fications frequently is holding up
the general back payoff for 1900

be made but that IL will be a

Semi
To Hospital

Mrs. Eleanor Smith, 80, who
confessed the KIDNAPPING of 4
month-old Bobby King last Sept.
30, today was committed to the
State Hospital al Ionia for an in
definite period.
Recorders Judge Joseph A.
ellis acted after sanity COM
mission recommended the woman
be treated for mental disorder.
Following the com m s $ o ms
recommendations. Judge ellis de-
creed that Mrs Smith be confined
for treatment until she is pro-
nounced completely cured and
ready 10 reioin society"
Mrs. Smith wept silently as the
sentence was read and then left
the court room on the arm of her
husband, Eugene, a Hastings street
druggist.
Smith said he was satisfied with
the sentence and hoped the hospi-
talization would be successful.
The sanity commission was
composed of DR.. Lowell S. Selling.
DR.. Harold Johnson and DR.. II.
z. Simms. They reported to the
court they had examined Mrs.
Smith separately and jointly and
I that their unanimous opinion was
that she suffered "a mental dis
ease characterized by serious
anxiety when locked in her cell,
marked periods of depression,
complete unreliablity and am
nesia concerning the offense."
NOT COMPETENT
The commission also declared
I il was their belief she would not
be competent to assist her attor-
ney in a defense and that hos
pitalization was necessary.
Mrs. Smith was the central
figure in one of the most bizarre
and fiction-like police hunts in
Detroit's history. For 10 days
she kept the King baby in a crib
in her home at 634S Stanford, his
face darkened with cosmetics,
while police and the public
combed the city and nearby states
without avail.
A tip from private citizen,
spurred by a $1,000 reward
offered by The Detroit Times,
finally broke the case and the boy
was returned unharmed to his
parents, at their home at 11431'

 AUTO TAX STAMPS
All Motor Vehicles Must Display Federal Stamp;
 S25 Fine Penalty

Waterbury motorists were eau. toned today by Frank W. Kramer Collector of Internal Revenue fol the district of Connecticut that all motor vehicles in operation on July are required to display a motor vehicle use tax stamp for the new fiscal year beginning on that day.
 In the State of Connecticut the stamp should be displayed on the lower right hand corner of the windshield after proper notation of the information required on the back Of the stamp has been entered.

 Possession of the stamp does not releive the motorists from liability of fines up to $250O in the event that the stamp is not properly at- tached to the vehicle.
