Whole Town’s Ordeal
All They Want Is Mary Back
(Editors: Fifteen days have
passed since Mary K. Mount,
» 10, vanished from the wealthy
suburb of New Canaan, Conn.
There have been no clues, no
ransom demands. Police ane
, baffled, the community dis
traught.
The following dispatch de
scribes the mood of the town,
the frustration of the police, the
* anguish of the family).

NEW CANAAN, Conn. <UPI)
v —Police Chief Henry E. Keller,
who cannot sleep since a little
girl was abducted 15 days ago,
slowly drives his blue Chevrolet
, in the predawn darkness
through the winding, tree
shaded streets of this wealthy
community.
In his hand is a walkie talkie
* radio. His tired eyes peer
intently for something—any
thing—he may have overlooked
since Mary K. Mount, 10,
’ disappeared May 27.

Brook Drive. Lights shine in
the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Joseph F. Mount. The newly
built, fashionable ranch cost an
estimated SBO,OOO.
It is 4 a.m., but the house is
well-lighted. Keller knows.
’’They live by the telephone,”
a friend of the Mount family
said.
Mary K. Mount's disappea
rance saddened New Canaan
and produced a sign that
seemed eloquent in its simplici
ty. It said “Pray for Mary
Mount.”
This is the kind of New
England town where the desk
man in the police station at
Town Hall (built in 1908,
expanded in 1938 > logs com
plaints like the theft of a
bicycle or a report of a
runaway teen-ager.
They said nothing ever
happens here in New Canaan.
They said that before Mary
Mount was last seen in Kiwanis
Park playing at the foot of a
sandpile.
Mary and her brother Billy,
12, were playing there that
Tuesday when it all began.
Billy was in a hurry and left
the park before his sister
because he had a meeting of
Boy Scout Troop 70 at St.
Mark's Church. It was about
5:30 p.m. and Mrs. Gloria
Cogswell looked from her home
on the park grounds and saw
Mary.
Bhe walked over and chatted
with the child, but left quickly
because she expected her
7
policeman husband home for
dinner. When Mrs. Cogswell
looked again past a little cinder
block Girl Scout cabin which
carries the words “Merry Bee
Cabin,” she saw a white car
with a white man in it. Mrs.
Cogswell paid no more atten
tion.
Then at 8:30 p.m., she had a
caller, Dr. Joseph F. Mount, a
computer specialist in charge
of five centers for International
Business Machines (IBM).
Exhibit* Calm
Mount, in the calm professor
ial manner he has exhibited
throughout the ordeal, asked
Mrs. Gogswell if she had seen
Mary. It was then she recalled
the white man in the white car.
“I feel awful,” she said later.
That is the extent of the clues
to Mary's disappearance. There
have been no ransom demands.
Eighteen policemen, six from
the local department, eight FBI
agents and four Connecticut
state troopers are assigned full
time to the case.
Rewards of $25,000 have been
posted, $15,000 by friends of the
family and SIO,OOO by William
Loeb, publisher of the Connecti
cut Sunday Herald.
During the day neighbors can
be seen driving up to the Mount
home, their arms laden with
baked goods or a casserole. Dr.
Mount, and his three boys—
Billy, Joseph and David—and
his wife Llcyt try valiantly to
bear up under the anguish.
"All they want is Mary
back,” a friend said.
