Lost Infant Discovered
Under House

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 10
G.N.sO.-Found alive and un-
harmed beneath house within a
block of her home, 2-year-old
Yvonne Lee, who had been missing
for 35 hours, presented a perplex-
ing problem to Phoenix police to-
day. The child disappeared early
Tuesday, and after a several-hour
search had proved fruitless, a kid
naping was feared.
Late last night, C. A. Williams
reported to police that he heard
strange sounds coming from be-
meath his house. Investigation re-
vealed the child crouched in a
small hole. Police were puzzled
because they had searched in the
vicinity yesterday with no results.

DOCTOR SLAIN
IN REVENGE FOR
DEATH OF Wife
Ex-ConviCt Says Mordoff
Killed His Sister

CHICAGO Jan. 13 G.N.S)
Hatred and a Smouldering convic-
tion that his sister had been slain
was given today by a brother-in-
law of DR.. Gordon E. Mordoff as
his reason for fatally shooting the
prominent suburban physician.
The death of Mrs. Mordoff in
1888 evoked a sensational custody
fight over the three-year-old
Sonny Boy" she had reared as
her son.
1t was determined she had
adopted the child and passed it
off as her own to satisfy her hus-
bands desire for another boy. The
couple already had two children,
a grown son and daughter.
BROTHER SEIZED
John Philip Quinn, an ex-con-
vict and brother of the late Mrs.
Mordoff, was seized a few hours
after the doctor had been shot to
death in his office and admitted
the crime, according to police.
Quinn said he had believed
through the years that the doctor
had slain his wife when he dis
covered her deception.
A small. quiet man Of SO, Quinn
went to DR.. Mordoff'S office late
yesterday afternoon and fired two
shots at his victim. DR.. Mordoff
staggered into the office of an
other doctor in the building, fol-
lowed by Quinn.
FIRES TWICE MORE
There he fired two more shots
one of them piercing DR.. Nor
doff's chest and shrinking the alb
domen of DR.. Floyd L. McGrath
who was supporting the wounded
man. The bullet was nearly spent
however, and inflicted no wound.
MY God. man." cried DR..
McGrath, you've killed one
man, do you want to kill an
other?"
No, I just wanted him."
Quinn replied. IF he's dead,
I'm satisfied" and walked
slowly from the building.

LEWIS WAITS

Relief Chief Indicates
He'll Ignore Demand

Demands by Relief Investigator
Burdette G. Lewis for an apology
remained unanswered today by
Frederick w. McReynolds. chair
man of the Board of Public Wei
fare, who indicated none would
be forthcoming.
Lewis sought the apology yester-
day after McReynolds stated it
was his hope the apparent ami
mus" in the critical study which
Lewis prepared on relief admins
tration here was not attributable
to the boards failure to appoint
Lewis to a job on the local penal
staff some years ago.
LEWIS "CAN TAKE 1T"
The investigator asserted:
IT never did make any appli-
cation for any position Of this
kind. If they have any applica-
ton of mine for a position, they
manufactured it.
Mr.. Reynolds owes my staff
IN apology. I don't need one.
I can take it. But when he at
tempts to discredit me and my
report he is attacking my staff.
It's outrageous. We leaned over
backward to stick to the facts"
The board chairman ignored the
Lewis demand and observed:
''The record speaks for itself"
CORRESPONDENCE CITED
McReynolds was referring to
correspondence between Lewis
and the board in 1894. In one
letter Lewis wrote the board:
In answer to your reply, I
am sending an analytical state
ment Of some of the high spots
of my experience which was
prepared by my secretary in the
South.
You might find this of some
use in connection with our dis
cussion. I also enclose a copy
