(Continut d from Page one.)


 In speaking of the case, Mrs. Moore, the mother, said:
 Kenneth was not a wild boy; on the contrary he was exceedingly quiet and much preferred to stay at home and read good book, than to even go to the theater with his brother. am quite csures that he did not go away alone, because his mind. was centered on going to college the year after next and he was wise enough to know that to leave home was not the way to successfully graduate from high school and go farther in educa- tion. He was always ready and will ing to work and was we'll liked by his many boy friends and his neighbors. During the summer he would cut grass, chop wood. run errands flor the neighbors, also peddle apples and put the money he earned away so that it might be spent on his higher education. As I have said before, he was not exceedingly fond of shows, yet he was not morose, but as many of his friend; have already told us, was a jolly companion. Besides car rying on his school work. he con- tinued to deliver papers, took danc- ing and piano lessons. Only Tuesday I asked him if he was not going to the junior dance which takes place tonight, and he said that he wasn't quite sure. I told him that he should attend in order to keep up fr1endslp with the class members, but he was
 
 said he would decide after he had taken his last dancing lesson on Fri day, which is today.
 I've have found that he failed in l one of his subjects, Latin, on Wednes- day, when reports were given out Some people have advanced opinions that probably he was afraid to come home with the card. Such a state ment is utterly impossible, for he need never be afraid to come home. In the past when his grade has not been as high as it might be. his fath- CT has come to understanding with him: after talking the thlng over, but there has never been any punishment of the simplest kind.
 Ut could only have been under the greatest persuasion that he went away accompanied by any one. None or his friends are missing and he was not corresponding with any boys out of town. He was a stubborn boy, ana could not be easily persuaded. lie was also sensitive. He would enjoy joking with you, but you had 10 consider just how you would joke with him in order not to hurt his feel- angs; 4ahhors have sue- gested that probably he mas gone 10 1oin the U. s. forces This is hardly possible. He would not be accepted in the army and was too young look dng and too short to be taken in the navy either. He could not possibly

 Early last evening MT. Moore, fath- CT of the boy, went to the raplroad station to search for his son, but It was of no avail, however the police haver eceived information from one of the employees at the baggage room that between 9 and 10 o'clock last night a young man and boy came to the room and wished to have thelr baggage, consisting of one smaD satchel. checked for some place in New Hampehirc. The young man said that he was going back 10 ms home in that state, while the young boy (who answered Moore's descrip- tion) said that he was from Strat- ford, but was going visiting to New Hampshire. Having heard of the miss ing boy and becoming suspicious, the = baggage master lnstructeu lne poS to wait a few minutes while he went to secure some more checks. Tn truth, the man went to secure a mem Der of the Travellers Aid Society to take care of these two persons. when the welfare worker and the baggage man returned the youths had disap- Deared. Just whether the smaller boy was Kenneth Moore and if so how he came into contact with this supposed New Hampshire person, IS a-question unsolvable.
 About 9 o'cloc'- yesterday morning Brewer Gregory, also of Stratford, came into the news store of Charles Abercrombie on Main street and told Abercrombie that he had just mel an old friend who had informed nm that Moore had boarded low blue Coles about 2 o'clock at the corner sof Congress and Main street in this city Gregory had worked during the summer at the Connecticut Clamp
