Little Geraldine Heffron, the three
year-old tot who SO mysteriously dis
appeared Thursday afternoon from her
home in Olyphant, was found yesterday
morning in the snow two miles from her
home and the circumstances connected
with her finding are almost as remark
able as those connected with her dis
appearance.
John Fitzgerald was walking along
the Ridge turnpike just this side Of
Prceburg yesterday morning about
$50 O'Clock, on his way to work, when
he heard the cry of u child in the snow.
The snow was falling and he was un-
able to see clearly but he followed the
cries and came upon little Geraldine,
who was standing almost up to her
knees in drift.
The little girl was clad only in the
blue gingham dress she had worn when
she ran out of the house and was bare
headed. She was crying piteously and
was digging her chubby little fists into
her tear-stained eyes. Fitzgerald picked
her up and having heard of the missing
girl he asked her what her name was.
wanted 0eT MaulLld.
Geraldine Heffron,"she said, ,"naugh-
ty man take baby out of crib and carry
out in snow. Baby wants mamma
Fitzgerald tucked the little tot under
his overcoat and carried her back to
her home in Olyphant, which was in
stantly changed from Il house of mourn
ing into u place of joyful gladness.
When the parents had got through kiss
ing the little girl they asked her where
she had been
I'm house" she replied Man put
baby to bed but wake her up and take
out in snow. Bad man. Big bad man.
The child is 50 young that question as
long as they might the parents could
CLEAN nothing more Ineligible from
her. She couldn't tell where the house
was or what the man looked like, and
there was nothing to show that she had
been harmed in any way. She seemed
to think that the man who carried her
away was q bad man simply because
he had taken her out Of bed and put
her in the snow.
Story Seems Correct.
Her story bears every evidence of be-
ing correct because it is impossible to
conceive of her having been out all
night Her dress when she was found
was only slightly damp as il she had
been out in the cold for only a very
few minutes. Fitzgerald says that he
examined the snow near the spot where
she was found and could find no shoe
prints leading to it. He seemed to think
that someone had carried her along the
ROAD and dropped her into the snow
alongside.
1t is extremely difficult to conceive
just what the motive OF the man who
took the child could have been One
thing seems to be reasonably certain,
however, and that is that the hue and
cry which followed the child's disap-
pcarance led him to make an attempt
to restore her to her parents.
The Ridge turnpike is much frequent
ed in the early morning and it is sup
posed that he placed her near this,
knowing that she would be picked up
by some person passing.
