PUTAT|VE MOTHER
MUST GIVE SCOTT
STRONGER PROOF
Follows Clues to Establish His
Percentage, Only to Find
They Are False.
SEARCHING FOR NURSE
WHO KIDNAPPED HIM
Will Not Acknowledge Mrs.
Coleman, He Says. Until He
Is Fully Convinced.

Although he is trying to establish
the claim of Mrs. Sarah Coleman, of
"a Broome street, to be his mother, AL
fred Scott, of Bergen street and Spring.
field avenue, still refuses to recognize
her as such. He told STAR reporter
today that not until the nurse who was
supposed to have kidnapped llfra,
should prove behind all doubt that he
really is the son of Mrs Coleman, or
Mrs. Heimowitz. as she was before she
was divorced In Russia. and at the time
she gave birth. to her kidnapped baby.
would he concede her claims.
The clue that gave Scott hope OF
soon clearing up the case was today
followed up by him and reporter,
and proved false. Several weeks ago,
according to Scott. an aged man poorly
dressed and wearing a long white
beard. called at Mrs. Coleman's home, 81
Broome street. and told her she need
no longer doubt the identity of Scott
'.he is surely your son." he said
Finally, Scott was told by Simon
Kahn, clothing dealer in the ''hill''
section, that there was a certain Mrs.
Ida Chilestein. of SO Mulberry street,
who might be able to tell the identity
of the old man and even perhaps dis
close the name of the nurse who is
supposed to have kidnapped Scott six
teen years ago. When seen today.
however Mrs. Chilestein said she had
been in this country thirty years and
that she knew no man answering to
the description of the mysterious He
brew.
Scott turned away and said: well,
guess this means that we will have to
wait a while yet before recognize
Mrs. Coleman as my mother. / will not
do SO until this nurse supposed to have
kidnapped me. l will keep at the mat
ter. however, until I've settled 1t one
way or another"
Scott says he win not prosecute his
supposed kidnapper IL she win make
her identity known.
