W. Matt son, the boy’s father, as he sped to ward the spot where a, youthful hunter stumbled upon the body. Frozen stiff, the body of the boy for whom $28,000 ransom had been demanded, lay a half mile west of the Pacific high-way, six miles south of Everett. Identification was made positive by Paul Sceva, close friend of the Mattson family. He had been mentioned as a possible intermediary. , No longer held/back by fear ,of blocking the bizarre ransom negotia tions which Dr. Mab^n had pur^ sued, partly through "newspaper ads, the full force of “G-«nen” was un.- leashed ^by the finding of the body, its identification made difficult by the bloody beating of the kidnaper. When first told the bruised little body had been found by Gordon Morrow, 19, a hunter. Dr. Matt§on re- ,1 morning visit. . * ’’— _ His son, William, accoi|ipanied the doctor and was there #hen reports arrived. A few minutes later, how- waa ■ab-j.eyer, he was sent home alone in the family coupe. Coroner Stowell Challacoimbe, of Everett, announced he was unable to tell immediately how long the l>oy had been dead, due to the condi tion of the body, frozen in near zero! temperatures last night. “/ With JED PROUTY.
