(Ree. 7.30 p.m.) NEW YORK January 20 A Brooklyn grand jury today indicted Mrs Jean lavarone, aged 43. on kidnapping charges in the abduction of the newly born baby, Lisa Rose Chionchio. from a hospital on January 2. Judge Nathan Sobel on a motion of the defence counsel, immediately ordered that she be committed to hospital for examination.

The baby, only two hours and a half old when stolen from a nursery in St. Peter's Hospital, Brooklyn, was found nine days later in Mrs lavarone’s flat and is now back in her parents’ home. Judge Sobel said: "If I credit the information appearing in the press, this is a stupid crime, committed from the most commonplace of motives, love of a woman for a man. lam curious to find out what kind of woman and, if possible, what kind of man.”

•The prosecution has contended that Mrs lavarone stole the child in an effort to convince a man friend that it was hers and that he was the father, in the hope that he would marry her. She has seven children of her own.
