QUEER STORY BYAPRIEST
FATHER CIRRINGTIONE FOUND IN
THE STREET RAVING WILDLY.
Says He Was Abducted, Robbed,
Bound and Imprisoned I'm a Dark,
Dismal Cellar.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The Rev. Joseph
Cirringtione, rector of the italian Church
of the Immaculate Conception in Williams
Bridge, a suburb of this city, who disap-
peared from his home under mysterious cir
cumstances last Friday night, was found
early to-day by a policeman in East Fifty
first street raving wildly in Italian, and is
now in hospital.
Father Cirringtione had incurred the en-
nifty of Italians about Williams Bridge by
a crusade against virce. He received sew
eral threatening letters. and had reported
the matter to the police, who were endeav-
oring to locate he writer's. Late Friday
night two men called upon him. and repre-
senting themselves as detectives, asked him
to accompany them to the station house.
He did not return, and it was believed he
had been carried off by agents of an Italian
secret society.
When found to-day Father Cirringtione
fell exhausted into the arms Of the police
man, crying out repeatedly, "They have
robbed me, and they will kill me, protect
me-" hurried examination OF the priests
physical condition was made by a physi-
clan, who found that on his wrists were
two red marks similar to those that would
have been made had the priests wrists been
bound with a rope. Under the influence of
soothing. drugs Father Cirringtione became
calmer and was able to tell something of
his story.
He said that 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 the detectives.
They took me to the ocean," he said, but
beyond this questioners could get little in
detail of where he had been. He said that
when but a few steps from the door of his
own home the two men grasped him, one
grabbing him by the arms and pinioning
over his nostrils a cloth of some kind sat
urated 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 few minutes before he had been
found by the policeman. He said he had
then the bandages over his eyes removed
and he had been given push.
Father Cirringtione, when he left his
house, had gold-mounted ebony cane, a
valuable gold watch and chain and some
money When found to-day all were gone.
Friends and relatives of Father Cirring-
tione believe the story of the priest, but the
police are awaiting further developments
before taking any action for the discovery
of the alleged abduCtors. To Civil Justice
Roesch, an old friend of the priest, the
latter said there were four men in the gang
which abducted him. Only one was an
Italian. One OF the other men was very
rough to him and insisted that he be killed.
He said that he heard the men say on
the story of his abduction, and this man
again insisted that he be killed. The Others
objected and managed get this man in
toxicated and the priests life was saved.
