KIDNAPPERS KILL BOY
SENSATION AT HONOLULU FATHER PAYS RANSOM (Australian ' and N.Z. Press Association) HONOLULU, Friday. The body of a 10-year-old boy named Jamieson was found to-day after a two-days’ search within a few hundred yards of the Waikiki Hotel, where it had been left by kidnappers. The lad had been strangled. The kidnappers had collected £BOO of £2,000 they had demanded as ransom from the boy’s father, Mr. Frederick Jamieson, vice-president of the Hawaiian Trust Company. The boy was lured from school on Tuesday by a white-clad stranger, who told the teachers he had come from a hospital where, he said, the boy’s mother was suffering from injuries, sustained in a motoring accident. Fifteen suspects, including several Japanese, were held for investigation. The Chamber of Commerce has offered a reward of £4,000 for the apprehension of the kidnappers. The crime has caused the greatest excite-
ment here of any event since the armistice, and business has practically been suspended.
