THE WRONG BABY
ALLEGED SUBSTITUTION NEW YORK, May 18. A Bronx, New York, couple who have accused the municipal hospital of substituting a boy for their eight-day-old baby girl, who they say is still missing after two months, are claiming 200,000 dollars damages from the city. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Sosa, who are Puerto Ricans, say a physician signed the birth certificate for a girl, who was nursed for eight days by Mrs. Sosa. Then a nurse brought a boy of different colouring and insisted on leaving it in spite of Mrs. Sosa’s cries of “That is not my baby.” The husband, given the same boy when he came to take his wife home, complained to the authorities, who insisted that the boy was his. The couple finally left the hospital with the boy.
