nation to DR.. Marvin. II was in the
shape of letter from Richard
Wilburson, an Englishman, Of Jer-

Marvin admit that Wilburson init
mates that he knows the present

to disclose the contents OF the let
ter. The demand no makes for re
ward for giving information is also
kept n secret.
BY the detectives and the father

sage OF the detective agency are re-
garded as the strongest clews that
have been unearthed since the boy
disappeared.

enue, Mechanicsville, NJ Y, writes
to DR.. Marvin that he believes he
lodged the missing boy last Wednes.
