"Sometimes mpn smallci than Lincoln
have- seemed loath to nppieclatc the sac

distinct shock Unit an woman of stand

mother and the wife. I cannot believe

PSSING BOY'S MOTHER
ASKS TOKEN OF HIM
Mrs. Meekins Implores Writer
of Letter to Give Sign That
Her Son Is Alive
"If the man who kldnnpped in Itlchard
will only give me some sign that he Is
alive," sobbed Mrs. Annie Mecklns,
mother of tho S- car-old boy who dis
appeared from his home, "149 South 61at
ftreet, on November 2V, "I will go to
Mayor Smith or Councils and ask that
the city offer a reward for his return
home In safety."
Mrs. Meekins, broken by tho sufferlnR
ho has undergone since the boy disap
peared, Is distracted with n Rilef which
stems to Rrow moro poignant as time
goes on and no trace of tho hoy Is
found
f "I have nRed live yeais In two months,"
he said today, and those who have
had the opportunity to obseive her durlnR
that time attest the truth of her state
ment. Lines which worry has traced on
her face grow deeper and deeper day by
day,
Mrs. Xreeklns believes tlmt the man
who wrote the letter received last week,
la which he nsseits that he kidnapped
the boy, really has Itlchaid. The police
we not so sure about it, but they nre
undecided In their opinion regarding the
genuineness of the letter.
Mrs. Meekins' appeal today was to tho
hear of the man she believe kidnapped
her eon. She wants him to give her a
sign that Richard Is nllve by sending her
some article of clothinR which she can
Identify as his. Then she will ask that
the city offer a rewaid for the boj's
return,
"I am sure the Mayor won't turn me
oown when he knows all I have suffered,"
the said.
The only solace of the woman now Is
In the comnanlnnshln of her other son.
t s-year-old James Meekins, and Bhe Is tak
ing good care to keep him from harm s
way.
