Fanatic Admits Murder of Eileen Fahey in Boston
A Boston man confessed to killing 18 year old Eileen Fahey, a stenographer at the American Physical Society, in New York City near Columbia University. He said he murdered her over his rejected book How to Live Forever, planned to kill others, and fled from his rooming house to New York where eight shots were fired. He claimed the society rejected his theories and that the book was his thesis. He arrived by train, but he did not know the victim. The police quoted him explaining he would shoot anyone who ignored his book. He also cited mood of obsession over his work as motive.
