ROSS KIDNAPPING RECALLED
Forty-tive Years Ago Today Boy
Was Whisked Away by Stranger

This is the forty fifth anniversary of
the kidnapping of Charlie Ross.
1t may be recalled that on the morn
ing of July I, Charlie. then four years
old, and his brother Walter were play
ing in front of their home in Washing
ton lane. Germantown. when stranger
asked them to go for a ride in his
wagon. Later in tn" day Walter was
found wandering alone in kenSingtom
and Charlie has never been heard of
since.
The case has probably attracted more
attention than anything Of tn" kind ON
record, not only because Of the thor
oughness with which the kidnapping was
accomplished. but also beCaus" of the
thousands of clues that have been fol
lowed in the hopes of finding the boy.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Ross are dead,
men all over the country are continually
representing themselves to be the miss
ing boy.
The old Ross homestead in German
town is now used as the Sunday schoo'
building for the Second Presbyterian
Church of Germantown.
