WM. {.AUSTERER, OF WALHALLA, LAUGHS
AT THE REPORTED KIDNAPPING.
A Rtrarfl ID sw.
practically the Sumo Story ns was Started
Several Months Ago.
Wo olip tho following story from tho
Now York World of July 17. It purports
to bo au intorviow regarding a kidnap
piug soiuo twouty-flvo yoars ago:
"Albort W. Laustoror, aooordiug to a
statomout lio mado last night to a World,
roportor, is tho victim of a kidnapping
plot whioh han boon successfully con
cealed for twouty-flvo yoars and which
is ia many rospoots as mysterious as tho
'Oharloy' Rossoaso. Ho has just called
upon tho Philadelphia polico to unravel
tho ?uzzlo.
. "Laustor?r, who is about twonty-oight
I yoars old, behoves that his true namo is
I Christian Hobie, and that ho was kid
napped whoa a little moro than three.
Ho has no idon as to tho placo from
whioh ho was stolon, but boliovos it was
Philadelphia or sumo nearby point.
"Laustoror is employed in Halley's res
taurant nt No. 877, Sixth avonuo, and
explained Inst night his reasons for ask
ing tho Philadelphia polico to tako up
tho nmttor.
SEEKS HIS UKAl. l'AHKNTS.
" lI havo boon convinced for a good
many years,' ho said, 'that my supposed
father and mother woro uot my real
parents. My first suspicions wore aroused
ten yoars ago, wheo my supposed mothor,
as I was leaving homo, handed mo a
picturo o? n boy, probably about throe
yoars old, and said: 'You had hotter
take good caro of that; it may come in
handy somo timo.' Tnoy livod iu Louis
ville at that timo, at No. 1031, Wost
Market stree!.
" 'I thought that wns an odd thing for
her to say. I had boliovod from my
troatmont that thoy oould not bo my
real parents. Anothor thing whioh mado
mo suspicious nt that timo was that sho
showed mo a birth cirtificato of 'Chris
tian Ronlo.' There woro a lot of altera
tions and erasures in it, and sho Bald ho
had boon godfather to mo. I noticed
that tho dato of tho birth would about
correspond with my supposed ago.
" 'Aftor I left homo 1 boarded for
somo time with Mrs. Rollo Sohurl, who
lived at Sovontoonth and Dumosnil
streets, in Louisville. I snid something
ono day about believing 1 had not boon
with my real parouts and Mrs. Sohurl
told about a kidnapping caso of whioh
sho know about 187">. Sho said some
thing about tho Charloy Ross case and
then told of another caso sho romomberod
loading about at tho timo.
SUPPOSED KIDNAPPE? SHOT.
" 'Sho told of a boy whoso father had
como from Frankfort-on-Main, Goruiany,
who was kidnapped whon sho was a
Uttlo girl. Dotoctivcs wore sent on tho
caso, and thoy dually carno up to a man
thoy suspected of hoing in tho plot. Ho
was shot while trying to escapo. When
tho detectives got to him thoy ordorod
him to toll wdio had tho stolen boy. Ho
bogan to spoil 'L-a-u-'-and Dion foll
ovor dead.
" 'After Mrs. Schurl had iiuisliod tho
story 1 began to think lt strange that
the father of that boy should havo como
from Qormhny and that my supposed
parents should havo taken mo to Qor
mnny twico when 1 was small. Anothor
thing that I thought about a good doal
was that Mrs. Sohurl, in trying to toll
mo tho namo of tho boy who was kid
napped, said it was R?wo or Roble.
" '1 dotorminod, about a year and a
half ago, to seo if I couldn't settle tho
matter, I wont back to my homo, and
while tboro was looking through a pho
tograph album. In thc album I found a
photograph of a woman Whom 1 resem
bled in many rcspocls. In tho back
ground of thc picturo was a stand and a
vaso or something was on it.
BUHE IT WAS MOTllKlt's PO UTK A IT.
" *I remcniborcd that whoa I waf
about three years old 1 wont with mj
j mother to a photograph gallery and thal
I hail my hand slapped for taking somo
thing oil' the table. As I looked at til if
picture I became certain that tho vaso Ol
thc table was the one I had touched, i
now behove that that was a photograpl
of my mother, and that I was stolon fron
ber not long afterward.
" 'Tho name of tho photographer.
William IL Kau, whoso studio is at No
328 Camac street, Philadelphia, wai
printed on tho picturo and that is wha
makes nie believe 1 was stolen from tba
city.
" 'Another incident that I have oftoi
wondered about was that my suppos?e
mothor said to mo ono day that after sh
was dead there would bo ono of til
greatest sensations over heard of. 'Ohl;
ono thing liko it has evor happened bc
fore,' she said to mo.' "
"Laustoror is of medium height, pale
faced, with blue eyes and light hair.
"Laustoror says that his suppose?
father and mother have moved fror
Louisville to Walhalla, S. C., Mid tho
Mrs. Sohurl has moved to Memphis,
"Laustoror wrote sovornl months ag
to tho Louisville police, and his stor
was discredited in that city."
Il is Simply Stuff.
When soon Tuesday morning Mr. Lani
toror smilingly replied to a questioi
"Yes, I have a son Albort and ono name
Rudolph.'' Ho was shown tho clippin
from tho Wold. His wifo road it an
said i here was nothing in it.
Last winter Mr, Laustoror WM bando
a similar statomout from a Knoxvillo p?
por, and tho clipping was somewhat <
an "old song" lo him. Ile said ho di
not understand why tho roport was boin
circulated, and doubts if bis son and tl
person claiming to bo Albert W. Lauslon
aro tho saino. "1 can soo no reason f?
my sou to make such a statement, and
do not believe it is bo who is doing i
Tho whole thing is simply stuff and thoi
is nothing in it." When Mrs. Lausten
road tho clipping she said it was almo:
tho same thing as she read some six <
seven months back, and that (boro wi
no truth in lt so foran "my were co
cerned. They expect their son Rudo1|
to visit them some time in the futuro.
Mr. Laustoror has lived in Wallia!
about a year and has boon an oxoinpln
citizen. Ile is a thorough (?orinan ai
roads no Knulish. Ho lived in Louisvt)
somo eleven yoars, and tho people kno
bim, and be has heard from there, havll
writ ton after his attention was first calb
to tho reports. Tho authorities did n
credit the statement at all, ami advisi
him to pay no attention whatevor lo it.
