$2,000 Demanded as Ransom
The only child of the wealthy citizen Ebenezer Dorset, Johnny Dorset, has been kidnapped last night and a ransom note was found demanding $2,000 for his release. At the last place, Johnny was seen there was a cat's corpse that some said they saw him stoning while walking by. A shard of brick with some blood on it was also found, and it is possible he threw it when trying to fight off his
kidnappers.
