MOTHER IS HELD
 AS SONS SLAYER
Arrest May Solve Atlantic City
 "Kidnapping" Mystery

Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 15.-The body Of James Blake, five years old, son Of MT. and Mrs Jame Blake of this city and Philadelphia, was washed up by the sea on the beach at Ventnor, a cottage city adjoining this resort, about ten o'clock yester- day morning. ,
 The police say that the boys moth CT while in a fit of mental alteration super1nduced by a narcotic threw the boy from pier into the waves act Ing from an irresistible impulse. The child was virtually a mute. Neverthe- less he was very popular with those who knew him and was affectionately known as Buddy"
 The police say Mrs. Blake felt that this fact was the cause of her hus- bands separation from her. Mr. Blake has been living at her moth CTS home. His wife and son board ed nearby.
 Early yesterday afternoon Mrs. Blake was called upon at the Atlantic City hospital by William W. Sprague, chief of Ventnor police, who, standing at her bedside, read a warrant charg- ing her with having caused the death of her child. ..s#
 The mother showed scarcely any emotion and clung to her original story that two negroes robbed her and Kidnapped little James in Cambridge place, in Ventnor, on Friday night.
 Abandon Kidnap Theory. ;.
 The police of this city and Ventnor abandoned the Kidnapping theory yes- terday afternoon. Prosecutor Gaskill and his detectives. John P. Wilson and Benjamin Nusbaum, agreed with them. This was because of the find ing of Mrs. Blake's handbag in an open lot a stones throw from the mu- nicipal pier in Ventnor. It contained SIP. .... ....-...... ...-.
 Mrs. Blake told the police a sensa- tional story of being held up and robbed by two highwaymen, who made off with her bag toward the thoroughfare, an inland waterway
New Britain herald., 1919-12-15

coursing through the northerly side of this island.
 The body of little James was found on tho beach several blocks below the municipal pier on the southerly side of Nentnor.
 A physician who had attended Mrs. Blake on Friday night when she col lapSed in the veStiDule of the home of Benjamin Fox, in Ncntnor, said that shc had been using a narcotic. When questioned by Chief Sprague late Saturday night Mrs. Blake denied having been on the pier in Fentnor. She had gone to Nentnor in a jitney bus on Friday evening, she said. Lit tie James was with her. They got on a trolley car in lower Nentnor and went east. She intended to alight at Portland avenue, Mrs. Blake told the police, but went 8 block past her des- tination, leaving the car at Cambridge avenue, which also is in Ventnor While they were walking south in this street two negroes. one wearing an army service cap, suddenly appeared from behind a box hedge and directed Mrs. Blake to halt, she said
 She could not recall the appearance of the negroes. One, she said, the man with the service cap, was short and it was he who took her handbag from her. While she was struggling with him the other ran off with little James.
 According to a statement made to Detective Nusbaum, Mrs. Blake is all legged to have said at some undefined time that had little James been placed in an institution when he was a year old she and her husband might not be separated.
 Cause For Separation.
 According to this person Mrs. Blake felt that her child's affliction in large measure was the cause of her hus- bands separation from her.
 MT. Blake. is a member of a Phila- delphia insurance firm and his home has been at Mount Airy, Pa. TO i'm prove his wife's health it is under stood he had a home provided for her in a family in Oriental avenue, in at tractive surroundings. He has been living in the home of her mother, Mrs. at Mo- 123 South Vermont ave- nue, which adjoins the Oriental avenue property. Efforts wc"e made to obtain a statement from MT. Blake. He asked to be excused from discussing the case. Miss Agnes Miller, Mrs. Blakes sister, speaking for her mother also, said there was no statement to be made by the family.
 Friends of the Blake family said that the boys affliction was not even 8 remote cause contributing to the
