Johnny Donohue, who IL years old and
lives at 1855 Eleventh avenue, did not return
home last Monday night from play,
The New York Central freight tracks run
along the avenue In front, OF his house. He
had been In a game Of hide and seek around
empty cans, as was his custom with other
boys among them eight-year-old Samuel
Hannigan, who lives not far away at 223
West Sixtieth street. Johnny's mother,
Mrs. Edith Donohue. hunted up young
HRnniRan, but he said he didn't know any
thing about Johnny. When Thursday came
and no Johnny, Mrs, Donohue in her dis
traction thought Of the police and hurried
down TO Headquarte n. Detective Sergeant
William A. Finn Of the new Lost Persons
Bureau, went at once TO Johnny's school
teacher, talked with his half crazed mother
and then hunted up his playmates.
Fred Sennemeyer, an eleven-year-old
boy, who lives In the same house
with the Donohues, told the detective
that be saw Hannigan push Johnny into
an empty freight car on the night Of the
10th. The car was standing on the tracks
at Eleventh avenue and Fifty-third street.
The train, he said, started at once, with
Donohue aboard. He said that after the
car got started he saw Donohue open the
door and then close it.
Finn hunted up Hannigan again and the
boy denied absolutely all knowledge Of the
affair or even that he had been playing with
the Donohue boy. He was taken TO Mrs.
Donohue and repeated his denial. Then he
was confronted with Sennemeyer and still
denied the story.
Finn at last took him down 10 Police
Headquarters, and there he finally admitted
that he had been playing tag with the Dono-
hue boy. He said they were both in the car
when It started, but that he jumped out,
leaving Donohue behind. This was nearly
10 O'Clock at night.
What car that was. OF what has become
Of It, the police do not know. It may have
been looked up, they fear. without Dono-
hue's presence being discovered, and may
have started on its way across the CONT
nent with the boy a prisoner without food OF
water. The little follow, they fear, might
not have enough strength 10 make himself
heard by anybody outside, or he may
have jumped out somewhere outside
the city and been killed. The best they
can hope for Is that he was rescued
somewhere and New York has not yet been
notified. II he has been locked In a car
all this time it is hardly possible he il alive.
The railroad people have been asked to see
n they can run down the car,
Young HanniRan, a diminutive and
picturesquely dirty little fellow, seems
not 10 realize what bis silence about his
playmate mAy cost.
"Why didn't you tell about Johnny's
being in the freight car at firstH' he was
asked.
Il don't know he piped.
His idea evidently was that IL he told there
was the possibility Of trouble for him.
The police turned him over to the Gerry
society in case they need him later.
