Mysterious Evanston Case of Rogers and Ely
An Evanston pair, fourteen year old Frank Ely Rogers and Miss Florence Ely, vanished July with only hopeful leads and a citywide search. Reports describe Ely as a 40 year old music teacher of Duncan Avenue with striking dark eyes, and Rogers as a tall boy of 14 with left handed skill and drawing talent. Police traced possible sightings in Chicago and Waukegan while a clothing bundle was found Dec 29 under a Milwaukee line station. Families appeal for tips, offering a large reward and sending circular letters to widen the search.
