STATEN ISLAND BOY
 BRUTALLY MURDERED
Youngster, Son of Police. man, Also Fiendishly
 Assaulted

New York, July 16.--Virtually the
 entire police force of Staten Island
 was marshalled today in an effort to
 arrest the slayer of eight year old Francis Mcdonald, son of a Staten Island policeman, whose mutilated
 body was found late last night in a hastily constructed grave of brush and leaves near the child's home. The body was discovered by searching party which had been seeking the boy since his disappearance Monday aft ernoon.
 The boys suspenders, knotted tight ly about the throat, had been used to strangle him, and the body bore evi- dences of tiendish assault, the police say. Nearly all the clothing had been torn from the body and was scattered about.
 Until late last night the police had few clews upon which to work, only one person other than the slayer, ap- parently having seen the boy after he went out to play Monday afternoon. Jacob Stein neighbor of the Mc- Donald family, told the police he saw the lad at 4.S0 o'clock Monday after noon walking along the road toward the woods. He wore a new pair of overalls in which he had chid's pride. Just ahead of the boy was a man whom Stein described ''as about 90 years old" Believing the boy was a stranger 10 the trolley line, Stein gave no further heed to the pair,, he said. So far as the police have been able to learn, that was the | last time the boy was seen alive.
 The police have thrown a cordon around the island, with watches main | aimed at the ferries and a lookout for | boats putting out from the land by which the slayer might try to escape.
 The scene of the boys murder is ,nly three-quarters of mile from the pot where Mrs. Maude Bauer was hot and killed last March after her ar had stalled on lonely road, larry Hoffman. a motion picture op- rator, is now serving 20-year sen- ence for her murder.
