...mothers the sex of her baby, but because each had had a hard time at the birth, neither mother saw her child naked until she was ready to take it home. By then a weird Gilbert and Sullivan baby switch had apparently taken place. When Mme. Piesset, whose only daughter had died only three years before, found that the boy baby she had called Guy was in reality a girl, she thought it an act of providence, and pursued the matter no further. Jeanne Derock, on the other hand, was mystified and indignant. Unwillingly taking the boy she had registered...

...Circuit Court, Milwaukee County, the Catholic Cummingses said it with a $500,000 lawsuit against the Lutheran Werners. Werner and daughter Mary Louise, they said, had lured Leland away from his faith and his family; they had enticed him to Milwaukee in Werner's private plane, given him a $75-a-month allowance, promised him a $25,000-a-year job in the family ironworks.
