HEARD BABY
OVER PHONE
Or. Horace n. Marvin Received a
Call Supposed TO be From Erie,
Pa = Search is Continued.

DOVER, Del, Mar l9:-Hardly
daring to hope that he heard the voice
of his long missing four-year-old
son over telephone wire, DR.. Horace
~ Marvin today was anxiously wait
ing for news from Erie, Pa. at which
place the police think perhaps kid
nappers have hidden the boy.
DR.. Harry Marvin, stepbrother of
little Horace Marvin, held long con-
phone with persons who are believed
to be the kidnappers of the boy He
thinks he heard the voice of the mis-
sing child.
The person who had summoned
him refused absolutely to talk with
detectives, saying that he wanted to
speak only with the father of the
missing boy. He at last agreed to talk
with DR.. Harry Marvin, who said that
the supposed kidnapper offered to
prove beyond all doubt that he had
the boy in his possession by permit
ting him TO talk to his father over
the wire.
When the father took the receiver
the supposed kidnapper said.
IN prove to you I'm the man
who's got your child. Here's your
boy"
In second a child's thin treble
came over the wire. The father call
ed to the child and says voice an
swered papa" plaintively: The
The father asked familiar things OF
the child
There We're tears on the fathers
cheeks as he stepped back from the
| telephone.
Il can't tell. You try, Harry,
quick, catch him' he begged.
Harry called to Erie:
Hello, Horace, do you know Har-
ry?"
The man listened intently. Soon
the childish voice came down from
Erie
Yes
1T sounds like the baby's voice,
and it doesn't" said the man at this
end
The father again essayed to talk
with the child, but the elder Marvin s
voice was weak with emotion
In return there was just the faint
est whisper from Erie. The father
and brother were not able to say that
the voice belonged to little Horace.
On that point there was a difference,
and 1t was decided to make another
effort later.
