POLICE SPREAD ORAGNET
FOR MAN AND CHILD
Thomas L. Emmons Suspected
of Taking Little Harriet
Grant From Home. !

Chief of Police Sylvester last night sent
messages to police officials i'll cites be-
tween this city and Toronto. Canada,
asking the arrest of Thomas l.. Emmons,
nineteen years old, who is supposed to
have with him Harriet Grant, the seven
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank r Grant of 40 street north
west. 1t is charged that ne took the
child away with him Yesterday morning.
The chiId's father also complained of
the loss of $50
Emmons had resided with the Grant
family since June. He had previously
been employed by a piano company in
Baltimore. He had no employment in
this city, Mr. Grant told the police, but
being from Toronto Grants former
home, he was taken in and treated as a
member of the family.
Child Attached to Him.
Little Harriet became much attached
to the new member of the family. it is
stated, and Emmons often remarked that
she looked like sister who had died in
Toronto some time ago. He was anxious
that her parents should permit her to go
with him to Toronto, but they refused to
let her go.
During the time Emmons resided here
he discussed his family troubles with
the Grants. He told them of the death
OF his parents. brother and sister, and
of the destruction OF his home by fire.
He said ii was necessary for him to re-
turn to Toronto to collect $3.50 insurance
money and he was anxious to take the
child with him.
II was supposed that Emmons had
abandoned all idea of taking the child
away, her parents stated. and yesterday
when she asked permission to go to a
nearby store with Emmons to get some
candy. her mother offered no objection.
Parents Get Alarmed.
When Harriet failed to return home by
noon her mother made Inquiries for her.
She thought the child had stopped to
play with companions. Later in the aft
ernoon the child's parents became
alarmed and appealed to the police. Pre-
cinct Detective Evans made an investiga-
ton, and later Detective Burlingame was
assigned to the case.
The detectives learned that young
man and girl answering the descriptions
of the missing ones had gone to Balti-
more police were wired to have search
made for them. Messages We're sent to
Buffalo and Toronto asking the police
OF those cities to take a hand in the in
vestigation.
