lev River, Not Kidnaper, Gets Children

KINGSTON, ILL.-The Kishwaukee
n river gave up the lifeless body OF
Roger Brown, six, who. with his
playmate, Isabel Kiefer, eight, disap-
reared the day before. The finding
of a mitten frozen in the ice revealed
that Isabel, too, persisted in the icy
waters.
The recovery Of the body of the
little boy shattered hope to which rela-
tives had tenaciously chung that the
two children had been kidnapped for
ransom, and that they still lived. This
faith had been bolstered up by clair
voyant, in whose powers relatives be-
ueved.
An all-night vigil on both sides OF
the river bank had proven futile.
While police of Kingston and neigh
boring cities were bending every eff
fort to which they believed might lead
to the recovery of the children from
kidnapers, frantic search was being
prosecuted along the river.
From Kingston. Genoa and the
whole countryside came men and
women in automobiles to offer their
services. In tent on the river bank
women made coffee and sandwiches.
Dynamite was used in blasting the
ice from the river. Headlights of a
hundred automobiles were turned upon
the river to aid the searchers. After
