Sgt.

Ray Graham said the robbery- occurred about 1:10 p.m. Wednesday at a home on St. Clair Road, a half-mile north of Price Road in Victor Township. He said the names and address of the victims were being withheld. The victims told sheriffs deputies that a white man wearing a ski mask entered the house, de manded money and drugs and showed a handgun.

After receiving $93 and no drugs, he fled, firing three shots into the ground as he did. The victims also reported they heard a motorcycle start up outside. "He apparently got the wrong house, since the persons there didn't do drugs," Graham said.

First Evangelical Lutheran Church and was employed for 20 years Boff bore a 7-pound, 3-ounce girl conceived by the in vitro method.

She was implanted Aug. 1, 1985, with an egg fertilized in a laboratory. The child was delivered 11 days earlier than doctors had esti-, mated. 1 The birth is believed to be the first in the nation involving a test tube fertilized embryo being carried by a surrogate mother. Last month, ruling on an uncontested motion, a Wayne County Circuit Court judge granted custody of the child to the East Coast couple.

At a meeting with reporters, Boff was joined by her 27-year-old husband, Gerald, and their 3-year-old son, David. Shannon Boil received $10,000 for carrying the baby, but she said the "money really wasn't a big deal. I was excited because this had never been done before." She said the latest pregnancy was different than her earlier ones. "I think this time I felt a lot closer to the baby because I knew It was not ours," she said. She said that after the birth, she held the child and fed her.

After hospital- employees took the baby to the hospital's nursery, "the parents went there and all the attention went to (hem, as it should have." Gerald Boff said that during the pregnancy, "I would talk to the child and draw faces on i her (Shannon's) stomach. I was very happy this is the best pregnancy she's had. i -1 "This was. exactly the experience we had hoped for," he said. "We were very fortunate to find the couple we did." v.

Dearborn attorney -Noel P. Keane arranged the deal. He said total, costs to the biological mother and father amounted to about $40,000. He said the biological mother lost her uterus after a spontaneous abortion during a pregnancy in 1982. which also involved in vitro fertilization.

Keane said the woman has blocked fallopian tubes which carry the egg to the uterus. In the past doctors performing in vitro fertilizations had been reluctant to implant an embryo, in a surrogate because of possible cus- tody battles. HOWE, JOHN L.
