On the evening OF Tuesday, Jan. %,
Winifred Silvia, the 13-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Silvia, who lives on Webster
court, suddenly disappeared. All of the

and most persistent Of the searchers was
Luigi Carboni, who had been an init
mate friend CT the family for some time,
Every evening since the departure of the
ygirl, Carboni has called at Mrs. Silvia's
house and told where he had been, what
he had dole and what he was going to
do. and SO before he gave up the search
for the lost child.
Last Sunday a member of family re-
siding at 33 Hamilton place walked into
the Ashburton street station and said
that there was a strange girl in the tene-
ment above them and that the actions of
the man of the house and the child were
somewhat suspicious.
Captain Matthews went TO the house
and there he found the Silvia girl and
she told a pitiful story. She said she had
teen assaulted by Carboni each night
since Tuesday evening and that he would
not allow her to leave the house nor go to
her mother. The girl was taken in
charge by Charles H.. Thurber, agent for
the society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children.
Yesterday morning Carboni was
arrested at his home, 33 Hamilton place,
by Captain Matthews aud officer Gilfoil,
aud this morning he was arraigned before
Judge Sweetland on the charge of uniaw-
fully and c~arnally knowing a female
under age OF consent.
He pleaded not guilty and was held in
the sum OF $500 until Friday for trial.
The penalty for this crime is 10 years
in State prison.
The child is not i'm a critical condition.

morning, and escaped with $500, of

of clever professionals. After drilling
holes in the safe, they waited till a

The noise of the explosion was SO great,
