Denver, N.C., April 26 (AP)—Julius Coleman Dellinger, of this place, who believes he is the long lost Charlie Ross, expects to go to Philadelphia this week to meet with members of the Ross family, he told the Associated Press today.
Dellinger said that an automobile would be sent here this week to carry him to Philadelphia, but said he was not at liberty to disclose the names of those summoning him there. He said he would go from Philadelphia to New York and expressed confidence that he would be able to establish his identity as Ross.
“I can only say that the man who is to carry me to Philadelphia is now in Greensboro, and I expect to leave during the week. The wife of this man is related to Ross.”
Mr. Dellinger said that he was working on many ends of the case and believed he was near “proving” his claim.
He would not say how long he expected to be in Philadelphia or New York but added that while he was wanted right ow, he was working on a job here that he had to complete before leaving.
Uses Birthmarks to Substantiate His Claim
Charlotte, April 26 (AP)—The Charlotte News says today that Julius Coleman Dellinger of Denver, N.C., has shown relatives of Charlie Ross “birth marks” upon his body that tally with those of the wealthy child who disappeared more than 50 years ago, and for whom an international search has been waged. Although he possesses other “evidence” upon which he bases the believe that he is Charlie Ross, The News says it is these two marks upon which he largely relies to establish his identity.
The paper adds that it has learned that three of Ross’ living relatives have told him they were convinced he is their kinsman. He is quoted as refusing to say where the “birth marks” are.
Dellinger, the story says, has been informed by a national detective agency investigating the case that indications are that his claim can be sustained.
