NEW HUNT FOR MEEKINS
BOY CAUSED BY LETTER!
Strange Mossng e, Which
Threatened Lawyer's Child,
Results in Extensive Search
Tho anonymous letter leeeivcd by l.uko
llipklns. 2110 South lilst stieet, father ot
missing s-yenr-old Itlrhaid Mei'kliiH, hns
stlned the police to fresh activity. Al
though they hellovc the letter threatening
to kidnap the son of a piomlnent lawyer
Is the work of a "crank," they will never
theless ledouble their energies nnd may
drag MliiRo deck ugaln In an attempt to
clear up the mystery of the disappear
ance. Captain Cninoion, of tho IH'teetlve llu
reuu, will confer with his uslslatits to.
day on the advisability of chugging Mingo
deck. A map inclosed with tho letter
sliowpd n crude sketch of u boy beside
the creek nt a point 1110111111111 ns .vith
street. Whether the wilter inciiut tho
Meeklim ho had been thrown 111 then1,
was bulled tbcie or had stood there tllu
day he dlsappeated Is a iniitter of con
jecture, llut In their deslie to follow
every clue, however elusive, to the end,
the Detective Muieau will search out
every direction tho letter Indicates would
bring them to 11 solution of the boy's
disappearance.
Another line tho police will take today
Is the iiliestlonlng nf the "led-hend boy"
mentioned by the anonymous wilter. ThU
boy, whose name Is known to the police,
disnppeaied two yeais ago fin several
weeks and then mysteriously returned
home without being able to sny wheio
he had been.
The story as suppiessed by the police
at tho time, and tho letter wrltei's knowl
edge of It when the general public was
Ignorant of the whole affair Is le-jo-dcd
as at least an indication that he went
to some tioublc to keep himself Infoimed
of lost-boy cases, If he vs not actually
concerned In them.
Mrs. Mceklni, mother o the boy who
Inspiied the mysterious b tier, believes
today her son is still alive. The letter
wilter coiitiadli'teil himself so many
times In telling what had become of the
child that It was Impossible to say
whether be Intended to convey that the
boy was dead or nllvo. Mir. Meekln's
faith that her boy Is still alive has not
been shaken by any of the anonymous
letters or the failure of the police to llnd
him.
