KIDNAPPED BOY
STILL NERVOUS

John Rodzinko, of 339 Prospect
street, enjoyed the comforts of home
last night for the first time in owe
a year. The lad Is almost afraid to
walk the streets alone fearing that
some one will take him back to the
place from which he made his es-
cape two days ago. The boy is but
fourteen years old and is yet too
nervous to give a complete descrip-
ton of the places in which he says
he was confined for the past year or
SO. A hat which the boy wore bears
a label from Duffy Brothers, cloth
iers, of Mount Vernon, N. Y, and
this partly substantiates the story
told by the boy to a NEWS reporter
yesterday.
Chief of Police Burke does not
give much credence to the story say
ing that he thinks 1t is one of the
best make ups" for a boy of Rod
zinko's years that he has has ever
heard. Mrs. RodzinkO arrived home
last night after a visit at Shrews-
bury and was overjoyed when told
that her son was safe. Great re
joicing was held at the home in this
city when mother and son met last
night for the first time in over a
year. The relatives of the boy in
tend to make a rigid investigation
of story of how he was kidnapped.

CHARGE CS|PO
WITH A LIBEL
Armin TomaschoH Has Rival
AGENT Arrested.

Issuance of circulars alleged to
have DETAINED the character OF Ar
min Tomaschoff caused the arrest
of Louis Csipo on a charge of GRIM
inal libel and his arraignment be-
fore Recorder Kehoe last night. On
request of counsel for the defendant
the case was adjourned until tomor-
row night. The case 1t is declared
arose out of rivalry between Tomas
choff and Csipo, who conduct for
eign exchanges and steamship ticket
agencies. T~omaschoff conducts an
office at 351 State street and Csipo
has been in business with Albert
Goldfnger at 407 State street. Tom
aschoff and Goldfnger were for
merly employed in NJ. Rosett's local
banking establishment.
Says He Told Banking Dept.
Tomaschoff AYERS that Csipo
caused defaming circulars to be
printed and distributed and caused
his arrest by reporting to the State
Banking Department that he, Tom
aschoff, did a money transmitting
business without authorization from
the state commissioner of banking
and insurance. Csipo admits this,
but his counsel wants proof as to
whether the corcular in question
contained anything libelous.
TomaschOff was represented by
Thomas Brown and James s. Wight
appeared as associate counsel with
Francis P. Coan for the defendant.
A representative of Mr.. Coan first
waived a hearing and suggested bail
be given for the grand jury. Mr..
Wight arrived later and after a con-
ference 1t was decided to hear the
evidence of the plaintiff.
Came From South River.
Csipo is thirty-one years old and
halls from South River. The circu-
lar concerning Tomaschoff, raj
translated by Arthur Reichman and
it said contains libelous statements
upon him. The complaint is that the
defendant did, with intent to hold
d%eponent up to the hatred, contempt
and ridicule of his neighbors, make
and publish and cause to be pub
lished a certain false, libelous and
malicious article.
