Description

June rides her father's back as he sits on the stoop, both smiling.

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.
