The police are in despair over the
Ross child-stealing case. Not trace

the two men who carried him away.
or Of the yacht-bodied buggy in
which they are said to have decamp.
ed. The private detectives, who are
supposed to have more genius for
their business than the police of the
city force, have been no more fortu.
nate. One step has been gained,
however, which may in the end lead
to q solution Of the mystery. A doubt
as TO the kidnapping of the child for
ransome has at last got possession Of
the mind of every one who has stud
led the case. Now, the dominant
idea is that people, press and police
have been on false scent all the
time. A thorough investigation of
the antecedents, surroundings, and
business and social connections Of the
Ross family is now demanded by
public sentiment, and the publication
Of fsc-similes Of the letters received
by Mr.. Ross requiring twenty thou
sand dollars ransome is insisted on rs
essential to further progress toward
clearing the mystery. New theories
to explain the strange affair began to
be discussed by the city papers,
which until lately refused to enter
tain any other notion than that the
missing child had been abducted by
bold thieves to extort money from the
distressed parents. One paper, the
German Democrat, goes 80 far IS to
hint that the boy has been murdered
and insists that the house and
grounds Of the father should be
ses2shed. Other journals hint At fam
lily troubles as = probable clue, and
begin to touch upon suspicious cir
cumstances, connected with the affair,
which have heretofore been mooted
only in private conversation. The
popular demand for publication of
letters promises soon to be so imper-
alive that Mr.. Ross will be obliged
to comply with it, or the police to
force him TO. His only excuse for
keeping them secret is that some of
them contain abuse of his wife. This
very fact, however, is an additional
argument in favor Of laying them be- +.
fore the public, for it promises to .
furnish clew that will lead to the a
detection Of the writer. If the letters s.
actually contain reflections Oh Mrs. Il
Ross, the case assumes a new aspect Il
at once for it is evident that such ex-
pressions would not be written by .,
kidnappers who sought money only h
as the result Of their crime. Mr..
Ross has determinedly refused to let =
the correspondence be printed. Yes. y
terday he was offered one thousand
dollars for it by the representative of G.
! newspaper, and replied that no Il
mount of money would induce him
