Hayman and Bosshardt
RANSOM MONEY ON WAY TO BANDITS
(Received August 2S, 7.30 p.m.)
London, August 28.
The Peking correspondent of “The Times” says that negotiations for the release of Messrs. Hayman (New Zealand) and Bosshardt. the missionaries held captive by bandits, have entered the final delicate stages. The ransom money, which the Communists greatly reduced, has now been handed to couriers, and it is hoped that the missionaries will be released in a few days.
Messrs. A. Hayman, a native of Auckland. and Bosshardt, a Swiss, have been in the hands of Chinese Communists for nearly a year. They were on the staff of the China Inland Mission at Kiuehow. and were captured on October 9 of last year. Since then hopes of their ultimate release have alternatively risen and fallen, and at one time it was thought that they might have been killed.
