Although the authorities are salts

man, OF Third and jefferson streets,
was drowned while wading In a pool
or stream leading into the Delaware
river on Friday Of last week, the par
ents OF the dead child told the cor
oner's Jury last night that they be-
lieved their boy had been murdered.
The father OF the child, addressing
the iurymen, said: II am certain some
one Killed my child. | hope, gentle
men, you will try and find the mur-
derer who killed my boy"
The father also said that while he
lid not know he had any enemies, he
thought Black Handlers had killed his
child, and pointed out that II seemed
strange that while his boy never went
in swimming before, his clothes have
not been found. II think that some
one took my boy and kept him until
Sunday and then killed him and threw
him in the water" Feldman said.
Members Of the jury pointed out that
il would hardly be likely that anyone
would kill an S-year-old child, espe-
cially when there was no motive for
such crime. The father believed that
The child had been stolen by persons
who were jealous of his happy home
and his success in business, and who
wanted TO get money from him for the
