Cries Of Child Heard
About 10 o'clock that night, in a

child, shortly after she had heard an
automobile approaching.

a lantern and together with her
husband searched their property.
Other naishbors, seeing the lantern
flashing in the dark, joined in the
hunt, which lasted until the eraly
morning hours. No trace of the
car could be found nor OF any child.
Later, when informed of the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of the Baker

they might shed some light on the

the suspicion of the FredericksburR
authorities that these young men
may have enticed the boy into their
machine and carried him off.
