Thomas Carroll, Well
Known Resident Of Maple

ing.

Thomas Carroll. well known resi-
dent of 74s Maple street, has been mis-
sing from his home since Dec. II un-
der circumstances SO strange that his
son, John F. Carroll, who lives at the
same address today asked the police
to help him locate his lost parent.
The elder Carroll left home about
Dec. II to go to work on construc-
ton contract at Zyionite, Mass, In
connection with repairs in the vicinity
of the Hoosac Tunnel. To the surprise
OF his people no word came from
the father for several days, until about
the goth the son heard from fell
low workman that the father had
walked into the station there that day
and left q satchel In charge OF a
railroad eTnploye. No further word
came from the parent. The son Is at
a loss to understand what has become
of his father, for he says he is not at
work in Massachusetts, according to
the advices he has received from the
contractors for whom he was to have
gone TO work.

New York, Dec. 27.-That the death
penalty should be imposed for kid
mapping. for money sxtortion. was
the opinion expressed in court by
County Judge Fawcett, in Brooklyn,
today. He sentenced two convicted
Italians. who had held two boys for
ransom and threatened both of them
and their parents with death, to the
limit indeterminate sentence permitted
under the state law and expressed re-
gret that he could not send both to
the electric chair.
Disregarding threats of violence,
Judge Fawcett struck q vital blow ut
Black Hand operations when he SEN
fenced two convicted italian black
mailers to not legs than % years, nor
more than 40 years and 10 months, at
hard labor, in Sing Sing prison. The

Judge Fawcett bitterly scored this
pair in passing eentence. Their con-
viction. he safd, was q victory fer
long and careful investigation which
showed they were members Of the
"Biack Hand" organization In New
York. He paid high tribute TO Der.

Conditions are entirely different
