LAD MAY BE
DEAD IN MARSH

DOVER, March 11-Although Dr.
Horace n. Marvin and his relatives
still cling to the theory that little four
year-old Horace Marvin. the Doctors
son. has been kidnapped. detectives
employed by the State. who began an
investigation yesterday, will not conn
INIT themselves to any statement, and
the mystery is as deep as ever.
BY many persons it is believed. as
the result Of the work Of the detectives
and their method Of questioning. that
bhey viii not work on the kidnapping
theory until they are convinced the
boy has not met with an accidental
death and his body is now lying in a
secret spot on the fve hundred acre
farm.
An important result Of the detec-
tives' work was the cutting down Of
the time from sixteen to seven and i
half minutes between the time when
little Horace was last seen sitting on
top Of the straw pilD and when he dis
appeared.
This was shown by statements OBJ
tained from the Marvin family. em-
ployes and other persons who were on
the farm last Monday morning, when
the boy IS supposed to have been kid
mapped. Detectives To-day began a
systematic search OF the farm and the
neighboring grounds.
DIR. Marvin has directed two private
detectives to contiue running out clews
which seem to lead to the kidnapping.
BY their straightforward answers 10
the questions Of the detectives mem-
bers of the family eliminated them
selves from all suspicion in the dis
appes rarce Of the boy.
While they were being questioned
town gossips declared the men who
last saw the boy should be subjected
to vigorous questioning. These were
Charles W. WoOdall and Frank II.
Butler. who saw the boy wave his
chuhby fist at thcm as they drove past
on Monday. Both We're closely ques-
toned by the detectives. but their
stories did not vary.
In all of lower Delaware yesterday
church members and ministers prayed
that the boy would be restored to his
father. In the Wesley Methodist
| Episcopal church the services were
converted into a public prayer meet
ing Of sympathy for Or. Marvin and
| his son.
one Of the scores Of letters received
by DR.. Marvin was from A. l. Odel.
| Of East lO2nd street. New York. Sc
close did the description Of the boy
which Mr.. Odeu said he had seen tars
with Horace that Miles standish, Mr.
| Marvin's brother-in- law, telephoned q
the New York police and asked then
/ to follow up the clew.
