wall, officials declared today, but the
hunt will go doggedly on.
'It has now settled down to long
drawn out search declared Chief Eiler,
of the Norristown police. 1--WE will
never give up, and we hope that some :
thing may break at some time that
will solve the kidnapping.
Since the baby was lifted from its
crib in the home of Mr.. and Mrs

no real clue has been developed. accord
ing to the chief.
The investigation has split into two
branches, one a hunt for the abductor,
the other search for the person who
swindled the father out Of $4,000. That
sum was placed back Of the Swedeland
trolley station last Monday at the de-
mand Of the supposed abductor.
Chief Eiler questioned Joseph ID.

who threw doubt on the ransom
payment made by Mr.. Coughlin. Eiler
later said he fully Believes the money
was placed back of the station by the
hopeful father. He is convinced. he
said. that Carroll did not have an un =
interrupted view Of the station Mon =
day night.
The father and his friend and coun
sci, Major c. Townlcy Larzelerc, de
scribed in detail their visit Monday
night to the, little trolley station and
told how they placed the money at the
spot designated by the supposed alb
ductor. The actual placing Of the
money occurred at II 80 p. M, they
said.
Carroll and two watchmen assert
they were at the station at the hour
named by Coughlin and Larzelerc.
Carroll says no one placed money there.
The chiefs story was branded false
by Mr.. Coughlin and the major.
"Mr. Coughlin walked around the
station before he hid the money as
directed" stated Major Larzelere.
The lights of the station were Oh

from our motorcar ! went first with O

Captain Price, of the state police
identification bureau, arrived in Nor
