.“BACK to: NATURE”
^harles Mattson was found today in
jth^ snow-crusted brushlands near
j Everett, 50 miles from the home from
which the lO-year.old boy
ducted two weeks ago. . -
"I feared it,” said Dr. W. 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-

* ’’— _
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.

this would happen,” he said.
The fears of Dr, Mattson, promi
nent Tacolna „ physician, were ex-1
pressed previously last Saturday*
night 'in a plea to the kidnaper forj
"new proof that my son is alive and]
well.”-' *
The appeal was the sixth of a se
ries published in personal columns
of a Seattle newspaper in apparently
vain attempts by Dr. Mattson to con-'
tact the abductor, who left a note de
manding $28,000 Hhe night he broke
into the Mattson residence and seized
Charles. * _
It qpuld not be learned immediately
whether Mrs. Mattson, previously re
ported 'bearing up bravely through
the tragedy, had been infomed of
the discovery.
With her son, William, 16, and her
daughter, Muriel, 14, both of whom]
witnessed the kidnaping, she has re-;
mainod-largely in seel usioaualace the
abduction, December 27. '
The child victim bore evidence of
haying suffered a ^ terrible beating.
Several front teeth had been knocked
opt and there appeared to be a large
hole dn the head. .The exact cause of
death, however, could not be deter-
jmined immediately,, ^ ,
Officers were puzzled by the pres
ence ofa-.-fine silt on the boys hands
-and face. .====-
Footprints of one person led from
the roadway to the spot where the
body ley in the nxiow. The arqa is'
heavily covered with brush and popu-'
lated by chicken rahehers.
Charles Morrow, whose son nmde
the discovery, sadd he believed the
body was brought there about 9
o’clock last night. Dogs of several
residents nearby started barking then,
he said.
His own bulldog fought to be let
out.
j Tracks indicated an automobile
! brought the body to about 150 feet
from where the child was found.
The body was found shortly before
noon, frozen to the snow. Hands and
face-were covered withn what ap
peared to be riVer silt, as though the
body had first b^n placed in water
along the edge of a stream or mud-
flat
