for children and return to school.
Harvil said both bear a resemb
lance to descriptions OF the Ros-
man girl and both have vanished.
Meanwhile, the baby's mother
was under the care of a physician.
She collapsed yesterday afternoon
as she pored through a stock Of
school year books in a fruitless

Police checked the scores OF
clues and tips from various points.
The most promising Of these, a
call from Deputy Sheriff Adolph

day. The deputy sheriff said two
men and a girl carrying a baby
had stopped Sunday afternoon at
his restaurant in Unionville, near
Bay City. The girl answered the
description of the nursemaid, but
it later developed that the baby in
question held a bottle OF milk to
his lips unaided which would have
been impossible for child OF four
