DETROIT, December Police of
Detroit and several Eastern cities were
cooperating today in an effort to learn
whether Peter Kudzinowski, confessed
slayer, was responsible for the disap-
pearance of several children whose fate
is puzzling.
After admitting he had killed Joseph
Storela, z, in swamp near Secaucus,
N. j., November II, and Harry Quinn,
fellow worker, in Scranton, Pa, in
March, 1924, he said he had attempted
to abduct a boy and girl in New York
City several months ago.
Brooklyn authorities requested he be
questioned concerning the disappear
ance two years ago Of 4-year-old Billy
Gaffney, son of Mr.. and Mrs Edmund
Gaffney of Brooklyn. Despite long
questioning, however, the 28-year-old
former section hand reiterated time
after time Joe was the only boy
killed"
Arrested for Drunkenness.
Kudzinowski was arrested here for
drunkenness. His actions in a cell
aroused suspicion and questioning
brought his confessions. After detail
ing to Inspector Fred Frahm his two
unsuccessful attempts at abduction,
Kudzinowski said, "I made up my mind
Joe wouldn't get away. I fooled him
and he didn't get loose like the other
kids did"
After persuading the boy to accom-
pany him by taking him to a motion
picture show and buying him candy.
KudzinowSki said he and the boy went
to swamp near Secaucus. His account
of the crime ended with the assertion:
He yelled for his mother and / was
afraid some one on the highway might
hear. so I took out my pocket knife and
cut his throat"
Details Later Movements.
Late that night, he added, he caught
freight train to Scranton, then went
to Buffalo and from there to Detroit.
He waived eXtradition and probably
will be turned over to New Jersey Off
GERS for return to Jersey City. Au-
thoritieS at Scranton have not found
the body of Quinn, and Kudzinowski
said his memory was hazy on the kill
ing.
Police say he appears subnormal
