at Merlon, near Philadelphia, said
he was not interested In the latest
"wild rumors." "I cannot believe
anything" but that my aon was killed
after he was kidnaped," he said.

that if the circumstances warrant
td he would go to the place where
the New Jersey state police say the
child is under guard and look at
him.
Blakely Coughlln was kidnaped
June 8, 1920. when thirteen months
old. He was taken from his crib
oil the second floor of his parents'
home and carried down a ladder that
had been placed against the house.
