l
A movement Was started yester-
day by Leo Davis at the luncheon of
the Kiwanis Club toward the erec-
tion of a. building in this City in
which the United States District
Court will be able to hold jury
trials. It was voted to have Presi-
dent Arthur C. \Vheeler appoint a
committee to start working on the
matter at once.
Attorney Davis, in bringing the
matter before the meeting, stated
that recently he had tried to secure
a. jury trial in the United States
District Court, to be held in this
City, but. that Judge Edwin Thomas
stated that the Council Chambers in
which the sessions of the Court
were held were not large enough.
but that if the City could secure the
erection of a Federal building, he
would hold regular sessions of the

walk. This would include criminal
and civil cases. At the present time
most of the cases held here are
equity cases.
Attorney Davis polntedout that it
would mean that thousands of peo-
ple would come into this City during
the course of a. year and that was a.
wonderful opportunity for Nor-walk.
Dir. Davis seemed to be of the opin—
Ion that this could be accomplished
and urged that a. committee be ap-
pointed at once.
Christian Swartz, following the re-
marks of Mr, Davis made a motion
that the President be empowered to
appoint such a committee- who
would work along the lines of Mr.
\Davis,’ plan. The motion was s’ec-
onded and passed. President
Wheeler announced that he would
appoint the committee in the near
future.
If such a. building is secured for
this city. cases which will involve
persons and concern from all over
the country will be tried in this
City. by Judge Edwin Thomas. Such
a. building has long been sought for
this City and this is the first real
step taken to secure it. Local at-
torneys are well pleased with the
action of the Kiwanis Club and
agree with Mr. Davis, that it will be
a wonderful thing for the City it
the building is erected here. ‘
According to the plans as out-
lined by Mr. Davis this building
could include the Post Office of the
City of Norwalk with the Federal
United States District Court in N02- Court rooms on the second floor-u

CHICAGO. May 23.—Kidnaped
and held for a $10,000 ransom, and
murdered when the kidnapers be-
lieved their plans were about to mis-
carry, the nude body of Robert
Franks, 14 year old son of Jacob
Franks_ millionaire Chicago manu-
facturer, was found in a. swamp on
the south side of the city yesterday
with the head crushed'and the body
stripped of all means of identifica-
tion.
Willing to Pay.
At the time the body was found
the parents, unaware of the fate of
their son. were awaiting a. visit from
the kidnapers in order to turn over
the money to them. having follow
the instructions of the abductors to
the letter, even refraining from no-
tifying the police.
Chicago‘ 3 history was under way to-
day with more than 5.000 policemen
and detectives scouring the city in
the search for the Slayers. Despite
the meagre clues, it was reported
that arrests were imminent.
Young Franks was last seen alive
Wednesday afternoon about 3: 30
o'clock when he left several com-
panions after umpiring a. ball game
at the Harvard school. a private in—
stitution in an exclusive South Side
residential district where he was a.
student. He told companions that be
was going home and that is the last
time he was seen alive by those who
lmew him.
A reward of $10, 000 was offered
last night for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of the boy’s
Slayers. Of this amount. 85. 000 was
offered by the boy’s father and a
similar amount by a local news-
paper. ,
Parents Alarmed.
The parents, alarmed over failure
of Robert to arrive home, communi-
cated with the school authorities
and an unsuccessful search was

One of the greatest man hunts in '
started but at 10: 30 o’clock Wednes—
day” evening ,tlm first. inkling of the
boy's fate reached them.
This came in the form of a. tele-
pm call to the Franks home from
a man who said his name was John-
, son.
“Your boy has been kldnaped,"
the man told Franks without hesita—
tion. “He is here with me and is all
right. I will call you later and let
you know what you must do."
Before he could be questioned the
receiver clicked. At 8:30 o'clock yes-
terday morning, Mr. Franks receiv-
ed a. special delivery letter from the
kidnapers which had been mailed in
the downtown section at midnight.
“Your boy is safe," the letter said.
"and you need not worry but if you
let the police know. we will kill him.
If you have already informed the
police, do not go any further.
“tV‘e Want 310, 00 ransom.
"We will telephone you today at
1 o clock. Then we will give you all
necessary information as to how you
are to put the money in our posses~
sion.‘
The body with two stab wounds in
the head. was found bye. track
walker who notified police. It was
later identified by the boy's.uncle,
Robert Gresham. All clothing and
marks of identification had been re~
moved from the body with the ex-
ception of the glasses, which were
in place.
Seven hours after the body had
been found an attempt was made to
collect the demanded ransom. A
taxicab. was sent to the Franks home,
the driver insisting that he had no
instructions except to call for Mr.
Frabks, who was to direct him where
to go. Charles Robinson, driver of
the cab, who told detectives last
night the person ordering the taxi-
cab represented himself to be Franks
was allowed to go after questioning.
Duobt that the slaying was the
work of adult kidnapcrs was ex-
pressed last night by Mike Hughes,
chief of detectives.
“It looks more like the work of
boys to me," he said. The theory
that the lad was seized through a.
motive baser than kldnxplng'olso is
held.
