Hours after the body had been recovered an uncle Of the boy went 10 a morgue and identified 1t.
 Manner of Death Strange
 Coroner's physicians were unable 10 fix the manner of death. Small gashes on the left and right temples, and two bruises on the back Of the head were insufficient to have caused death, they said. There was no evil denct that he died Of strangulation or suffocation or that he was drowned. They indicated that the staying might have been done through A sponge or rag saturated in acid pressed to the mouth. The eyes, nose and lips were blue and bit of brown coloring chung to the mouth.
 Tried to Get Money
 Seven hours after the body had been found an attempt was made to collect the demanded ransom. A taxi cab was sent to the Franks home. the driver insisting that he had no instructions except to call for Mir. Franks who was to direct him wliere to go. Charles Robinson, driver of the cab, who told detectives last night the person ordering the taxicab rep- resented himself to be Franks. Rob inson was allowed to go after ques- tioning.
 May Be Boys Work
 Doubt that the staying was the work Of adult kdnappers waa ex- pressed last night by Mike Hughes, chief of detectives. "1t looks more ike the work of boys 10 me- he said. The theory that the lad was seized through a motive bascr than kid mapping also is held.
 Rewards totaling s1o.o00 for infor- nation leading to the arrest or conyic- ion Of the boys slayer have been of- cred. The boys father offered s5,- 100 and similar offer was made by he Chicago Herald and Examiner.
