The Ross boy does not yet turn up, but |
the detectives think they will have their |
hands on him before many days-indeed, |
some say by Sunday. On the other hand,
there are not few who think he may have
been put out Of the way, and there Is, of
course, the chance that he may have fallen
sick and died. One Of the most singular
features of the case is the fact that an uncle
of the missing child, who went out to Ches-
ter, Ill.,, TO see the boy that was suspected
to be Charlie, found the resemblance so
striking, and the boys replies TO his ques-
lions so correct that he thought at first he
had found the wanderer, but after care
full investigation he was forced to conclude
it was not he, although" he telegraphcd
home, 'thc resemblance is most striking"
Police Superintendent Walliug of New
York city, returned Thursday right to
his office from II tweniy-four hours search
Tor the missing Charlie Ross, with no
news of the stolen child, and such has been
the result thus far Of all the efforts put
| forth for his recovery. Tho search since
the death of the burglar abiuclors has been
as thorough as any search can he that is
conducted without Il settled plan based
upon information, but the search has been
barren of result. Captain licdden. Of The
Philadelphia police. and the New York de-
tictivcs, cling to the hope that as there is
no motive for the further concealmcnt of
the child he will soon bc returned. They
profess to be confident that he is still alive
but among other detectives the opinion is
gaining ground that the child is dead. They
argue that it is little IN Keeping with such n
person to keep such evidence of crime as n
stolen boy, when he knew that the police
were on his track, and they deem it much
more probable that when the pursuit be-
came hot Mnsher took the lad into tic
cabin of his sloop and gave him short shrif,
} and quick burial in the waters of the har.
