CHARLEY ROSS KIDNAP STORY '
 AGAIN REVIVED
Over Half a Century Ago This Was a Sensation Death of Bowery Derelict Resur r e z ts Tale

New York, Nov 2S (UP)-Docu- ments purporting to prove that q bowery derelict who died here last March was Charley Ross, whose Kidnapping in 1874 was a national sensation, will be examined this week by a detective. The docu- ments are in the possession of Miss Emma Kleinhertz, of 3S0 w. Ridge St., Catskill, N. Y. She saw an obscure newspaper Item mention ing the death of William Brom- son. She reported that she knew Bronson, and that he had told her he was Charley Ross.
 The half-century and more that has elapsed since the blue-eyed 4-year-old Charley disappeared from in front of his Germantown, Pa, home has brought thousands of false clues, but something in Miss Kleinhertz's letter caused pO- lice to assign Detective Jacob von Weisenstein to interview her We'd nesday. Miss Kleinhertb said Bronson gave her papers proving his identity and asked her to keep them secret until after his death. Bronson, 62. died of malnutrition at Metropolitan hospital.
