FINDS SON AFTER A LONG SEARCH
Albion, Oct 21 – After
searching for his 22-months-old son for sixteen months, in which time newspapers
printed the child’s picture, detectives scoured the country and the ministry was
appealed to for aid, Frank G. Cook of New York and the
child met Monday night in Supreme court here. The mother, with her sister and
the child, has been living at No. 10 Beaver Street in this village since last
July, under assumed names. Used Fictitious Names

spoke of taking the child to the country in July, 1914, and that when he
returned home from Keansburg he found the house stripped of its furnishings and
his wife and child missing. He claims to have received a curt note later from
Mrs. Cook, from Himrods, N.Y.
