Two Men and
Woman Held on
Extortion CHARGE

fhihp kastel, his wife, Maud Edna,
and Grant Rose, motorman, were ar
rested yesterday and arraigncd in the
West Side Court, where Magistrate
Brough held them each in $500 bail,
charged with attempting to cxtort
$4,000 from Paul +. Heller. a steel
manufacturer OF Newark n. j.
Heller has already been named as
correspondent in a divorce action
brought by Kastel against his wife
lie terms this suit merely a follow-up
OF an attempt to blackmail him.
Rose, when arrested, was taken at
once to the District Attorneys office,
where, it is said, he disclosed what he
knew of the case. He himself, he said,
was employed by Kastel to act as the
TREND who would rush between the
deceived husband and deceiver and
suggest settlement on a cash basis. Ac-
cording to his statement before the
District Attorney, all things happened
as kaste had planned. and Heller left
the apartment after being told it would
cost him $4,000 to keep the affair
quiet. Instead of paying, the steel
man consulted lawyer, then employed
private detectives and by means Of a
dlctaphone obtained enough evidence
to warrant an arrest by the New York
police.
