CHILD WAS srRANeLEp
Kingston Boy Was Murdered by
kidnapper.

Kingston. n. Y. Aug. 25.-The kid
napper who stole little four-year-old
Peter Fabian strangled him to death
under the clutch of powerful fingers,
according to Coroner Benton today,
and left his mutilated body in an
outbullding of the Fabian home. The
wanton murder has caused the most
intense excitement in this vicinity.
Frank Fabian, father OF the boy,
believes that the kidnapper feared
capture and in revenge killed the
child.
Peter was stolen several days ago
and while the father does not admit
1t possibly through terror of still
greater vengeance, II is commonly
believed here that demands for ran
som money were made on him.
The father visited an Italian for
tune teller in New York and was as.
sured that the boy would be found
soon. He joyously circulated this
hopeful news among his neighbors
and the police believe the result to
be the finding Of the child's dead
body. The kidnapper also believing
In the word OF the fortune teller &C
cordlng to the police, killed little
Peter and In spirit OF revenge. left
his dead body at his home. The
police say they have no clews.
