Robert Thompson was only three years old when his father took him from the home of his mother here in 1912, a short time after his parents were divorced, and cus- tody of their son given to the mother. He was the object of a nation- wide search at the time, but no trace of the child or his father ever was found. The mystery was broken last night when Springfield police re- ceived a telephone call from a man who identified himself as Rob- ert Wilson Pitman, 45, of Japonica Land, Woodrum Park, Charleston W. Va. “Pitman” told police that hist father whom he had known as “Wilson Ambrose 'Pitnian’” died re- cently, and that he learned of his true name and past history from newspaper clippings and other pa- pers he found in his father’s ef- fects. The West Virginia man reported that his father assumed the name of Pitman right after the abduc- tion, ard that until his father died, he thought that was his real name. He telephoned police to ask them if his mother, Mrs, Rose Ethel Mason Thompson still was living. Police located an aunt, Mrs. Ruth Rawson, who said that the kid- naped boy’s mother, now Mrs. Rose Tracy, of Jericho Center, Vt., is in a hospital at Burlington, Vt., following an operation. Police said the West Virginia man said he will come here and go to Burlington to see the mother he never knew. He is married and the father of two children, police said.
