from his Manhattan home for nine
days, was found today, police said,

lively identified the body as that Of
the child who on Thursday, June 6,
disappeared while playing with his
friends.
In one pants pocket was stuffed
the white rubber ball which police
believe the lad was chasing when

RAY SUSPENDS
TWO DEPUTIES
Harry Cook and Gene Ryan
Relieved From Duties
by Sheriff.

Suspension of two deputy serifts
was ordered today by Sheriff Otto
Ray.
The deputies are Harry Cook and
Gene Ryan, former state policeman
The men we're retired from their
duties by the sheriff for different
ing actions of both men and said
causes. Sheriff Ray is investigat-
their. jobs may depend on the verac-
ity of the charges.
Nature of the charges against
Cook were withheld temporarily by
Sheriff Ray.
I'm investigating Cook and il
he's innocent I don't want to do
anything to hurt him. 1t is a case
of one mans word against another,
the sheriff said.
THE suspension of Ryan was
caused by his failure to tell the truth
and for violation of jail rules,
Sheriff Ray said. I'm going to
know everything that happens
around here and any man that
doesn't tell me the truth is going to
be suspended. Ryan didn't report
for duty one day and didn't notify
me. The next day he reported at 8
a. m. instead of a. m. He had been
drinking when he reported for duty, u

miserable room in the con-
demned American Hotel.
He said she exclaimed: You don't
look sick to me-" and then left. Now
she is a fugitive from a warrant
ordering her arrest for failing to
provide for her father. The war;

Human kindness has provided, in
a way, for Mr.. Thomas in the last
19 weeks of pain and complete in

Hallard L. Payne, who ran the
hotel that the state condemned,
cared for him, fed him and put

the books.
Ever since that night 10 weeks
ago when Mr.. Payne heard Mr..
Thomas in distress in his room and
went in to find him in the throeS
of stroke of apoplexy, Mr.. Payne
has taken care of the old man.
Some one had to. He couldn't

the old man during his illness.
Now Four Weeks in Arrears.
He paid Mr.. Payne says, $72 and
now is something like four or five
weeks in arrears. So there was
nothing to do, Mayor Webb says, but
for him to issue a warrant charging
Mrs. Karrer with neglect, because
her father had become a public
charge. Police Chief Earl Trees
made the complaint.
DR.. Sam Kennedy, Mr. Thomas
physician, says his patient has
taken to his bed for the last time"
But if the old man lives until Mon

Workmen are due Monday to tear
down the hotel. Already the lobby
is dismantled, and most of the furni-

demolished it will be, starting day
after tomorrow.
Now Completely Impoverished
But Mr.. Thomas has no place to
be taken to. He has no money to
hire room and board with. He has
no clothes. He has nothing but
debts. If he could find place to
move to, they would have to wrap
him in a blanket and carry him.
Once wealthy enough to give Mr..
and Mrs. Karrer a 40-acre tract Of
land as a gift, Mr.. Thomas today is
completely impoverished.
Frequently he says, as he tries to
comprehend his own risiIul circum-
stances:
I'm in very bad shape. Things
are very bad"
Monday, George Thomas faces
another climax in his ife-perhaps
the last.
He also is fugitive fugitive
