Pompton Police Chief Here
Denies Report That Torrens
Child is Near Lake
Persistent rumors that Margaret
Eloise Torrens, the nine-months-old
girl who was kidnaped from the
home of her millionaire grandfather.
James Simpson, at Pompton Lakes,
last Thursday, was seen at Pompton
Lakes recently were emphatically dev
nled this morning by Chief of Police
Bert Miller, of the Pompton Lakes
department, who is here to continue
his search for the missing child.
The rumor, current in Pompton
Lakes yesterday, was brought about,
it is said, by the appearance of a big
touring car about 3 o’clock yesterday
afternoon on a back road leading to
the Simpson cottage on the north
ern section of the lake. A man re
sembling the missing Torrens drove
the machine. Whether or not the
cAr also carried the child could not
be learned.
The Paterson police, who are co
operating with the Pompton Lakes
authorities in the search for the
child, said they knew nothing of the
child's return.
It has been learned that the first
telephone call believed to have been
Trade by the child’s father, came
from Asbury Park at one o’clock
Sunday morning. The second and
last call received by Mrs. Torrens’
sister. Miss Marcia Simpson, was
made from the White Cross phar
macy on State street, this city, be
tween one and two o’clock on the
same day.
From the lapse of time between
the two calls the authorities are of
the beliew Torrens possibly reached
Asbury Park; decided that he was
too liable to arrest there, and de
termined to return* to Paterson,
stopping here where he telephoned
his wife and then drove on to Pat
erson. It was opinion of police that
Torrens turned his car in at the
garage where it was found last Sat
urday and left the child In an out
lying borough in the care of a
nurse.
Chief Miller is carrying on his
search here In conjunction with
Captain Long, chief of the local de
tectives.
