Photograph appears with the article, "Robles Girl Visits Here," Los Angeles Times, 26 May 1934: A1. June Robles (2nd from right) sits with three other girls on a step in front of a door. An unidentified blonde woman kneels behind them, and another young child is visible inside the building. Brian Foy claims a contract for three months' was signed for the child. The family traveled by train to Glendale to visit Mrs. Robles' relatives. Robles denies that he agreed to sign June. Fernando also claims that June is doing very well since her rescue from the shallow pit she had been imprisoned in in the desert, having gained eight pounds. All questions June was asked concerning the kidnapping she replied with "I don't know." Text from negative sleeve: Robles, June kidnap case 1934 (belong to env. in Box 28-BATCH #7) Text from newspaper caption: June Robles Frolicking With Father June Robles, Arizona kidnap victim, proved, when she arrived in Glendale yesterday to visit her grandmother and other relatives, that despite her harrowing desert experience she still enjoys riding piggy-back on the shoulders of her father, Ferdinand Robles.
