This event was the marriage Of Miss

MARVIN BABY
WAS STARVED.
Inquest Shows no Signs Of Foul
Play Found in Marsh Half
Mile from Home.
SAYS BOY WAS MURDERED.

DOVER, Del, May 6.-The body of
little Horace n Marvin, .Jr., who dis
appeared from the farm of his father
near here on March 4, was found in Il
marsh half mile from the farm by
Ollie Pleasanton, Il neighbor, who was
out hunting. He saw it was Horace
and hurriedly called the father, who
ped it in Il sheet and carried it home
himself.
DR.. Marvin says that he believes his
son was murdered and the body plac-
ed where it was found. The spot was
searched carefully by DR.. Marvin and
Superintendent Pearce of the Pinker-
tons three weeks ago Since then it
has been traversed regularly. In adj
dition, every inch of the ground has
been examined by searchers since the
boy disappeared Shortly after the
body was found DR.. Marvin said:
Though | am unable to examine
Horace closely until the coroner ar
rives, | am certain he was murdered,
his body brought back and left lying
on the marsh to give the impression
that he wandered out there and died.
The clothing showed no signs of hav-
ing been burned, as would undoubt-
edly have been the case had the body
lain there when the fire swept over the
marsh three weeks ago."
DR.. J. HI. Wilson said the autopsy
showed that the child had been dead
from four to six weeks, possibly lon
ger, and that he might have survived
forty-eight hours after wandering from
home. AS to the exact cause of death,
none of the physicians was ready to
express an opinion until after analysis
of the stomach. There was no sign of
violence, but many Indications point
ed to the child having wandered away
and died of hunger and exposure
The clothing which the child wore on
the day of his disappearance was still
on and was cut apart by Undertaken
Pritchett. Everything was the same
as on the day he disappeared, his init.
tens remaining on his hands. In one
of his pockets was his pocketbook in
which were four pennies, the small
china dolls and a pocket handkerchief
The clothing. While water soaked
showed no signs of decay. The spot
where he was found at present is fill
ed with at least fifteen inches of wa.
ter, accumulated from the heavy rain.
The belief is general now that the
boy was not kidnapped. but wandered
into the marsh and persisted there in
the cold. The coroner's jury has adj
journed TO wait for official reports of
the physicians.
