“There Was No Room

For Them in the Inn’

—Luke, 2:7

By United Press

HOUSTON, Tex., July 16—~Doctors fought today to save the life of a newborn, premature baby found abandoned in a weed-choked vacant lot, blue from cold and covered with a swarm of ants. “Believe me, it’s a miracle that little baby is still with us,” said a policeman who rushed the infant to a hospital. The night supervisor at Jefferson Davis CityCounty. Hospital, who asked not to be identified, said early foday the little boy was “perking up wonderfully with a little tender love and care.” Doctors gave the child, who weighed four pounds, eight and one-half ounces, a “fair” chance to survive. They estimated he was from two weeks to one month premature, but said the baby was perfectly formed. Police said that someone apparently tried to dispose of the baby by abandoning it in the lot. Eugene Yargo, 18, heard a whimpering noise yesterday as he walked by a vacant lot some B50 feet from the nearest house and about 40 feet from a railroad track. The youth said he investigated, thinking a kitten was lost in the brush. He found, instead, the infant. The child was covered with dry leaves and brush which stuck to his naked body. Ants still swarmed over the baby's skin when Police Investigator H. R. Coats arrived. : Officer Coats brushed off the ants and

CHICAGO, July 16—A quarreling husband |

and wife both insisted today that neither wanted their tiny, newborn baby,

Mrs. Frank Stegert rested in her hospital bed

and stuck by her statement that the two-day-old |

boy should be placed in his father's custody. “

Her husband’s lawyér said that Mr. Stegert had not changed his mind and was still deter-

‘mined to give up the child.

Superior Court Judge George M. Fisher was baffled. He said he never had before sat in judgment of such a case.

He postponed the case till next Tuesday in the hope that the father would change his mind and accept the baby. :

Last month, Mrs. Stegert filed a suit for sep- |

arate maintenance in Judge Fisher's court,

She said she dig, not want her baby because |

she had no place tO keep him. She asked that the child be placed in Mr, Stegert’s custody.

“What's more I want him to have the baby |

so he can be reminded of me,” she said. At the same time, she said she wanted nothing that would remind her of her husband; not even his child. : Mr. Stegert, a restaurant owner, replied that he didn’t want the infant either. Judge Fisher said that “literally thousands
