SIDNEY DREW TO
WED YOUNG SINGER
to Keep License Sc
cret FailS-Actor Is About
Fifty Years Old.

Despite the promise Of secrecy made
at the Bureau Of Marriage Licenses
yesterday, it was learned that Sidney
Drew, half-brother Of John Drew, the
actor, accompanied by Miss Lucille Nc
Vey, paid a visit to Chief Clerk Scully
during the morning-intention, matri-
mony. They are TO be married on July
%. but where the ceremony is TO take
place is not known. This is the one
secret they have been successful in
keeping.
Miss McVey, who is twenty-four
years old and lives at 81 West 25th
St, is known both here and in England
as a concert singer. She has done ly-
ceum and Chautauqua Rotations and
has been especially well rated for her
impersonations Of children. But at
present she is on her way to Sedalia,
No, to see her family, happy except
for the tragic fact that the great secret
is out.
Mr.. Drew recently abandoned the
actor manager role, in which he gained
his reputation, and has taken up NOV
ing pictures. His former wife, who
was known under the pen name Of
George Cameron. died last January.
Mr.. Drew will continue to live at
Murray's, on 42d ST.. until the 25th of
the month, when Miss McVey returns
for the wedding. 1t is to be noted, as
Miss McNey pointed out, that, although
he is written down as very close TO
fifty years old, he is by no means on
crutches.

Grand Jury to Hand Down
s Bills To-day in Gang
Case, Is Report.
MAY BARE WHOLESALE
THEFT OF CHILDREN
Frank Longo, Boy Victim, Aids
State-Arrest of Band
Leader Near.

Eight indictments will be handed
down by the grand jury this morning,
according to those in touch with the
investigation which that body, aided
by Royal Weller, Assistant District At
torney, is conducting into the affairs
of the kidnapping gang which has Tor
ten years terrorized the East Side.
Mr.. Weller believes he will be able
10 show the connection between the ten
Italians who kidnapped Frank Longo,
of 100 Blocker ST., and the disappear
ance of some of the $50 children OF
this city who have been kidnapped
during the last ten years.
The capture of the leader, he as
serted, waited only on the breakdown
of some of the gang. The mans iden-
tity is known, but the evidence so far
accumulated does not warrant his ar
rest. He was the brains Of the gang,
writing its letters and directing its
operations.
All of these letters, first those de-
manding ransom, then those threaten
ing mutilation and death If the money
was not paid, are in the same hand'
The letters of the children themselves
pleading with their families to release
them, are "Ilttth III S''''"'

-Four of the twenty witnesses sub
pqnaed 10 tell the secrets Of the gang
were heard yesterday. Among them
was Frank Longo, one OF the stolen
children.
Mr.. Weller hopes TO clinch the evil
dence pointing to the wider activltie.
of the gang through the testimony OF
Giuseppe di Fiori, the child OF grocer
of 1873 West Houston St, who was
kidnapped in 1912 and whose case was
brought to the attention of the grand
Jury Yesterday. The boy was released
on payment Of $1,000.
The witnesses who will appear TO-
day are said to have definite knowledge
of the workings of the trust, as u Is
called on the East Side. Many OF them
have possessed for long time IN
formation through which indictments
could have been secured, 1t is said, ou'
terror kept them silent. This silence
has been responsible for the relative
safety of the kidnappers.
Vigorous efforts will be made TO un'
cover as many as possible OF the more

Only $50 in Arrears.

Trantor appealed to the Appellate
Division from the alimony order, but
the higher court upheld the Supreme

$1,000 without paying, Mrs. Beatrice
Trantor got the order for his commit
ment.
In her suit for separation Mrs. Vom
Hofe complained that her husband
showed much attention 10 Mrs. Char
lotte Barefield, Of Woodhaven. Long
Island. The wife found a number OF
letters which called her husband
"Sweetie" and Dear Soul" and Mrs.
Vom Hofe says that she did not write
them. In one of the letters the writer
said: "Some people have been friends
for nineteen years, so why not WEI"
The Vom Hofes have been living
apart since 1908 under a separation
agreement. Vom Hofe said yester-
day that he had given his wife 800
a month while he was getting $1,000 a
year. This income, he declared, had
been cut to $4,000, and he could no
longer afford to give the allowance.

Charges Imposed on Railroads
by Authorities Must Be

Soak the public" is the new panacea
of Frederick W. Whitridge for oring-

not hesitate to say so, either, put
shouts it with brutal frankness.

said Mr.. Whitridge yesterday. "Ou:

posing charges upon the railroads. II

spend three months on his estate n
Scotland.

PICK A TO TRY
MRS. WAKEFIELD
Many Talesmen Excused
on First Day of Second
Murder Trial.
DEFENDANT CALM
AS BATTLE BEGINS
Few in Courtroom, Despite Keen
Interest Aroused After
Woman's Conviction.

From stan Correspondent OF The Tribune. J
New Haven, July 1.-THE opening
OF the second trial of Mrs. Bessie
Wakefield. the first woman sentenced
to death in Connecticut since Colo
NAL days. was entirely taken up here
to-day with the process of selecting
jury. There was nothing dramatic
about ~; indeed, il was tedious. Out
OF the seventy-two prospective Jurors
who answered for duty no less than
forty-two were examined and only
four we're chosen. The defence chal-
lenged eighteen up TO 6 o'clock this
evening and the state eleven. Judge
Joel II. Reed excused nine. II may be
necessary to draw another panel.
Although intense interest was aroused
by the woman's conviction on the
charge of causing the death Of her
husband by conspiring with her lover
to kill Wakefield, and petitions and
letters poured in by. the hundreds to
Governor Baldwin, none of the club
women who have exerted themselves
so strenuously in the prisoners behalf
was IN the courtroom to-day. In fact.
only about thirty-fve persons in all
were present, including the court off,
Gals, attorneys and newspaper men.
The central figure in the trial sat
with her attorneys, Thomas, Devine &
Baumby, of Waterbury, and viewed the
proceedings with more calm than was
expected. She looked very we'll, in
deed. The rumors that she was a
physical wreck were Immediately dis
PEELED During the morning she paid
constant attention to the state of her
finger nails, industriously polishing
them, but in the afternoon, as she
grew bit tired and worried, she be-
gan 20 chew them. At the recess
period she walked down Church st. to
luncheon in company with a court Of
fetal. Although she was bareheaded
no one recognized her.
What initiated so against a quicker
selection of jury was the fact that
practically everybody in this part Of
Connecticut has formed some sort of
an idea about the prisoners guilt or
innocence from the evidence of the
first trial. Most of the talesmen said
they had opinions. Objection to capt.
tai punishment led 10 several jurors
being excused.
The case, which is being tried in the
beautiful new courthouse, is expected
to last a week, once 1t is under way.
ms HOIHiHb carly hTS. lllldm May
nard, of Merideh, said that she and
several other women were to have a
meeting in connection with raising
money for Mrs. Wakefeld's defence.
Another interested in this movement
is Mrs Samuel Blickensderfer, wife OF
the typewriter manufacturer.
William .. Wakefield, the woman's
husband, was shot. stabbed and choked
TO death by James Plew at Cheshire
in June, 1913. The wife was found
guilty of murder on October 81 and
sentenced to be hanged on March 4,
but the execution was stayed and the
Supreme Court granted a new trial,
chiefly on the ground that evidence
was admitted in her trial which had to
do with the acts Of Plew, who did the
actual killing. The latter was hanged
in March.
