Raid,
On the. same day the freshman dis- '
appeared a man jumped from the Sooth '
street bridge into the Sehinlklll river, i
Police, grappling in (he river have not,
yet found the suicide's lindy. I
Wanted to Kurn IJlng
Although police beliexe the nilsili
student to 1ium been tlie Hum who
leaped from the bridge, the father does
not shnre their belief. The joting man,
although welt Minnlicd with funds, was
obsessed with the desire to earn his own
living, according to Mr. Jenkins.
There are three links in the police
theory of suicide. The leiui into the
river occurred sub-eipient 'o the hour
when the Wharton Sctiool freshman
was last seen. A green cap found float
ing on the river after the leap has beeu
found similar in size, shape and color
to oue worn by the missing youth. A
negro, the only witness of the suicide
shown a photograph of the
said he was the same man.
student,
Rut the father, who is prcmri!i! to
spend a large sum to find his boy.
brushed the police evidence aside. Sev
eral students could not agree that the
younger Jenkins wore a cap similar to
the one found in the river. Frequent
letttrs written by the son to the father
were all of chi erful tone. The nnparent
lack of motive is another point buoying
up the parent's hopes.
Class Standing llijli
The Wharton School student had no
financial troubles, the father pointed
out. His class standing was excellent.
Fellow students scoff at the idea that
their issmate was entangled with a
girl. They said lie was "skirt-shy."
and "Inclined to run at the sight of a
girl."
.Associated with Mr. Jenkins in the
search is I K. Moore, manager and
treasurer of a manufacturing concern
at Ellwood I'ity near Pittsburgh, with
whom the missing youth's futlier has
business relations.
Mr. Jenkins, notified last Monday
of his son's disappearance, reached this
city lute yesterday afternoon.
