. KIDNAPPING
OF NiNE-YEAR-OLD ITALIAN
BOY
SHOWS new FEATURES
Captors Now Threaten
to Murder Lad.

New York, Aug. 11.--A new develop
ment in the so-called "Black Hand"
kidnapping of Tony Mannino, the nine
year-old son of Vincenzio Mannino, a
Brooklyn contractor, which has con,
vulsed the Italian colony both in New
York and Brooklyn was the arrest late
this afternoon of Mrs. francesca Co.
neglio, wife of one of the alleged kid
nappers on suspicion of being impli-
Gated in the plot. The police claim
that they have traced the boy to the
house occupied by Mrs. Coneglio and
she was given the third degree by the
police but failed to throw any light on
the disappearance of the boy. Mrs.
Coneglio completely collapsed under
the ordeal and it was necessary to re-
move her to Bellevue hospital.
The letters, believed to have been
written by the boy, who disappeared
on last night, were received by his
father today. One of the letters re.
newed the dmand for $4,000 ransom
with the threat that If the police are
not called off the case the captors
would not alone kill the lad but will
kill the entire Mannino family. The
other letter stated that the boy was
in good health and was held a captive
in the country. The first letter re
ceived bore New Jersey postoffice
mark and the other was mailed In
| New York.
Police Captain Rooney, who is con
ducting the search for the boy sait
today that he was sure the boy woult
be returned to his parents within 6
day or so and that the arrest of hi
abductors would follow.
