Overseer Frank J. Manson of Red Bank threatens to sever ties with the Monmouth County Branch Charities Aid Association if its actions persist. Ida and Sarah Wolcott, aged fifteen and sixteen, remain jailed in Freehold after a Dur ing investigation that implicates Red Bank men. Manson sought release by placing the girls with two Red Bank families, but says officials told him proper steps are underway and he may not travel to Freehold. The sisters appeal to return home to Red Bank to help their mother, who is ill, while the family rests under the care of the grandmother and hospital staff.
