little encouraged by the reported discovery
made in Aldborough township. Ont. To a re-
porter he said. with sigh. that he had no hope
that the boy found among the Indians is his
son. He had been In communication with per-
sons In that neigh borhood for several months
and the correspondence gave him but little en-
couragement Any expectations he had enter
tained were we'll nigh dspelled by a letter
he had just received from Peter ID. McCallum.
the Canadian farmer who had nrst called his
attention to the matter. This letter was an
answer to one OF his. enclos ing list OF Ques-
tions to be asked the hoy for the purpose OF
calling up any remembrance he might have OF
his early life, but no satisfactory answers were
returned. Now, you see." said the bereaved
think there is money to be made, and they
all grasp for It. Then they, exaggerate
everything that tends to establish an identity.
and ignore everything that initiates against
their theory" Mr.. Ross was asked what course
he meant to pursue respecting the Cana iian
clue. He said he did not yet know He would
take no decisive step for few days He would
not go to Canada unless he got some more
hopeful information. He said the case was ex-
citing great attention In the region where tine
boy lived, and 1t was not impossible he might
be brought to Philadelphia for Identification.
At any rate he (Mr. Ross) would for the present
