CHARLEY ROSS. uOOu VI July l.,
1874. Through the efforts of Allan e.
Pinkerton, a complete description of
the kidnapers was obtained, but no
definite clew to their whereabouts or
that of the child could be had. In
spired by a reward of $4,000, profess
sional and amateur detectives worked
on the case for years, but the mystery
was never satisfactorily solved. Some
years ago it was asserted that there
was strong evidence to show that a
"crook" named Mosher was RESPONSE
BILE for the abduction, but he died be-
fore the matter could be investigated.
The police theory is that the boy was
stolen in hope of getting a ransom for
his release, as his parents were well-to-
do people. All their means were ex-
hausted in their long search for their
child, and the father was finally COM
PEELED to accept a mental position in or
der to support his family. Mrs. Ross
broke down under the strain, and died.
A few years later her husband went in
sane. The picture here given was taken
from a confidential circular sent out by
Allan Pinkerton on Aug. %, 1874, and
is probably the only good likeness in
existence of Charley Ross as he then
ppeared.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
