taking more than was necessary for inn

about thirty-five years old and bears traces
of beauty and refinement said she had
placed her child with a family where she
VIII be we'll taken care of, and that no
ing place. She said that her father, whose
name she refused to give had been a gem
eral in the Union army and fell at Gettys-

THE SEARCH FOR CHARLIE ROSS.
A RascaIIy New York Police Captain
Prevented Success.

FfeNenIeu SUCCESS.
Philadelphia Inquirer
So many years have passed since the
child Charlie Ross was stolen from mis-
home in Germantown that the crime is lost
to the memory of many, but that has not
deferred some people from still making the
attempt to palm off a bogus youth upon the
afflicted family as the lost son. The latest
effort of this kind was made by a
woman who represented herself as the wild
ow of one of the two. burglars who were
killed at Bay Ridge, l.. l., while trying to
rob the house of judge of the courts.
The woman brought with her a young
man who, a relative of the boy says, was
fat-headed and beetle-browed, and could in
no way have borne resemblance to what
little Charlie would have been at manhood.
She had the story of the disappearance

Many believe the boy to be dead There

father, who has Travelled all over the coun-

alleged child or youth produced. The secret
of his fate probably died with the. Bay
mediately after being shot, while the other
lived only long enough to say that his COM
panlOn had known where the child was,
that the lad was still alive, but that he
himself knew nothing of his location.
In narrating some of the facts the rela-
tives of the Ross family also shed more
light upon the efforts to find the boy, and
made the important statement that once
when success seemed assured they were
frustrated by one of the police captains of
New York. a man who charged before
the LeXow committee with having acquired
wealth by the most corrupt means. 1t was
there he says the kidnapers had arranged
to deliver their prisoner upon the payment
of the $4,000. They had exacted the con-
dtion that Mr.. Ross and those helping
him should leave New York upon board of
a special train. locomotive and car,
bound for Albany.
At point along the road a colored
lantern light was to be waved and the
money, at this signal was to be dropped
by the side of the track. Further up the
line there was to be another light shown
and there the boy was to be delivered to
them. According to the relatives story,
the rescuing party took along with them
an expert rifieman, with the object of
manning the kidnaper, whoever he might
be, and then effecting his capture They
made the trip as directed, but nothing came
of it. No lights were shown and no other
clew obtained. The police captain in
question, the relative says, give the tip to
the thieves that the sharpshooter would
be on board the car. Walter Ross, the SON
who was dropped by the country side was
married about two months ago.
