The transfer was made in the new moter ambulanes from the Backus hespital at Norwich, which eams here to get the patient. R Developments in the case and the story that Mrs. Flemming told enly add- ed new elements of mystery instead of explaining why she had left home or where she had been in the time she had dropped out of sight between Thursday and Saturday. Mrs. Fienmming's arrival at the Put- nam hospital was preceded by a phone messafe to the hospital shortly be- fore § o'clock that a woman patieni was The person telephoning was & woman and subsequent develep- ments made it appear that Mre. Flem- ming probably did the telgphening. Soen after her arrival at the hospital, about 8 o'clock, Pollce Chief J. H. Bul. Ser was notified by the hospital suthori- ties. Later he interviewed the woman. Aceording to what the chief reported she told him she had left her home Thursday and had gone to some house, but could not tell where it was. There, she said, according to Chief Bulger, that whe told the family she was to be confined. Cen- tinuing her story, Mrs. Flemming sald that a deetor chloroformed her and her Peby was born. Mrs. Flemming could nef 1411 who the doctor was, aceording te Chief Buiger, nor where the baby is now. Mrs. Flemming explained to the chief that she reached the hospital in a fitney, paying $2.50 to get to Putnam. There she dismissed this jitney and engaged an- other, driven by Eugene Brodeur. to take Mr. Brodeur says that before they started she went to » telephone. Tt is supposed that this se- counts for the telephone message an- nouncing the coming of a patient. Found among Mrs. Flemming's effects when they were Jooked over at the hos pital was a clipping from The Norwieh Bulletin containing the account of her disappearance from hors. There was also an unfinished letter *idressed to Mr. Smith, presumably thy Norwich greeer where_her husband ls employed. stating that sKe is at the Day Kimball howpital in Putnam. The letter was writ'en on a letterhead of the Attawaugan inn, which s at Dan- ieison. Offieials at the inn, however, said that ne sueh person had been there, and Mrs. Flemming explatied, according to Chief Bulger, that she got the paper at the house where she said the baby was - born. Mrs. Flemming reached her fathery heme in Norwich about 2 o'clock Sunday evening and was soon afterwards attend- ed by a physician whom her father h called. Mr. Ladd sa'd Runfay night that his daughter was very tired and they had not thought it well to question her, dut !the doctor assured him that there was nothing dangerous to aeprehend from her conditlol | Mr. Ladd wounld not make a Aefinite. statement about the birth of a child te’ his daughter, but sald it was remark- able she was in as zood condition as she is. considering all she has gone thromeh. Tt Is understond that the authorities ! have taken up the case for further in- vestization and it is intimated that a . | criminal prosecution may be ons of the results when the whole matter has beem sifted out.
