At about the seme time, Anna Hoyarsky, who was recently released from @ sanitarium and Bved at No. G3 Wyona street, next door to the Liebowits family, dropped out of sight. Neither the Liebowits child nor Anna Boyarsky has been seen since. Freda Liebowits was accosted as she left her home yesterday afternoon by Mise Boyarsky. The two walked | away together in tho direction of » candy store. It was at firat thought the Liebowits child had wandered away, but the reported disappearance of Miss Boyarsky last night led to a comparison of clroumstances, Then it | was discovered that Miss Boyarsky | had a record as a kidnapper. | FOND OF CHILDREN, HER ONLY REASON. | The girl has no excuse to offer otncr| sie that she Is passionately fond of j children, When caught the last tino, she Was sick and faint from want of food, Wut the infant she had stolen was fat und had been well cared for.
