WATKINS-BAMBERGER BABES
TRADED AGAIN BY MOTHERS
Watkins Declares Others Took Advantage
of His Wife and Threatens to
Start Action Again.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. August 20.—The Watkins
and Bamberger babies were in new
homes tpday, and three-fourths of the
parents, at least, thought they were the
| right homes.
! The central figures in the famous
baby-switching case were exchanged
last night after Charles Bamberger and
his wife had decided the Watkins®*
were right In contending that the two
families had the wrong babies.
Under the watchful eye of Dr. Arnold
Kegel, city health Commissioner, Mrs.
Bamberger handed over the Infant boy
she has cared for for the last six weeks
and Mrs. William Watkins in turn gave
her the baby she had christened a Wat
kins.
They undressed the babies, changed
clothing and exchanged formulas for
baby food. Both women kissed both
babies, wept a little, the whole party
shook hands all around and the baby
problem appeared solved.
But Watkins, returning from a base
ball game to find a new baby in his
house, threatened to tangle it all up
again. "They took advantage of my
wife,” he said. "There wouldn’t have
been any trade if I had been home.
How ho we know which is which.” He
said he might sue the Bambergers. that
the question of parentage is still before
the courts.
The baby boys were born June 30,
and the trouble started 10 days later
when, on preparing to fctke the babies
home, the parents discovered the name
"Watkins” on the baby given the Bam
bers and “Bamberger” on the baby given
the Watkinses.
There followed blood tests, finger
print tests, bone testa and court ac
tions. A committee of experts, headed
by Dr. Kegel, decided the babies were
in the wrong families, but the Bam
bergers Insisted they had their own
child. Dr. Kegel said the original mix
up happened in mlsmarking the cloth
ing of the babies.
The Bambergers, after reviewing the
findings of the medical board of ex
perts. finally decided yesterday to give
up the baby the Watkinses claimed as
their own.
Mrs. Watkins appeared elated when
the Bambergers, their attorney and
Dr. Kegel appeared last night. “Oh,
I’ve always wanted that baby,” she said.
"It’s mine. But how will we do it?”
Mrs. Bamberger replied by starting
to undress the Infant she held In her
lap. Mrs. Watkins followed suit, and
it was not long before the women held
their new babies.
“This one weighs more than the other
one; I’ll have to learn all over again
how to hold him," joked Mrs. Bam-
