BUDAPEST, Dec. 20-Mysterious
kidnapping of rich Jews continue here
and the police seem unable to end it
or to detect the criminals.
Recently three wine merchants who
had gone to the country disappeared.
The police followed their tracs to the
lake Balaton, where the water washed
ashore a boat in which the hats of
the merchants were found. All fur
Their trace was lost and their fate is
still unknown. although there is every
indication of murder.
The. case of Jacob Reissman, a rich
piano manufacturer, belongs to the
same category. Reissman was car
ried away from his home in Budapest
by three men who pretended to be
detectives of the military police.
Reissman vanished and with him the
contents of his safe. 1t is considered
certain that the unfortunate manufac
turer was robbed and killed although
neither the perpetrators nor the body
of the victim were found.
