THREE new ARRESTS
IN KIDNAPPING CASE
Rv Associated Press.A

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 4.-Three additional
arrests were made early today in the kid
naping of Grace and Timmasso Viviano,
who were taken from their home here
Monday and are being held for $4,000 ram
som.
With the arrest of the suspects the po-
lice announced that they believe the chill
dren were put in trunks and shipped out
of the city
Lamantia Giroloma, driver; Pietro
Fanaro, a groceryman, and Domino Lut-
ticco, another employee, and Fanare were
the suspects taken to police headquar-
ters today Giroloma admitted having
taken three trunks in a grocery wagon
to an express office. Vincenzo Ricardo, a
friend of Samuel Turrisi, with whom the
children disappeared, and an unidentified
man supposed to be Turrisi rode to the
express Office with the trunks. The trunks
were put on the wagon at the home Of
Joseph Pagano, who was arrested yester-
day S
The police made the rounds of the ex-
press Offices with Giroloma, but failed to
find the clerk who received the baggage.
Giroloma said the men who hired him to
deliver the'trunks were excited and in a
great hurry. Ricardo had told Pagano
he was going to New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS. La, Aug. 4.-Accord-
ing to the New Orleans police, it is not
probable that the kidnapers of little
Grace and Timasso Viviano. of St. Louis,
will bring the children to New Orleans.
Vincenzo Ricardo and a man called
Tony" charged with kidnapping the chill
dren. are quoted as saying, about the time
of the KIDNAPPING. that they were getting
ready TO leave for New Orleans. The To-
cal police say that If they were quoted
correctly, New Orleans would be the last
place on earth to which they would bring
the children, and that IL they were not
quoted correctly, there is no ground for
the belief that they are heading for this
city.
It was reported at headquarters today
that the children had been packed in, big
felt-lined trunks, into which holes had
been bored for ventilation. and that they
had been shipped by express to this city.
The detectives at the railroad stations
have been notified. ...
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The trunks which
figure in the kidnapping of two Viviano
children at ST. Louis are said to have
been located here at the warehouse OF
the Adams Express company. They WILL
It is said, be opened.
There were three trunks, all addressed
to Louis Beranadotte.
