moss and sea weeds. The water is one
and a half or two feet deep. At the
fence this ditch connects with another
which extends half the length of the
field. This intersection is at the bot
tom of the soggy black hill, on a line
with the barn and about 300 or $50 yards
from the Marvin residence.
Where Kidnaper Crossed?
1t is at this spot that DR.. Marvin be
lieves the kidnaper crossed the frozen
ditch with little Horace in his arms.
Beyond the intersection CT the bitches
is a hiliy field a the edge of which there
is a row of cedar trees This field leads
10 Kits Hammock, a town almost as
old as the State of Delaware, and in
habited chiefly by fishermen. 1t is there
that DR.. Marvin believes his child was
taken. All along Jones Greek there are
fishermen's shacks, which are unoccu-
pied except in summer and fall.
West of Bay Meadows is the ,nuch-
traversed road, a few coIOred shacks
aid woods. North there are woods. The
creek is on the east side and Verden' s
farm is on the south Verden's resi-
dence is about three-quarters of a mile
from Marvin's farm.
Those are Dr. Marvins surroundings
He was a stranger in a strange land
when he purchased the farm and he has
yet to find q friend living within a ra-
dius Of five miles. Men and women
meet him on the road. They do not
ask Has your little boy been found?"
They continue on their way, but look
back at him and say to one another:
( That's DR.. Marvin, whose little boy
got lost" Friendship and hospitality
are not the strongest traits in Della
wareans who have the misfortune to
live on Jones neck. One visit there will
convince the stranger Of that.

more. They believe Mrs. Holman can
be induced to take the stand in behalf
Of her son-in-law; that information OF
inestimable value may be secured from
her. Mrs. Holman's statement Of last
Tuesday is the primary cause for this
sudden change IN the situation. il is
said. and awakened a response in Mrs.
Thaw's breast Mrs William ThaW
now realizes that she thought too
harshly Of Mrs. Holman.
Reasons for Belief.
The release Of Attorney Dolphin VI.
Delmas, who made such a savage at
tack upon Mrs Holman. is another mat
ter that strengthens the belief that the
old causes for hostility have now been
removed. The fact that Mrs. Holman
did not furnish the prosecution with any
facts Of evidence, which is nov ad-
mitted by both Mrs. Holman and Dis
trict Attorney jerome, is stu another
feature which clears the atmosphere SO
far as the two women are concerted
Now that Mrs. Holman has shown
herself ready 20 take her daughter into
her own home and 70 aid her in every
way possible, the young Mrs. Thaw may
be called 10 aid IN the adjustmtEt OF
situation which is recognized to be q
most delicate one.

was discharged from the hospital the
skin of the eyelids began to contract,

threatened his sight.
A few dayF ago he was taken to St.

surgeons and new skin taken from The

The skin had also contracted about
the mouth ana an operation was nee
essary to widen the mouth This was
done by making small .incisions at each

Surgeons say this is the first case in

provided with both eyelids. Several
times small portions OF the skin have
been grated on one eye.

Bay Meadows extends from the Rav
Road, a thoroughfare leading to Kits
Hammock and Jones Creek, down to
the creek. It covers an area of more
than 500 acres. There are several peach
groves on the farm and considerable
stock. The fields. however, have been
neglected and yield only marsh grass
and sea weed. The land around Bay
Meadows Is perfectly level and. except
on the north. where there is a strip of
woods one can see for seven or eight
miles around.

that perhaps Dr. Marvin's relatives
PLAYED some part in the kidnapping. Few
things could be more absurd. DR.. Mar
win is loved by all his relatives and
where he is known by ten men he has
ten friends Under ordinary circum-
stances he is a whole-souled, congenial
man of intelligence, discretion and
strong personality. At present he is

who is interested in his behalf.
Worn With Anxiety.
Mental torture, physical unrest, haunt
I ing fears with the harest ray Of hope,
are indelibly written on the face of this
man. His face is scanned with lines Of
care and worry. his hair shows the
touch OF time. the bright blue eyes
are set far back in his head and shaded
by very heavy reddish brows. The face
is pinched and drawn and the cheeks
sUnken and hollow. The strong, force
ful chin rests on the aged mans breast,
and he is much given to staring blankly
into space. His shoulders are stopped
and his hands move nervously about his
face or ciSthing. DR.. Marvin has gone
through an experience, the horror and
anguish Of which can never be put into
words. No matter what is the result
Of the search for his boy he will never
be the same man.
There's a silent red drum in the din
ing room Of the Marvin home. Beside
It is snow-white Teddy bear, lying
with its nose on the floor, as II weeping
for its master.
A glimpse into the life of this per-
secuted father will convince almost
anyone that he has no enemies who
would wish 10 kill him by degrees. The
history of the kidnapping of little Horace
on that raw March morning, as recited
by DR.. Marvin, brings out much that
has Yet been untold. and tends to per-
sUade his listener to accept his belief.
DR.. Marvin's Story.
My father was DR.. Horace Newell
Marvin, Of Ohio. He was one of the
first, If not the very first, homeopathic
physicians in this country. He was
married in the early '40's in WeIlsviIIe,
COlumbiana county, Ohio. That is
short distance north of Wheeling, ".
Va. It was in WellsviIle that I was
born. September H. 1915.
when I was two years old my par
ents went to Canandaigua, where my
father practiced medicine for some
years. Later they moved to Buffalo I
