transcribed by E Lorinczi THE RECORD, Hoffman Estates, IL April 21, 1965 LAD FROM VILLAGE IS SLAIN Tragedy struck the Hoffman-Schaumburg community Sunday as the 15-year old son of a Schaumburg police officer was stabbed to death on a street in Chicago. Peter M. Swistowicz, Jr., whose father is a reserve patrolman for the village police department, was visiting his uncle at 3252 S. Halstead St. Young Swistowicz was walking along Halstead in the company of Daniel Weyers, another Schaumburg youth, when a 1965 Corvair automobile pulled up. In it were four young people, two boys and two girls. Schaumburg Police Chief Martin Conroy told The RECORD that the two Schaumburg boys stopped to look at the automobile and were questioned by one of the car's occupants, identified as Kenneth Coit, 20, of Chicago. The other male occupant Conroy identified as Joseph Corbett, also of Chicago. The youth identified as Coit was reported to leave the car, back young Swistowicz against a store front at 3201 S. Halstead, and stab the Schaumburg boy with a knife in the right chest. Conroy said the assailant then took flight in the automobile. Time was approximately 8:30 p.m. The Schaumburg lad was mortally wounded. He said to Weyers, "I've been stabbed,' walked a few feet and fainted. He died one hour later after being rushed to Evangelical Hospital. Conroy said Chicago police had reported that Coit, apprehended after returning to the scene of the stabbing, had made an oral confession giving no reason for the fatal attack. Young Swistowicz, described by Conroy as a "decent and honest boy," is survived by a sister, age 18, and his parents who live at 54 Wellesly Ct. in Weathersfield. He was a senior at Palatine High School.
