NEW ORLEANS PRISON COTAlN-
ING KIDNAPPERS is STRONG
LY GUARDED.

The head was lo,a.
tance from the body.
Two of the Italians under arrest
charged with being accompliees to
the murder are women. Extra de-
tails of police and deputies are main
tanning order in the excited Italian
quarters. All day long small crowds
have been dispersed promptly by the
police despite whose precautions
report has gone out summoning a
mass meeting at Elk Place. Seventy
armed deputies have been placed on
guard at the Orleans Parish prison,
the strongest in the state, where
three of the prisoners are held, and
some apprehension has been<felt for
the safety of the two other prisoners
who were last night taken to an ad-
joining parish
Seldom since the Malta lynehings,
16 years ago, has New Orleans been
so stirred with threats of violence as
today, and some of these threats are
made by those who participated in
the disorders at that time. The law
and order element is much stronger
than it has been heretofore, a large
number of citizens having pledged
themselves to prevent violence.
The murdered boy was found near
Strose, about 20 miles from New Or
leans. A sweating process rung IA
confession from one of the Italian
suspects, who was taken from his
home in Strose about midnight last
night and carried into the woods by
combined force of officials and vigi-
lantes, who had the case in charge.
This man, lganZio Campigciano, was
kept in the woods an hour, when he
confessed, charging four Italians
with the murder. He said that about
the time of a mass meeting in New
Orleans, more than a week ago, held
for the purpose of prosecuting the
search for the body, these men, who
were in vacant house in Strose, be-
came frightened and consulted about
what to do with the child. The boy
was crying, begging to be taken
home to his parents, said Campigcci-
ano, and one of the quartette of the
kidnappers grabbed the child and
strangled him to death to stop his
noise.
Later two of the kidnappers, he
said, came to him carrying the body
in a blanket and, after threatening
him with death if he told, took the
body into a swamp
Campigciano, relating this story,
led the police through two miles of
| swamp, where the searchers some
times waded in water nearly waist
deep and at others crawled under
tangles of briers. In a shallow pool
at the end of this search, the body
was found in the blanket in clump
of cane
Returning to the city, the police
arrested Nioclina Gebbia, an Italian
woman, who is alleged to have con-
| fessed that she knew of the kidnap-
| ping plot from the first from one of
the four kidnappers, whom she eX-
pected to marry. Campigciano said
that these four were Stefano Monfre,
Tony Gendusa, Angelo Cacatari and
an Italian named Incanterra. The
police said they expected to capture
/ these men within two or three days.
The other prisoners directly impli-
Gated by the confession are Campig-
cianos wife, Frank Gendussa and
Leonardo Gebvia.
The dead boys funeral was held
this afternoon. BY 6 O'Clock the en-
tire Italian colony appeared to have
| learned the details of the murder and
| the police feared the crowds which
would gather at the funeral if it was
| delayed.
