FOLLOW CLUE
To KIDNAPPING
Phone Conversation Heard
in Store Here Followed up
in TorrenS Case

Late developments in the Torrens
kidnapping case have shed some
light upon the mysterious telephone
call made to Pompton Lakes or
Sunday afternoon from the White
Cross Pharmacy at 37S State street
by a man answering to the descrfp-
ton of Alfred Torrens. the father OF
the child and one of her kidnappers
1t has been brought out that the
man who made the call got in touch
with Mrs. Gurnee. a neighbor of the
Simpsons at Pompton Lakes. He
gave his name as Alfred Torrens and
wanted to speak to his wife. Unable
to reach his wife directly. he asked
Mrs. Gurnee to tell her that the baby
had a nurse and a doctor and that
he still loved his wife, who left him
in January and went back to her
versation by saying Il don't know
what will happen to me now"
Mrs. Gurnee Immediately tele-
phoned to the police here and they
went to the drug store where the call
had been traced, but Torrens had
gone.
On the theory that the child is
held here, or near here, Chief of
Police Bert Miller of Pompton Lakes
spent yesterday helping the Perth
Amboy police in their hunt for her.
Joseph Brolfein. 451 State street,
a clerk in the pharmacy, said that as
he was waiting upon a customer be-
tween 1880 and 200 o'clock Sunday
afternoon a man, coming from the
direction of Smith street, entered the
store and went into the telephone
booth. He closed the door of the
booth but Brolfein distinctly heard
him call Pompton Lakes and engage
in conversation with a party there.
Snatches of speeches heard by
you do your part and I'll do mine;"
THE baby is all right" you go and
see Bill about it as soon as you cam
and IT don't know what will happen
to me-"
Emerging from the telephone
booth the man requested change for
a dollar bill. Taking the change, he
re-entefed the booth and again
called Pompton Lakes, according to
Brolfein. The clerk could not say
whether or not the man reached
Pompton Lakes the second time, but
he said that the man suddenly
slammed down the receiver, came
hurriedly out of the booth and went
hastily out of the store, turning to
the left in the direction Of Smith
street.
Brolfein described the man as
about six feet in height, with dark,
possibly black, hair; dark complex
ion and smooth shaver. He wore
no coat or hat. but had on a brown
striped silk shirt and white soft
collar, with a four-in-hand tie. His
trousers yer dark in color, Brolfein
thought.
Captain Long was not notified
through the drug store. but received
a call from Pompton Lakes through
a woman representing Mrs. Torrens,
the mother of the missing child.

and that this fact should have weight
with the unions in granting a re-
d%uction. The request was made by
the master builders with the idea in
view of stimulating the building
business, which at the time was at
a standstill in this city.
Prior to May 1, when the men
refused to work for less money and
the master builders refused to con-
tinue the old wage scale, notice had
been served on the unions of the
desired reductions and many con-
ferences were held by the various
unions and the master builders, but
no understanding could be reached.
Between May / and May ID several
more conferences were held, but
these also proved unsuccessful.
On May is. open-shop conditions
were declared to prevail in this city
by the master builders and from
that time until the present these
conditions still continue to exist
During the time that has elapsed
since the open shop was declared
many of the master builders have
continued on with their contracts
Some mechanics were brought In
from other cities and put to work
by the Building Trades Association
The unions in some case got these
men to return to their W cities
while in other cases they were moi
so successful.
