Body Found Within Few
Yards of Home--Miss
ing Since Sunday
COMMUNITY AROUSED
Negro Living There Is
Suspected, But Has
Disappeared
(By Associated Press)

Moorestown, N. Y, June 1.-THE
body of seven-year-old Matilda Rus
So which has been missing since
last Saturday evening was found to-
day buried in the cellar of negro
shack not more than fifty yards from
her own home. The child had been
striped of clothing and the throat
and abdomen deeply hacked or cut.
She was the daughter of Michael
Russo, a tailor.
Police of Burlington and Camden
counties, tonight are seeking Lewis
Lilely, a 35 year old negro in whose
cellar the mutilated body was found.
The crime was discovered yesterday
and kept secret by the authorities
for twenty-four hours in hope of
capturing the negro and in fear that
if it became known summary ven
gence might descend on him because
of the inflamed sentiment of the
townspeople.
Commissioners of Moorestown met
in special session today and offered
reward of $500 for the rarest of
the child's assailant.
A further examination showed the
skull of the child had been crushed.
A butcher knife and a shoemaker's
hammer were found in shed in the
rear of Lively's home today. Neither
showed any blood stains. The little
girl blue dress and her brown shoes
and stockings she wore when she dis
appeared have not been found.
While the authorities announced
the girl had been mistreated, a ply
stefan stated that she had not been
attacked.
In Lely's house there is a small
negro boy, who his wife had adopted.
This child, and the Russo children,
who are of Italian nationality, had
frequently quarreled, and the police
believe the murder may have been
the result of race feud.
Lively's wife and the negro boy are
being held as state witnesses. They
could not explain Lively's disappear
ance. They had been away on a weeks |
visit and were arrested on their re-
turn.

Woman Detective Lured
Five Men to Receive
Reward of $500
ALL WERE PUT IN JAIL
Letter Had Been Sent
to Mother Demanding
$4,000 Ransom
(By Associated Pressl

New York City, June II. -
The body of a seven-year-old boy
found floating in the Hudson river
today off Piermont, N. Y, was iden-
titled tonight as that of GIUSEPPE
Vaortta, kidnapped May "a, and held
for ransom. The Identification was
made by the boys father who went to
Piermont with detectives as soon as
New York police were notified.
The boy disappeared while at play
before his home and mis- parents be-
lieved he had been lost. After the
police had seartned the city for two
days the child's mother received a
letter demanding $4,000 for the safe
return of her son. The letter threat
ened the child, and other members of
the family, with death if the money
was not paid.
A womAn detective, posing as a
cousin of Mrs. Varotta, few days
later, trapped five men who came in
response to letter from the mother
offering $500 for the return of her
child.
The police believe that the arrests
of these five men would brighten the
others into returning the boy. They
continued their search, aided by pri-
vate and p-d HvwaisNcletheoprom
vate detectives and prominent veal
thy persons, who became interested
in the case, but no trace of the miss
ing child could be found. The five
men are now in prison awaiting trial
under $4,000 bail each, on indict-
ments charging them with being i'm
plicated in the attempted extortion
of money for Vargotta.
