THINK BOY STOLEN
Concern Over Case of
Child with Gypsy
Band

Many Maine people are much stirred
over the case Of a young boy. apparently
seven or eight years old, who Ia being
dragged about from place to place by a
band Of Gypsies. As the boys skin is
very light. in strong contrast to that Of
the Gypsies as a whole. these people are
suspicious that the child was stolen.
The little lad, they say. is Of very sick
ly appearance and shows plain evidence
Of Ill treatment. Mrs. Ada F. Hunt. State
agent for the protection Of children, has
received several complaints about the
case. The first came from Windsor at
the time the fair in that town was being
held. Mrs. Hunt took a trip to Windsor
to investigate the matter, but the Gypsies
departed before her arrival.
Later complaints reached Mrs. Hunt
from the town Of Union, where a fair
was taking place. Mrs. Hunt thought 1t
more expedient-to put the case into the
hands of the Knox county agent for the
protection OF children, but this Official did
not press the matter. The Gypsies were
taken into custody on some charge not
connected with the case OF the child and
the Knox county sheriff was asked to
hold the child. Deputy Sheriff Dslnton
was sent to Union to get the boy. The
Gypses and the noy had gone when he
arrived. At preliminary hearing the
respondents had been discharged and one
OF the women had stated to the officials
that she was the mother Of the boy Mrs.
Hunt states that the mere fact that the
boy is being taken about and not sent to
school would be sufficient grounds for
holding the child
Many Union and Windsor people are
not satisfied that the boy is. as the Gyp-
sizes claimed. one Of their own tribe One
may who saw the boy was so impressed
hy his pitiful condition that he has com
municated with Mrs. Hunt three different
times n regard to the case
Information has come to Mrs Hunt of
the case Of a child who two years ago
was stolen from his Pennsylvania home
and now Is Of about the age of the boy
who is the object Of so much concern,
and also. SO far as is known. Of the Same
general description.
