OLD MAN ROSS CLUES.
Phases Of Life Developed Ia the Search
for the Kidnapped Boy.

Philadelphia Record
Although four years and a half have
passed since the kidnapping of Charlie
Ross, the father AYERS he has never
given up the search. At the present
time he says he is engaged in looking
up six different clues. One of them
is in Australia, and he is daily expect
ing a letter detailing the history of the
discovery of the boy. There are two
more in England, and a fourth in the
mountain fastness of Wales. That
the interest Of the public in the case
is not abated is manifested in the nU-
merous letters which Nj. Ross contin-
ues to receive. On an average be gets
a letter every day from some person
who is certain he has seen a child liY-
ing under suspicious circumstances OF
resembling the portraits Of Charlie.
In the course of his ~journeying Mr..
Ross says that he has found that a ma
jority of these children are the off
spring of people who have separated
through domestic troubles and have
been placed in some out-of-the-way
place by either mother or father il
revenge. Others are illegitimate chill
dren that have been sent away to hid,
the disgrace of their mother. The bo,
found in Bradford county last week
supposed to have been Charlie, wa
taken from his mother in Vermont.
Mr.. Ross has almost arrived At tn
conclusion that his boy is not secrete,
in the country. He thinks, if he j
alive, it is most likely that he is il
New York, in some crowded tenemen
house, where the people are used {
seeing children run around withou
parents. He said he knew Of oneca
where an Italian had a child living o
the fifth floor of a tenement that non
of the other inmates had ever seer
He has notgiven up all hope and say
that every case presented to him, hay
ing the least sign of probability, wi
be carefully investigated.
