i Bereaved Mother
: Offers Reward
f For Son's Slayer
Cleveland IP Eleven years
ago, the 14-year-old son of Mrs.
', Martha Schostak went berry-
picking with another youth, and
'. was never seen alive again. His
I body was found six days after
wards in Cleveland park with a
bullet in the head.
For 11 years, Mrs. Schostak has
waited while all polic? clues to the
killing fizzled out. Unable after
all that time to sit by idly, she
dug inio slim savings and offered
8500 to any person who could
produce information leading to
v the arrest and conviction of the
slaver of her son.
"Anything," the distraught
mother cried. "Anything would
be better than this not know
- Ing."
It seemed that everybody in the
neighborhood saw or talked to
Stanley that hot Aug. 12, 19.37,
when he went out with the other
boy, who never was identified.
Two scoutmasters found Stan
ley's body-six days later in a
swampy part of the park, pains
takingly wrapped with cat-tails.
Coroner S. it. Gerber said a
bullet had slammed through the
back of Stanley's head and come
out over his right ear. "He was
murdered," Gerber reported.
: But police never have been able
to proceed from there. A file of
25 pages on the unsolved case
. rests in headquarters.
There were all kinds of theo
ries: an irate farmer shot him
for picking berries on his prop
erty; he was accidentally shot by
a stray bullet; he was killed by
xthe mystery youth; he peeped at
"some spooners and was killed, and
o4hrs.
- "The only reason I didn't offer
this reward long ago," Mrs.
Schostak said, "was that' I didn't
. have the money. Now we have
our home paid for, all our chll-
dien but one are married, and I
-have saved a few hundred dol
Jar to find out what hapened
a Stanley."
