GRAND JURY ACTS TO-DAY
Police Say Gang Has Been steal

for Ten Years.

Investigation by the Grand Jury Of the
operations OF band OF kidnappers and
blackmailers that has been stealing chill
dren for ten years will begin to-day under
the guidance of Assistant District Attorney
Weller Mr. Weller Gays that In the past
ten years 1870 children have been stolen In
New York and held for ransom. varying
from $500 to $500. according to the re-
sources OF the parents.
II is believed that there will he many
indictments. There are ten defendants In
one case that will be submitted to the
Grand Jury. These men were held In
heavy bail yesterday by Magistrate Nc
Quade In jefferson Market court. They
are accused OF kidnapping Frank Lonso,

Two OF the defendants in the case arc
held for participation In the stealing Of
Frank di Fiori. eight year-old son Of n
Harlem grocer. Tho child was stolen in
the summer OF 1912 and held until his
parents paid $500.
Mr.. Weller's study Of the court records
shows that In the past ten years only
thrty-one kidnnppers have been prose
cuted. Nine OF these were convicted. Three
were found guilty In General Sessions two
weeks ago. One Of the three. woman,
was sentenced to prison for twelve years.
Her husband got a sentence OF thirty
years
The kidnappers stole Giuseppe Gumnia.
When their demand for 81. 500 was refused
they threatened to kill the child and
return him by parcel post. Then III y
sent a lock OF the boys hair. Finally
tho child was returned on the payment OF
marked money. The kidnappers accepted
SIPS. Five members OF the gang were
captured. hut two made a statement that
they were innocent go-betweens. Their
cases are stll pending
Mr.. Weller believes that IN the Grand
Jury investigation he will be able to ex-
plain some OF the mysteries OF this form
OF blackmail. He has learned that there
Is an organized band of kidnappors and
that the earnings OF each crime are
