from her when I paid her $203,00C
in a divorce settlement at Reno in
1927,” claims Elsman.
“It’s untrue,” retorts Mrs. Elsman.
“I never sold my baby to him. I’ll
follow him to the ends of the earth.
Elsman's millions can’t keep me
from my little son.
“I’m just an old-fashioned girl.
So old-fashioned that I will fight
for my baby; so old-fashioned that
I loved my husband.
“I didn’t know another woman,
a nursemaid in my own home, was
stealing away my husband's love. I
was too innocent to realize what
was going on.”
Three weeks after the divorce.
j Elsman married Florence Diehl, the
woman who acted as nursemaid to
I his little boy.
The mother, who came to San
: Francisco recently, said that Els
man had offered her $500,000 at one
time if she would permit him to
■ have complete custody of the child.
Elsman disappeared from his Los
Gatos home with the youngster.
: Mrs. Elsman is seeking to regain
; custody of the child through San
Jose courts.
