BABY GIRL DIES AS RESULT
KIDNAPPING BY 13-YEAR-O BOY

CHICAGO, April II. U.P)--A tiny.
blonde baby girl, Dorette zeitlow,
21a, died in st. Elizabeth's hospital
today from shock and exposure suf-
fered during two days as the pri-
soner of an abnormal 13-year-old
boy.
The girl was kidnapped Sunday
afternoon and held on the second
floor of an abandoned livery stable.
She was unconscious and her body
was black with frostbite when she
was found last night.
While the physicians worked most
of the night trying to save the
child, police fired questions and &C
cusations at stubborn and defiant
George RogalSki, Is, until he final
ly broke down and told the story of
the kidnapping.
The boy was shown TO nave been
held in the juvenile detention home
for five weeks at one time after he
molested a girl older than Dorette.
He had been released after officials
decided he had been sufficiently
impressed of the seriousness of his
offense."
According to the boys story,
which was verified by a brother and
sister of the kidnapped child and
neighbor children, the boy lured
Dorette away from in front of her
grandmother's home by a promise
of "nickels and candy"
He led her to the boarded-up
stable, broke a basement window,
and pushed the child through to
drop several feet to the floor. The
boy scrambled down and carried the
child to the second floor of the
building, where he placed her on a
pile of debris.
While police led a district-wide

hunt, the boy made repeated trips
to the stable to see his captive, but
made no attempts to feed or care
for her. Nor did he modest her.
On Monday and Tuesday he at
tended school as usual. The discov-
cry came after children playing in
front of the stable heard feeble
means They found the child by
crawling through a broken sky
light. 1t was not until the Royal
ski boy came to the stable and Or
dered them away that they report
ed their find to police.
The child's mother is an inmate
at the state hospital at Dunning
and her father, David Zeitlow, is
unemployed. The mother was not
informed of the tragedy.
Police were undecided what they
would do with the accused boy
