500 In Search For G Year
Old Girl in Phila-
delphia
LURED IN AUTO
Hold Alleged Kidnapper
Other Sister Found
Dazed Tells Story Of
Abduction
nv United Press.)

Philadelphia. Feb. 26.-Five
hundred police and detectives
and hundreds of civilians today
are securing the northeast sec
tidr of Philadelphia for Lillian
Gilmore, 6, who was kidnapped
and is believed to have been mur
dered late Saturday.
The child with her sister. Dor
othy, was lured into an automo-
bile while playing in front of her
home and police have sought in
vain for a clue that would lead
to her whereabouts or the dis
covery of her body.
Dorothy, who was found and
returned home after the abduc
ton told police that the kidnap-
per had assaulted her sister than
she saw the man murder Lillian
and throw her body on the ice.
Wylie F. Morgan 3S, is under
arrest, charged with the kidnap
ping.
A crowd of hildren were play
ing in front of the Gilmore home
when a man in an old model Sc
dan drove up and invited the chill
dren to take a ride. The two lit
tie Gilmore girls got into the au-
tomobile and the man speeded
away.
Three hours later Dorothy was
found wandering in the neigh
borhood of her home. She was
dazed, hungry and half frozen. A
neighbor took her home and she
told this story:
"a man took me and Lillian on
a short ride. He hurt Lillian
and she was lying on the back
seat with her ewes closed and all
bloody. He threw her out on
the ice and then put me out of
the car"
A report of the kidnapping i'm
mediate,y sent police and As
sistant Superintendent Kinney
Immediately took charge of the
case. After 4 "a hour search au-
thcrities arrested WYE Morgan.
Morgan was lined up with &c
civilians and Dorothy was taken
to police headquarters. She was
carried past the lin, and as she
passed Morgan she screamed;
That's him Papa, that's him"
Police grilled the suspect for
many hours. He denied the kid
mapping and gave an alibi in
which the police do not place
much credence. Bloodspots were
found on Morgan's' Clothing ac-
cording to the police.
"There is no question in my
mind that Morgan is the kidnap-
per, neither is there any doubt
that Lillian was murdered, AS.
sistant Superintendent Kinney
said today.
