les HAVE BEEN SEARCHING
FOR HIM SINCE SEPTEMBER IL.
Emmanuel Kaufman, for whom the
police of Wilmington have been
searching for some time, and who dis
appeared from the Hotel Marlborough,
New York, on September II, has been
found.
Younk kaufman, who is 10 years Of
age. is the son OF David kaufman, a
wealthy merchant OF Atlanta, Ga. lie
went to New York with his brother
and father the first OF this month. He
had suffered from % severe fail from a
horse a year before, and since the acsi-
dent had had trouble in his head on a
number of occasions. So 10 was decided
to take him along for treatment by a
specialist when his brother and father
went to New York on their regular
Fall trip.
The three put up at the Marlbor-
oHgh and Emanuel apparently enjoyed
the best of health during his stay On
Friday evening, September 10, he dined
with friend and came to the hotel
late, when he sat with his father talk
ing for long time The following
morning Emanuel went out on an or
rand, after which he was to so and
visit relatives in the city.
He did not return to the hotel ind
all trace of him was lost.
Mr.. kaufman at once had circulars
printed upon which was a description
OF the missing boy, together with his
photograph. One OF these was sent TO
the police department OF all the lead
ing cities in the country including VIII
mington. Upon receipt OF lhe circular
Chief Dolan instructed his officers TO
be on the lookut for the young man
but after a dlligent search they failed
to locate him.
Mr.. Kaufman, however, received a
/ telegram from Chicago yesterday
morning that Emanuel had been To-
Gated there.
His brother Frederick went to the
Windy City on the clew furnished by 2
letter supposed to have been written by
Earl Carew, but which was really in
the handwriting of young Kaufman.
The letter which Mr. Kaufman re-
ceived a few days ago and which was
signed Earl Carew gave a description
of the missing kaufman boy. Mr.
Kaufman at ence guessed that It wa!
the missing boy himself who IA,
wrote the letter and signed il with {
false name while suffering from tempo
rary alteration of mind.
This theory was proven correct by
the telegram from Friedrich Kaufman
who went to Chicago in response to n,
mysterious letter.
In the letter signed Earl Carew" .
rambling story was told about th'
writer coming to his senses after hi
! arrival at Niagara Falls from New
York withQAt the slightest remem
brance as % who he was. He founC
that he was registered at a hotel at tn
Falls as Earl Carew," and as sucl
wrote 10 his relatives in New York
asking for information concerning
himself. The writer said that, as h
|, had a ticket in his pocket for Chicago
i be went there and put up at at Mccoy
Hotel. When he read the newspaper
. about Kaufmans disappearance, h
felt sure that he was Kaufman. The
he minuteiy described himself and ask
ed II he was not the missing man. Tn
, description fitted exactly.
It has been learned that Emanue
came nowhere near Wilmington as wa
