Older boys who induced six-year-
Eddie McAffe to play with them
along the river yesterday where he
was drowned, were severely censured
to-day by the grief-stricken mother.
At o'clock Mrs. McAffe sent her
son upon the errand from which he
never returned. Eddie, whose par
ents have just moved to their home
at 1913 North Fourth street, met some
of his new playmates as he left the
house. They induced him to go with
them to the river where they enjoyed
themselves by tossing stones.
Eddie was padding in the water
when one of his companions saw him
lean over, as though he were going to
put his face in the water. When they
looked again they saw his body slide
into the stream, opposite Muench
street. The other boys, seeing they
could not rescue him, ran for help.
Up until a late hour to-day, river
men had conducted an unsuccessful
search for the body.
