ASKS S200,000 FOR HISLOST INEANT Detroit Man Sues Hospital Alter Five Yoars Detroit, Sept. 18 P—A story of | @ tragedy of life, the separation of & father and his son five years ago through the alleged “mixing” of in- fants in a hospital here, was before & circuit court jury today in the trial of the $200,000 damage suit of Wil- Uam G, Greatrex, Detroit, against the Evangelical Deaconess hospital. ‘The child never was found though a nation wide scarch whs made and since then the father has devoted almost all of his time at- tempting to locate the boy.
