Brought Here March II
Mrs. Miller saws the woman
brought the boy 10 her house on
March IL and said she had been
recommended TO her at the chamber
OF commerce. The Meeeham boy
was not reported missing until the
oath, but Sheriff Gillett believes he
may have been missing for some
time before the information was
given to the police.
A weeks board in advance was
paid for by the woman. whom Mrs.
Miller describes as rather young,
and very dark, being Of the gypsy
type. She stated she wished to
leave the boy there for few days
and would later return for him.
Nothing has been heard from her
since.
Secretary Coyle, of the chamber
of commerce, saws the woman called
at his office and asked if he knew
of any person who took care of
young children. He referred her to
Mrs. Miller and thought nothing
more of the affair rs he is frequent
IL called upon for such information.
He also described the woman as be-
ing very dark and she seemed TO be
unusually nervous. She signed the
register as Mrs. J. Devean, Los
Angeles.
Believe Child Stolen
Whether or not the youngster is
the Meecham boy, the sheriff and
Mr.. Swanson believe he was not
the son of the woman who brought
him there although he refers to her
as mamma and saws he is not
going to see her again. Both Off
Gals think he was stolen from some
other place if not from San Berna-
dino.

by Sheriff Gillett, and given to the
San Bernardino papers, tailed with
descriptions in their files. The San

Gillett that the Meecham baby is
only three weeks old and that Mrs.
Meecham has been quite i'll since its
Birth.

ed. they feared to make known his
loss to his parents. This seems high

sheriff $ belief that the arrival Of

Another clue to the possible loca-
ton of the missing BOYS was secelN-
ed at the sheriff's this morning
when information came in that a
band Of gypsies arf camped near
Wtstmorland. Undersheriff Bert
Underwood left for that place i'm

If the signals are already loud

are not made for loud-talher use and
that they will handle only a certain

will be shaken up violently against

Adoption of a State policy for con-
