All that day he waited for the return of the baby, who was stolen two weeks ago yesterday. Mr. Coughlin. it was said today at Norristown. had 510.000 of his own money as a ransom for his child. Friends had pledged a total of $00,000 and ready cash was kept in a Norristown bank to meet a demand from the abductor. Is Not a Wealth)' Man The father, it is said, used $2000 of borrowed money to meet the demand. Friends of the Coughlins any the baby's father is not a wealthj man. The Coughlins' towu house in Nor ristown is said to be owned by the missing baby's grandfather. The coun try home on the Sandy Hill road, it is said, Is owned by Mrs. Coughlin, mother of the abducted child. Major I.arzclere, Coughlln's attor ney, commenting on the ransom which. It Is now believed, was obtained by a windier, said he had not advised Mr. Coughlin to pay the ransom. He said he Informed the father he would aid him In every way possible, hut that Mr. Coushlin himself must make the deci sion on the payment. The baby's father. Maior I.arzclere continued, was influenced by the case of Charlie Ross, of Germnntown. and of the Whitla baby, stolen several years ago from Sharon, l'a In the famous Ross case the ransom was never paid and the child was never found. In the Whitla case the money demanded was paid to the abductor and the child was returned. Officials searching for ' Tin- Crank" who hoaxed the Coughlins into paying a ransom were augmented today by postoffiee inspectors. The ransom de mand was made in letters. Police, state troopers and private de tectives also are running out clues to the identity of "The Crank." Six Letters Received "Monday morning following the re ceipt of the sixth and last letter from Ilhe Crank. said Mr. Coughlin todny. "we decided that we would deal with him. His final letter said positively that he would not furnish the proofs for which we had asked. lie said that he was throuch with furnishing informa tion and that unless mo accepted his terms, we would hear no more from him, "When it reached that point we felt that we could never forgive ourselves If we let the chance to get our baby- back slip b, so we put the notice in the newspapers that we were ready to i deal with the kidnapers, 'mat state ment was published in the afternoon papers on Monday. "At 10:30 o'clock that nlzht he called me on the telephone and iden tified himself as "The Crank " It was the same voice which had called me n few nights before.
