strayed away from his home. No. 173 Baldwin
ave-. Jersey City. about 4 o'clock Monday after
noon. The relatives supposed ne was In the
house Of a neighbor and went in quest OF him
after the severe storm. Failing to find any trace
Of the child they were alarmed and informed the
police.
The affrighted relatives passed q sleepIess
night and made frequent visits to the police
station, hoping to find that the missing child
had been recovered. Policeman Van Vechten
started early yesterday morning in quest OF the
child and searched a picnic park near the childs
home. The policeman recollected the quarry pit
at Newkirk-st and Baldwin-ave.. from which
Irene Buckridge a little girl had been rescued
from drowning two months ago by Policeman
Johnson. The water had settled and was clear
and at the bottom OF the pit Van vechten found
the body of the missing child. He recovered the
body and carried it to the home Of the grief
stricken parents.
The pit is in a lot In which the children play.
They frequently wade in the water for short
distance, but keep away from the centre. where
the water is four or five feet deep. The pool Is
about twenty feet in diameter
II is supposed that the child wandered TO the
lot while it deserted and initiating the older
children waded in the water and fell in the deep
hole in the centre. Another theory Is that ne
was overtaken by the storm while returning
home and fell from the street into the pool. but
wire fence protects the full-grown pedestrians
from falling into the pit from the street.
