charged until identified. And said

his socks are marked David s.. and
most Of his other garments have diff

are not az all sure he Is your son. We
must ask you to come down here and
identify him" "Oh." said the little
lady, that's Tom all right. He's
always wearing other peoples clothes
and leaving his things at the other
boys houses" NANCY WNNNE.
