the Lad.
Every Inch of Surround
ing Country Searched
in Vain.

The efforts of The Washington
Sunday Times to rend the veil of
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of little Horace Marvin have
been seconded by other newspapers
throughout the country, among
them being the Buffalo Times. The
publicity given to various sugges-
tions and theories is bound to do
good work in keeping constantly be
fore the minis Of readers the baf-
fling question, apparently now as
far from solution as it was the day
after the boy vanished, and no eff
forts will be spared to reach a def
mite conclusion IN the matter.
DR.. Horace y. Marvin. the sorrOwing
father Of the missing lad. is firmly Of
the opinion that the boy was stolen, so
he writes TO The Sunday Times. but he
says that he Is by no means sure now
that the child IS living, since the men
who kidnapped him may have killed him
to hide one crime by a deed even more
heinous.
Fathers Sad Words.
DR.. Marvin's letter to The Sunday
Times follows:
ITO the Editor OF The Sunday Times:
The little boy was on a strawstack
alone at 10 a m, about 200 feet in the
rear-of-the house. The time between
his surely being there and the time he
was missed was not more than twenty
minutes.
NO one was seen in that part. Of the
farm Broken ice twenty rods beyond
The stack showed where parties had
crossed the ditch on soma poles.
They could be under cover all the
time. from the time Of leaving the
stack until on the bay shore. half a
mile away, where a boat could take
them up or down the shore.
The Pinkertons were Of the opinion
that he was on the farm. Four of
them have searched the farm for thirty
days; removed all straw ana fodder;
taken up the floors OF the building;
dragged every ditch; examined every
well; in fact, covered the country for
two miles around, as If with a fine
tooth comb. After working on the case
for thirty days they have no clue.
The Fathers Theory.
MY theory Is this:
For two days before going to the
farm I had been moving my goods
there, and they were there without pro
lection until Saturday night. when ]
arrived with my two little boys sun
day they played on the straw stack.
Sunday night the women Of the family
came. Monday the children were again
on the stack, when at 10 a. m. the
youngest was left there by his brother.
and that is the last we know Of him.
THESE must have been local people
or local peoples employees for no
stranger could get from The house to
the bay without knowing the ground
Thinking no one was there, they
came for plumber. Finding the house
occupied, and the little one alone or
the stack, On the impulse they took him
for q reward
Later, learning of the penalty they
do not dare TO return MIN or TO negOti-
ate.
'I think that he is either sent out OF
the country or that they have thrown
him into the bay to cover their crime.
This is my impression, but the fact is,
there Is no definite clue as TO what has
become of him.
Anything I can do to help find him
] must do Inform me-
