David will leave for Buffalo with Sergt. Coolidge Thursday, nightia was abandoned here three, weeks ago and was placed Mary's Hospital while his mother, Mrs. Elsie Diperno, 28, of Buffalo, was sought. When found she declared that she did not want the baby. Although affidavits to that effect were forwarded from Buffalo, a tedious legal procedure would have been necessary before the child could be adopted in Wayne County, After the baby arrives at Buffalo, petitions for his adoption may be filed by Detroiters who want him and the process will be greatly simplified.

Sergt. Coolidge said. Proof of ability and character to take care of the child will be demanded as usual, but whether the applicant for adoption lives in Detroit or elsewhere will make no difference. So maybe David will be coming back. Underhill Buried JOPLIN, Jan, 10-(A.
