What are you worrying about? Let me go and I'll tell you where he is." The prisoner, according 70 Major Adams also virtually admitted that he wrote the letters signed The Crank and got the s12,O0O left by George H. Coughlin, father of the missing child, under deserted trolley station outside Iof Norristown
 Major Adams denied reports that Pasquale is becoming a physical wreck from the long examinations he has gone through since last Monday o the other hand, Major Adams said. the prisoner is composed and suave. He admbs nothing unless he is convinced that the police have the proof against him. When they ply him with other questions that would incriminate him if answered, he smiles, shrugs his shoulders and says nothing.
 ! The state and local police for several days have been convinced that the missing child is alive and that woman l Is connected with the case. Pasquale s confirmation of their convictions has re- suited in increasing the force. of men who are now searching for a habitue of the underworld and his supposed sweet heart. They are acquaintances of Pas Iquale's and are believed to be the actual kidnappers and the present possessors of the baby. The name of the man is known to the police as it was given them by Pasquale, but he failed to iden-
 tjfy a police photograph of lis friend
 when shown him late today.
 The state and city authorities said i they had to proceed very carefully in the case as they wanted to return the baby alive to it's mother. They did not know the temperament of the present keepers of the child nor how desperate 1Kr 6GHr hoTv7 1A1, for abduction in Pennsylvania is life
 Imprisonment.
 l The police believe the captors of the child are ready to abandon him if they
 can do it without detection. Both Major Adams and Alfred I. Souder, cap tain of city detectives. said tonight they would not be surprised if the baby turn ed up any minute.
 Pasquale was brought to this city early today from Harrisburg. When arrested last Monday he was taken to Trenton, N J., and then brought into
 this state and most of the time he has
 been under guard in the state capital
 This afternoon he was taken to the
 county workhouse at HolneSburg
 where he was kept for an hour attempt i ing to make certain identifcations and
 then brought back to the central police
 station in City Hall.
 | T will take full responsibility TOT iPasquales confinement" said Major Adams When the charge is made il will be either Kidnapping or murder, the former if Blakely is returned alive, the Ilatter if dead. The black-railine scheme was one of the most clever ever Iattenpted It took much work and more
 than 100 men guarding 5s miles of rail
 road to catch him. Knowing the child is alive, we are working to that end.
 'We have identified Pasquale beyono any doubt We found in his Philadel
 phia room the charred bits cf an en- velope addressed to George H. Coughlir
 at Norristown, the father of the child lAll over it was scribbled a series o1 sRs' showing an attempt to practice
