HUNDREDS OF MoURNERs
At the Funeral Sunday Of Little Hor.
ace Marvin At Dover, Eel.

Dover, Del, May 5.-The body of
Horace Marvin. Jr., which was found
5aturda. lying III 2 ro"l Of water less
than a HALF mile from where he was
last ::c"n IlayilC March /, was inferred
today in Bay Meadow Lawn" on the
Marvin farm.
All the little fellows playmatcs and
fully 1900 neighbors joined the Marvin
fanny i'll mourning his death and at
tended the fun"ra services.
Prior to tho funeral "A men, compos-
ing Coroner Calloway's jury, officially
identified the body and authorized the
performing Of an autopsy. The jury
was thcn discharged to reconvene at
the call of the coroner.
There is much to make it appear
that the little boy for whom detectives
searched 50 long. wandered away and
fell exhausted into the pool on the
marshes where his body was found.
Doctors are trying to determine the
cause Of death for the coroner and
have decided that the boy did not
drown. No marks of violence were
found on the body. The stomach.
which was removed by DIR. Ro5yn, was
empty ana the child may either have
been frozen or starved to death. The
condition Of the stomach indicates, ac-
cordinG to the physicians. tina; the boy
suffered rrivation for at least 40 hours
prior to death.
Many are of the opinion that the boy
wandered around his fathers farm and
in his efforts to get back hcnlc over
tho frozen marshes. became exhausted
and fell into the pool. where he died
from exhaustion and privation. To
have reached the spot where til" body
was found the boy must have walked
across frozen and snow-covereJ fields
in the face Of a driving wind and then
climbed two high embankmcnts he

Dover, Del, May J.-Lying i'll a
marsny piece of land, the body of lit
tie Horace Marvin, son of DR.. II. n.
Marvin, whose mysterious disappear
ance from the Bay Meadow farm, near
Dover, had baf1led solution since March
A. was found about half a mile from the
Marvin farm Saturday by Ollie Pleas
anton, farmer.
Pleasantor, who lives on a farm ad-
joining the Marvins, came upon the
child's body while out cunning. The
child lay face downward i'll patch of
meadow grass. There was not a mark
UPON the little boys body indicating
foul play. 1t was in a good state OF
preservation, suggesting that it had
been frozen.
Pleasantor says he saw the body at
a distance Of 20 feet.
Friday. several gunners passed over
this land, but none saw the body, II 1t
was there then.
The spot where the body was found
is midway between the Marvin home
and the Delaware river.
When Ollie PleasantOn came upon the
child's body he found the clothing m
tact. The boys little wooden REFER was
buttoned up securely about the hody
and not an article of clothing which he
had on when he disappeared was miss
ing. His knit cap Wae pulled over tit
face and his mittenS were on ms
htnGs.
Dr Marvin says he has searched over
thr %amc marsh nearly every day since
IN Jiyappcarancc. and with detectives
burned grass off the place four weeks
ago hut saw no signs of the body.
TI,o theory that the body has bcIn
recently placed where il was 1ounh Is
s,,ppr rtcd by the fact that Dr. Marvin

when they burned the tall sage grass
from il. Ill.,,

BODY was found he SAID:

that he wandered out there and died.
THE clothing showed no signs OF

full and complete investigation of the
affair. Atty. Gen. Hastings and mis-
deputy will sec to the examination of
the body. and if foul play is shown,
will order arrests if possible.
Detectives who have been on the
case are inclined to the belief that the
boy wandered into the marshes from
the farm on the day of his disappear
ance and being overcome by the cold,
fell exhausted where the body was
found.
PleasantOn, who discovered the body,
has figured in the case since the time
Horace was lost. He reported that he
saw two strange men who inquired
about the topography of the country
three days before the child's disappear
arcc.
The recovery of the body was report
cd to Gov. Lea in Wilmington, who
directed state detectives to make a
rigid investigation of all the circum-
stances.
