No Clue For Marvin Fruitless Search For Lost Baby In Delaware
After more than thirty air hours of searching by 100 or more farmers and state officers, the efforts to locate Hormer Marvin, the year old son of Dr. H N Marvin who moved to Dover from Sioux City, have failed. His father believes the child was kidnapped though no motive is known. The search extended over woods, ditches, bay shore and hay stacks. A late discovery of broken cedar branches near a ditch suggests a boat voyage toward the bay. Two well dressed men on the Marvin farm last Friday prompted fear the kidnapping was planned by outsiders.
