MISSING Boys
BODY FOUND

CHICAGO, April 30. U.P) - The
body of Richard Max Perrot, four
year-old mute who disappeared
from his home April 4, was found
today in the Chicago river.
It was impossible to determine
whether the boy fell to his death
accidentally or whether he was
slain by a kidnaper.
The boy had been playing a short
distance from the home Of his
father Max Perrot on the afternoon
Of his Disappearance and neighbors
reported seeing him in the company
of "a tall thin man.
An escaped inmate Of the hospit-
al for the insane at Elgin was ques-
toned but released.
Evidence that the boy had been
kidnapped was believed found when
a ransom note asking for $3.50 was
received. Investigation, however,
revealed the note was written by
Leo Magnus, l7-year-old high
school youth who confessed writing
the ransom demand but convinced
police he never had seen the miss
ing boy.
