Philadelphia Press.
The death of Christian K. Ross has re-
viyed for a time a current of interest in
the fate Of his son who was abducted from
Germantown twenty-three years ago, when
but four years old While many people be-
lieve that Charley Ross was murdered by
Mosher and Douglass, the alleged abduc-
tors there are others who take the con-
trary view and contend that the boy is still
alive now, however, a grown man. Among
those who were discussing the case last
night in the corridor of one of the principal
hotels was a well-known Pinkerton man,
who said:
when Mosher and Douglass were shot
at Bay Ridge Douglass confessed toehavng
taken part in the abduction, or least.
to a full knowledge of it, and q united
that the boy was alive at that SINE. 1t
stands TO reason, if the abductors had not
then already murdered the child, that they
couldn't have done so afterward. Ny be-
lief is that the boy was taken to some place
of hiding where the people around him
could not or would not, speak English, and
that he gradually lost his identity. He
was very young at the time, and ii Is pos
sible that as he grew up all memory of
home and friends and even of his name,
became entirely obscured."
Mr.. Ross was uncertain of the fate of his
son to the last. No man, perhaps has ever
suffered a longer period of ACCOUNTING sus-
pense, lasting as II did for nearly twenty
three years. To have known positively that
the boy was dead, sad as the knowledge
would have BEEN would have brought re-
lief. Hope was. indeed long deferred in the
heart of Christian K. Ross.
