ABDUCTOR OF BOY
HELD FOR MURDER
Mrs. Elizabeth Levin Must Answer
Charge of Numbering Little Max
Ernst at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Elizabeth
Lewen So, held at the woman's de-
tention home since Saturday on a
charge of abducting Max Ernest six
years old, faced a charge of murder
following the finding last night of the
body of the boy. The boy had been
strangled and the body thrown into a
marsh on the east side where two boys
found it while picking dandelions.
Early today after he had questioned
Mrs. Lewen several hours, James W.
Inches, police commissioner took per-
sonal charge Of the case declaring he
was thoroughly convinced Mrs. Lewen
had killed the Ernest child.
The woman, Commissioner Inches
said, had admitted that she was in the
vicinity of the marsh last Wednesday,
the day Max disappeared while on his
way home from school.
When taken to the morgue last night,
Mrs. Lewen declared she did not recog-
nize the boy. Officers planed to ques-
ton her further today and also to in
vestigate her mental condition. Mrs.
Lewen had denied any knowledge of
the boys whereabouts, since her de-
tention. Her arrest was asked by
Frank E. Ernest, the child's father,
who told authorities he believed she
might have kidnapped his boy to
avenge a fancied wrong in recent bus
mess dealings. The investigation had
resulted in her identification by neigh
bors of the Ernest family as a women
who had been seen in the neighborhood
the day the lad disappeared.

by German troops.
Believe Tension Passed.
(By-Associated Press Leased Wire)
London.-Tension over the Polish re-
volt in Silesia seemed here today to

yesterday, says the "Matin." The at
titude Belgium and France would take

into Upper Silesia without authorize
ton from the allies, was discussed, the
newspaper asserts, and a complete
agreement was reached.
