This plalntiye letter was one of two
received yesterday by James ManninO,
wealthy contractor Of 62 Amity
street Brooklyn, whose son Antonio,
nine years old was kidnapped on Tues
day night by members of the mys-
FERROUS BLACK Hand organization.
That the letters were written by the
lad himself is not doubted by his dis
tractod mother and father, and the
police share in the belief
Antonio Galit, thirty three years old,
and Charino Galiti, twenty-four years
old, both of 80 Pacific street. Brooklyn,
We're arrested ut 0 O'Clock last night by
Captain Rooney and detectives in con

Mannino.
Angelo Cucozza. the original prison

Galiti was the chief of the kidnapping
plot
When Rooney went to arrest him
Galiti barred the doors, and the police
entered the house only after a sharp
fight Charno Galiti was held prison

to make the two additional arrests and

is believed, will clear up the mystery
and restore the boy to his parents this
morning.

Then Detective Sergeant Antonio
Vachris, the Italian detective was sent
for TO take a hand in the case. To-

in front of the station house. Both
were placed in the cells, the friend in
the one occupied by Angelo Cucozza.
The police agent began to rave He
cursed the police, he cursed the Ameri-

swore he would wreak vengeance for
his arrest Finally Cucozza thought
he recognized friend in him and the
two men fell to talking.
The detectives friend was taken ont
