Winston-Salem, June 14—finding of a lusty infant Sunday morning, neatly dressed and in a basket filled with pretty articles, led today to the arrest of Dock Shields, a merchant of the Southside section of the city, on a charge of separation (of) the child from its mother.
A little later the mother was arrested, too, but her name is withheld by the police. According to the police, she made a complete confession of her parental relation to the child. In the meanwhile, the infant, whose name is Woodrow, has been placed in a local hospital.
