Mystery surrounds kidnapping theory in Robert Franks case
Chicago May 23 The coroner’s chemist said there was no evidence of a degen erate attack in the death of 10 year old Robert Franks heir to a millionaire. Poison might explain external signs. Dr McNally could not determine the cause. Coroner Wolff accepted Dr Panelys theory, while McNally awaited full chemical results. Franks, after umpiring a game, vanished and was found dead under a culvert, nude and bruised. A ransom call and a warning not to trace calls followed, with a note demanding 10000 dollars. Police say the boy was enticed away by someone he knew.
