|ChiIdIess Couple Held
On kidnapping Charge;
City Cares for Baby
By the Assoeio,ed Press

TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. 15.-Too
young to realize that a legal storm
is brewing over him, chubby, blue
eyed Donald Robert Waltman, IA
months of age, was in the city's
care today.
His mother, Mrs. Virginia Walt
man, who has three other children
lives in Neosho, Mo. She has OBJ
tanned a warrant charging Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Humbarger, who lives
near Toledo, with kidnapping.
The Humbargers, childless
couple who "fell in love" with Dom
aid while they were rooming at Mrs
Waltman's home, we're arrested last
night and held for Missouri authori-
ties.
Donald has spent more OF his life
with the Humbargers than with his
mother. Mrs. Humbarger brought
him here last July when her hus-
band, then a soldier, was trans
ferred from Camp Crowder, Mo-.
to Fort Monmouth, N. J. In August
Humbarger was discharged and
joined his wife and the child. He
is now laborer in a grain elevator
here.
Policemen bundled up the baby
and took him off to hospital for
care, but Mrs. Humbarger, %. said
orol1Ci1y "Yo,I never saw better
baby. He hardly ever cries"
Her husband declared this kid
naping charge just doesn't make
sense" and claimed Mrs. Waltman
had consented to their taking care
of the child.
THAT baby is just like our own
now-she can't take him back" he
said.
Conflicting stories came from the
Humbargers and from Prosecuting
Attorney Wayne Standard at Neosho.
