GIVE UP HOPE FOR BOY.
Marvin Case Likely to BE Parable
to Charley Ross kidnapping.

to Charley Ross htdnaping.
As the dismal days come and go tho
seemingly impenetrable mystery in the
disappearance of little Horace Marvin
from Dover, Del, grows deeper. And
the army of astute detectives on the
case. several of them masters Of crime
and hidden circumstance, admit that
they are utterly battled. 1t is an aston
ishing fact that these detectives, to-
gether with the police machinery of all
the principal cities in the United States,
the famed PinkertOn Detective Agency,
and host OF amateur sleuths have
failed to develop one single distinct
clew TO the missing boys whereabouts
since the search was begun on March 4.
What did happen to little Horace
Marvin when he passed from the eyes
Of his now sOrrOwing father for the last
time? 1t is a question that may never
be answered. And from present indi-
cations the case Will go down as rival
ing all other KIDNAPPING mysteries in
the history of the country.

when he disappeared from the home Of
his father. Christian Ross, Washington
lane, Germantown, Pa, July !, 1874.
He is now generally believed to have
been stolen from his home, although
kidnapping was not at first suspected.
Ross reported the loss of the child to
the Philadelphia police. He had hopes
of the safe return of Charley up to July
6. Then he received letter demand
ing $4,000, conditional on the safe re-
turn of the boy. The police set out to
capture the kidnapers. From all parts
of the country boys who looked like
Charley Ross were reported. One after
another they were shown to be other
children.
On Dec. II, the same year the first
real clcws were found. That night two
men committed burglary in the Bay

Presidential pardon or a long wait
in jail is the prospect which looms up
before Carl Pitan in his present situa-
ton. Piten was arrested and taken to
Sioux Falls over year ago charged
with employing homesteaders to file
upon lands which were to be turned
over to him after proof. He was in
dicted with several others on similar
charges and presented plea of guilty.
while the others fought the cases. Pr
tan was given a sentence Of one year
In the Hughes county Jail, and to pay
fine of $1,000. Pitan, an old man,
resided in Lyman county, and was
looked upon as one Of the leading
ranchers in that county. He has now
served out his sentence Of one year,
and claims that he cannot pay the
fine which has been assessed against
him, and asked for his release from
custody. United States Attorney Por-
ter came here and gave him a hearing
before United States Commissioner
McCord, after which 1t was decided
that there could be no Communication of
the sentence ullueF the law, anu tiio@
Pitan must remain in Jail until the fine
Is paid. The United States law does
not contain the provisions of the state
law which allows a fine to be served
out at stated price per day, and un-
less Pitan can in some way secure the
money to pay the fine he will have to
remain in Jail until he is released by
presidential pardon.
