Child Found in Areaway Called Benton Gladstone.


Benton Gladstone was the name nurses at Mercy hospital yesterday applied to the hour-hold baby found Sunday night in an areaway between 903 and 905 Benton boulevard. Thus the child becomes a northeast institution, as Benton and Gladstone boulevards intersect in that part of the city, and not far from where "Benton" was discovered.

Evidence that the child was handled roughly before deposited naked in the areaway was found at the hospital. There were bruises about the head and arms. In addition to this one toe was frost bitten, but Benton" was doing well yesterday and gaining strength. The police of No. 7 station investigated the case yesterday, but no trace of the parents was discovered.
