KIDNAPERS'
LONG TERMS
Are Given Is Years Each for
Stealing Boys
JUDGE FAWCETT REGRETS
He Cannot Send Them to Chair--De-
nounces Crime as Equal to Murder,
He Is Surrounded by Guard
on Bench.

New York, Dec 2s.--A body blow to
the KIDNAPPING bands who have been
working in this and other cities was adj
ministered by Judge Fawcett in county
court in Brooklyn yesterday, when after
numerically scoring Maria RapEs and
Stanislao Pattenza as menace to the
community and deserving Of the death
penalty, the court gave them the maxi
mum sentence for kidnapping, an indeter-
inmate period of from twenty-five to
forty-niue years and ten months in state
prison They we're convicted recently
in quick trials OF having abducted and
held in captivity eight yearold Giuseppe
Longo and Michael Rizzo, seven yearold
sons of well-to-do Brooklyn Italians,
The Longo boy was kidnapped on Novem
Der 10 last and few days later the
Rizzo child disappeared. The Longo boys
parents 5000 nreceived a letter demand
ing $4,000 for the return of their child.
The case, being put into the hands OF
Deputy Police Commissioner Flynn, a
clew was obtained as to the whereabouts
of the supposed kidnapers, and in a sen
sational raid on house in East SD
street. the Longo child was found and
ten prisoners made, two Of them women.
Little Giuseppe Longo was the chief
witness against both prisoners at their
trials The prosecution alleged that Pat
tenza was the chief of the kidnapping
band and that Maria Kappa was one Of
his most important aides.
In sentencing the Kappa woman,
Judge Fawcett said he regretted that
he could not impose the death penalty,
which would be none too severe. He
declared that she must be lacking every
instinct of mother. Pattenza was
given a similar severe scoring which he
took coolly. The woman prisoner,
through an interpreter, disclaimed con-
nection with the kidnapping, but the
court declared that ner story was not
worthy Of the slightest credit. The an
nouneement of the sentence was we'll

posed of foreigners, which filed the

To Protect Him From q
Mob "A
HE ASSAULTED WHITE GIRL
Mob Storms Express Office and to Pre-,
vent Lynching Officers Put Negro
in Safe--Troops Called Out to
Protect the Prisoner

WeAon. w. Va, Dec 2s2 A large
mob besieged the local railway sta
ton last night TO prevent sheritfs from
removing William Furhy, colored, to the
prison at Clarksburg, State troops came
from Clarksburg by special train to pre-
vent lynching. At Eurby's trial yes
terday afternoon Flora Anglin, farm
er's daughter, declared she was the vic
tim OF three criminal attacks at his
hands.
The appearance of Mr. Anglin, the
father Of Miss Anglin, an aged man,
with long grey whiskers, upon the plat
form of the station, telling the crowd
that the story Of his daughter was true
set the mob wild.
Prosecuting Attorney Swint made
continued attempts to appeal to the peo-
pie from truck on the depot plat,
form, but the truck was drawn from
beneath him and the crowd yelled him
down The officials were wholly unable
to cope with the situation.
AT 7;l5 the mob burst open the door
of the express room where the sherifIs
and their prisoner had locked themselves
in. All the window lights were broken
and the mob demanded the negro's life.
But the latter was pushed into the con
cealed vault Of the express company for
safe-keeping where he had hardly
breath of air. An appeal to Governor
Gassock at Charleston for state troops
was followed Immediately by an order
for the mobilization Of the militia at
Clarksburg, Grafton and Parkersburg
and their dispatch here by special train
Until the arrival of the militia il was
necessary to confne the negro to the
vault Although that might mean death
TO him from suffocation. ii was con
sidered greater peril to release him
while the mob's frenzy was at such
height.
After the negros hearing yesterday
afternoon he was held to the grand jury
without bail, to answer to the charge
of assault and attempt to murder. The.
Anglin girl took the stand herself after
all other witnesses were excluded from
the court room and told hov Fllrby at

Following the trial, a mob collected
at the court house and demanded the
negro, but with the organization Of
large squad Of special deputies and the
regular force, Sheriff Perry G. Alfred
succeeded in getting his man to the rail
road station, planning to take the $3.50
train for Clarksburg. The train was an
hour late, however, and the mob mean
while had grown to such proportions
that when the train did arrive, the au-
thorites were unable to carry out their
plans.

Chicago, Dec Is United States Dis.
trict Attorney Edwin NJ Sims appeared
yesterday before Judge Kohlsaat in the

luton suit OF the government against
the National Packing company, which
had been accused Of being a trust, be
dismissed The order was entered By
the court
Assistant United States Attorney
James II, Wilkerson late yesterday is
sued statement regarding the sweep
ing aside of civil suits to make way for
criminal prosecution Of the men compos.
ing the National Packing company. He
declares there is but one reason for the
dismissal Of the civil case aud that is the
desire of the government for immediate
and vigorous criminal prosecution of the
packers. The statement follows;--
The petition against the packers was
filed March 2l, 1910 Afterwards there
was grand jury investigation, as re-
suit of which indictments were returned,
charging some of the defendants in the
bill with criminal violations OF the anti
trust law. Since the return of these in
dictments, the defendants in the equity
case have asked a number of extensions
OF time within which to answer, and
those extensions have always been
granted.
1T was thought to be fully under
stood BY both the government and the
attorneys for the packers that there
was to be no further proceedings in the
equity case until the trial OF the Grim.
inal eases
The purpose Of the dismissal OF the
equity case is to make clear the position
of the government that the trial OF
the criminal cases is to be vigorously
pushed and is to be interfered with in
no way whatever BY the pendeney Of the
equity cases in the circuit court"
II may be that a resort TO a petition
in equity to eujoin future violations will
be entirely unnecessary if the govern
ments contentious are established ia
the criminal cases. The attorney gen.
eral, therefore, directed dismissal of the
equity case without prejudice. Further
proceedings to enjoin future violations
