On This Date in Minnesota History: November 13

November 13, 1921 – A baby approximately two weeks’ old was left with an attendant at the nursery of the Hennepin Theater at noon today by a shabbily-dressed woman who went into the theater.

By 10 p.m., she had not returned to pick up the child. Two bottles of milk were given to the attendant when the woman “checked” the baby.

Police began a search for the woman. The baby, who was healthy and seemed contented, was taken to General Hospital.
