Rector of Italian Church Is Abducted By Party of Men and MysteriousIy Spirited Away-GuiIty Per
 sons Are Unknown.

New York November 16-The Rev. Joseph Cirringoine rector of the Italian Church of the Imaculate Conception in Williams Bridge, a suburb of thls city, who disappeared from his home under mysterious circumstances last Friday night, was found early today by a po- liceman on East Fifty-frst street, rav- ing wildly in Italian, and is now in a hospital.
 Father Cirringoine had incurred the en- mity of Italians about Williams Bridge by a crusade aginst vice. He received several threatening letters and had re- ported the matter to the poice who were endeavoring to locate the writer's Late Friday night two men called upon him and, representing themselves as de- tectives, asked him to accompany them to the station house. He did not return and it was believed he had ben carried off by agents of an Italian secret soci- ety.
 When found today Father Cirringoine fell exhausted into the arms of the po- liceman, crying out repeatedly: They have robbed me and they will kill me- Protect me-.
 A hurried examination of the priests physical condition was made by physi- clan, who found on his wrists two red marks similar to those that would have been made had the priests wrists been bound with rope.

Priests Story.

Under the influence of soothing drugs Father Cirringoine became calmer and was able to tell something of his story. He said he had been robbed by two men, the men who had gone to his home on Friday night, and whom he had accom- panied, believing them to be detectives.
 They took me to the ocean," he said. but beyond that the questioners could get little in detail of where he had been. He said that when but few steps from the door of his own home, the two men grasped him, one grabbing him by the arms. and pinioning them behind him, while the other thrust over his nostrils a cloth of some kind saturated with a pungent liquid. Then he says he lost consciousness and the next thing he knew was when he found himself in a dark and dismal cellar with his wrists bound.
 The priest said that he had been freed but a few minutes before he had been found by the policemen. He said he had been blindfolded and led into the street and then the bandages over his eyes were removed and he had been given a push.

Wise Will Probably Go on Stand for Purpose of Contradlcting State

 Cox, Vassar and Wilksey.

Seven months ago today William Wise with the killing of Elias NJ. Lathem in the lobby of the Morris hotel on the morning of that day
 The case of William Wise which is on trial In the criminal court, has been in progress since last Thursday and 1t was rumored about the court room yesterday and the rumor seems to be pretty well substantiated by the developments of the day, that the defense would close it's case before court closes this afternoon.
 The states counsel announced yester- day morning at 10 o'clock that the state would rest so that most of the day was given over to the examination of the de- fendants witnesses Most of the wit nesses who were called went on the stand for the purpose of testifying to the good character of the defendant. Fifty men, well known in business circles in Bir- mingham, stated on the stand that the general charter and reputation for peace and quietude of William Wise was good.
 The cross examination of these men in many cases by the states counsel was humorous and caused much amusement among the spectators. The character wit nesses were interspersed between other witnesses so that the evidence continued practically through the whole day.
