HP CENTURY OLO
KIDNAPPING CISE
FILLY SOLVED
NATIONWIDE SEARCH FOR BOY
STOLEN FROM HOWE IN 1874
BELIEVED LOCATED
XEW YORK. June 7. (JP)—The New
York World said Monday that a mys
tery of more than a half century old
has been solved in the finding of
Charley Ross, who was kidnapped
from his home in a Philadelphia sub
urb in 1S74.
It was said Mrs. Pierre Starr, whose
mother was a first cousin to Charley’s
mother brought to New York a man
believed to be Charley. He is mar
ried and has six children and is 56
years of age. The Ross case has been
one of the outstanding mysteries in
American history. When the child dis
appeared the wealthy father began a
search which was strenuously prose
cuted until his death in 1S97. He spent
$60,000 in an effort to find the man
who was a curley haired lad of f-'nr
when he disappeared. After his dis
appearance the father received a de
mand for a $20,000 ransom. The child
never appeared but a nationw:de
search followed.
Hundreds of Charley Rosses were
produced everywhere but none was
the right one. Suspicion fell on two
river thieves and peddlers, William H.
Mosher and Joseph Douglas, but when
they were finally caught in a robbery
they died of gunshot wound before
they revealed anything.
Walter Ross, a brother to Charley,
denied Mrs. Starr was a relative of the
Ross family.
