Margaret Mackney .of
Of Fort Point St.,
Wrote She Was Go-

KIDNAPPED?
.» Foster Father Hu ies
Here to Aid in 'he
Search f o r ‘Child,
' Left With Mother
The police of this city and Boston
are searching for Margaret Mack—
ney. aged 13 yours. 'of 74 Fort
Point street. who disappeared from
her home yesterday morning.
The girl left a note for her moth-
er'sayinl; that she was going to
Boston to live with two old people.
When she left home she wore a
red coat. She has brown hair.
which is bobbed and wore a cran~
ury colored hat.
Margaret is the daughter of Mrs.
” Charles A. Bell and she and her
mother came here several weeks
Iago from Boston to visit friends.
Mrs. Bell's husband: remained in
Boston at their home. 617 Tremont
Street. ‘ .
When tho‘chlld disappeared Mrs.
Bell wired to her husband who hur-
ried here and began an investiga—
tion which led him to believe the
child had been kidnapped for some
reason.
"When Margaret. who is my step
child left." said Mr. Bell. "she car.
ried a huge amount of clothes with
her. She certainly could not have
done this alone. Some one assisted
her whether by force we have not
Albeen able to determine. It is true
Tulle was scolded a couple a days ago
but she has been scolded before by
her mother and she. never showed
any inélination to leave.
“We have been told by a woman
that Margaret had been talking of
’leaving several days ago but we be-
lieve she has been prevailed upon to
,, leave. Certainly she would not have
attempted to go to Boston as .heri
note declared. And we do not be.
lieve she wrote the note."
The local police are making an
Investigation and Mr. Bell said to-
day that he intended to put private
detectives on the case.
“She's been kidnapped. I have
no doubt of that." declared Mr. Bell.
