guarded day and night.

larly bold, having mailed one of them
within q few blocks of the home of one
of the girls. The other letter was
mailed in this city, but both are in the
same handwriting, are correctly spelled
and were evidently written by an edu-
Gated person.

a threatening,letter. 1t had been mailed
hin the lower section of Manhattan and
read as follows:
Mrs. Melloy, we are going to kid
nap your daughter some time with
in the next month, and on any day
tina she should fail to arrive home
you will know that she has been
kidnapped. We want her because
she is pretty n we can make much
money with her.
The letter to the Crantz family ar
rived several hours later and was
mailed in Rosebank. 1t was traced to
a letter-boX within a few blocks of the
Crantz home, n said:
Dear Mrs. Crantz: We are going
to kidnap your daughter some time
within fifteen days. so that she will
be able to keep company with the
Meloy girl, who will be kidnapped
at the same time.
The parents of both girls were frantic
with apprehension when the letters
were received. The examinations for
high school were to be held today, but
the whole school Is in such an excitable
condition over the threats that the ex-
aminations will be postponed until they
recover from their
Thu families held a consultation and
decided to hire a guard for the girls
to accompany them whenever they go
to school or are out walking. In the
meantime the police are making every
effort to hunt down the author of the
letters.
