Search is Made for a Child Lost in Detroit.
Detroit, Sept. 8. (U.P.)—A day-long search of a ten-mile area around Clark Park where Harry Brown, Jr., 20 months, disappeared Saturday, failed to reveal a clue tonight as to whether the child was kidnapped or killed.
Police and 300 boy scouts said they found no trace of a grave. A search began for a 'tall blonde woman' seen near the carriage from which the child was taken. Etta Huston, 9, said she had seen two women nearby when Charles Brown, 9, and Edward, 7, left their little brother to get ice cream.
A reward of $200 was offered by the Detroit board of county auditors for information leading to the baby's recovery.
