side the door. ISABELLA told tho police
that his ASSISTANTS attempted TO rob him.
He carried nearly 81 900. which he had
collected during the day. T-c police. how
ever. are inclined TO believe ISABELLA had
gone there to pay part Of the ransom
asked by the kidnappers Of his son.
ISABELLA insisted that he did not know
any Of his assailants, and that he was out
collecting bills.
The screams Of woman i'm the store at
the time put the assailants to flight before
they could rob ISABELLA. They had gone
through his trousers pockets, but In their
haste had overlooked the hip pocket where
the Italian merchant carries his money.

would never see his son alive. ISABELLA
communicated with the police at the time.

sarv amount of money demanded Later
