Youth Taken to Goshen Now Identified as New York Boy
Port Jervis December 13 The youth in police custody and later sent to Orange Farm by Commissioner Bonnell after relatives proved unavailable has been identified as William Reeves of 58 West 72nd Street New York City. Reeves was found at the Erie restaurant and brought to police headquarters by Al J Gray. He had used the name John Ward of 42nd Street and Firer Avenue in New York. Bonnell arranged for his removal to the county poor house. A likeness of Reeves appeared in the New York World which prompted officials to contact the World and confirm Reeves’s identity and relatives who would come to Goshen. The World published a family appeal from Reeves’s mother Mrs Carrie Reeves. The missing youth is 18, about 5'6" with dark brown hair, blue eyes, a scar on his left forefinger, and a missing front tooth. He wore a dark blue suit, grey cap, black shoes, and carried an ingersoll watch with a gold chain.
