SEARCHING FOR HER BOY
Mysterious Absence of Philip
Friedrichs of New
Orleans.
Pinkerton Detectives All Over the
United States Trying to
Locate Him.

The Pinkerton detectives in this City
and in other large cities are making stren-
uous efforts to find Phillip Friedrichs,
who disappeared from his home in New
Orleans in July. 1896.
Tie boy is the son of DR.. z. J. Fried
| richs, prominent resident of the Crescent
City. He ran away from home with two
companions, but month later one OF
them, Dominick Verges, returned home.
He reported that by riding bra ke beams
and smuggling themselv away in box
cars the trio reached ST. Louis, where on
| July 13 Verges was prostrated with the
heat and was taken to a hospital. He lost
all trace of his two companions, ahd as
soon as he left the hospital he decided to
! return home
| Marshall CurrIer. Friedrichs' COM
| panion, wrote Mrs. Friedrichs' from Tren-
! ton. n. j., on August :hat he had lost
! sight OF her son in Syracuse q fewidays
before in the railroad Yards. Currier was
again heard from on Decem ber 3, when ne
| addressed letter to Mrs. Friedr,chs from
| Folkyille, Ala, to the same effect and
she sent message 10 him to return to
New Orleans. few days later Currier
was struck by train at Blount Springs
and had his skull fractured.
Disheartened over their repeated failures
to find any trace of their missing son, DR..
and Mrs. Friedrichs appealed to Chief
Caster of the New Orleans police, who has
asked the Pinkertons to help him in the
search. Through various influential
friends the boys parents have caused the
| presidents of various railroad and steam
ship lines and other big corporations
throughout the world to become inter
ested in the search, TO the extent, at least,
OF making inquiries through the differ ent
systems concerning persons answering the
description OF young Friedrichs.
The boy is 16 years of age, has blue-pray
! eyes, dark hair and skin, about feet
inches tall, has a round face and good
teeth. He is fluent talker, having made
good use of his educational advantages.
He was pupil of the intermediate class
of the Boys High School, New Orleans,
parents having destined him for the
medical profession.
