THE TRAGEDY OF THE MATTSON CASE

Now that the little Madison boy from Tacoma has been found murdered there will be plenty of second guesses on how his abductors might have certain things had been done That follows with every event of such importance
 Law enforcement agencies probably will contend that had they been allowed freedom to go ahead as they desired the kidnaper would have been brought to justice by this time But they used discretion at the request of the family, whose main ard only ob- jective during the the return of their child They naturally cared for nothing else in such situa- tion. It is safe to say that every normal family in the land would have done exactly the same thing Paying ransom meant nothing. Return of the child meant everything. It was that parental urge which prompted them to ask the authorities call off the quest at various times when it appeared that had been made with the kidnaper and possibility of getting their boy loomed. Fear of the law they knew, would frighten away the thief Thus they had cooperation and it in vain, leading the general assumption that the abductor did become fright ened the posse moved close to his heels and killed the boy in the desperate hope that he would escape capture travelling without the lad
 The Tacoma crime is in many respects duplicate of the Lindbergh Kidnapping In that case. too the officers withdrew request of the frantic fam lv only in the end to lose their child and in that case the ransom money as well whereby in the more recen case no money is vel FroWn 10 have beaa pad
 There is always the possibility in such c9ees ha if the law enforcement agencies were noHfcd 'n.no diately and threw their full forces mo acIcn th, criminals would come to early cap ure Blt tho human element enters n too strong, is the lift of the kdnsped victim frs apprehension of Ea, abductcr second. The second guessers VIII say tha delay in the search while effort was beng made tc trade the ooys return for money accomplished nothing They will be correct in this instance and. too true the majority of evidence will be their side in pre- vous
 But have they any loved child at home who nigh, be snatched frocl their and taken out ana murdered?
