The Herald special from Philadel-
phia gives in full anonymous letters
addressed to Mr.. Ross, by the abduct-
ors of his son Charley. The letters
demand money before restoring the
child, and say that putting detectives
on the track will only defeat Ross's
own plans. If any approach was made
to the place where they had hidden
the child, it would be the signal for
his instant assassination. Money alone
could bring him out alive. In letter
dated July 9Th, the abductors demand
$50, 900 for the child's release.
