for long time. At least it seemed
long time to him. At last Redhead
started to climb the trunk of the tree.
Farmer Browns Boy watched and he
saw how slowly Redhead climbed and
how often he had to stop to rest.
THAT bird is hurt" declared Farm
er Browns Boy. "He is hurt and he
IS weak. Probably he has been lying
there in the grass for a long time
without anything to eat Poor little
chap! Welcome Robin must have
found him and guessed what was the
matter with him. I'll have to look
after Redhead"
He turned and went back into the
mousse. In few minutes he came out
again and in one hand was more
bread. Slowly, so as not to friehten
Redhead, he moved over toward the
tree, AS you know, Welcome Robin
saw him coming. Redhead didn't see
MN until he was close to the tree
Redhead was frightened, but all he
could do was to cling to the side of
the tree. He hadn't strength to do
anything else. " w
Very quietly, all the time speakine
softly, Farmer Browns Bow reached
out a bit of bread to Redhead AZ
trst Redhead was too frightened to
take 1t. But the sight of that food
vas too much for him. and presently
ne gul.ped that piece down Farmer
Browns boy held out more. Redhead
took IL. Somehow he couldn't fear
this giant who was so kind tn b;n,
80 ne ate and ate until he couldn't
swallow another crumb.

lie was such seemly young man,
so beautifully dressed and so familiar
with art and millionaires, that Mr.
Frankl's heart warmed to him. He
suggested that he take the tapestry
with him then and there for his aunt
to see.
And then:
When the dealer called up Rhine
lander 500 he was told that Mr.. Van
derlip had disappeared, and that agents
of the firm of Margoias Brothers were
in the house hunting for $500 worth of
rugs which had been sent on approval.
Yesterday Mr.. Frank visited the
house at Ii East Sixty-ffth Street. A
young man named Vanderlynn had oc-
cupied a room in the attic for $14 a
week, but had never had any trunk
there. He paid his board with checks
or bank in San Diego, Calf, and his
last business transaction, it was said,
had been to borrow $40 of the chamber
maid.
At Police Headquarters, where he
went with his lament, Mr.. Frank was
informed that his Mr.. Vanderlip re-
sembled the description of young
man who had been charming art OBJ
jects out of Fifth Avenue for some
time and was wanted on charge of
forgery.
Frank A. Vanderlip, former president
of the National City Bank, said last
night that he had no nephew.

Son and Companion Held
Detectives Say Woman Lured
Child to Auto With Candy
After Calling ON Parents

Frances Lococo, thirty-four years
old, of 2O3 Forsyth Street, midwife,
was arrested late yesterday afternoon
by Detectives Fiaschetti. Tregga and
Dardis, of the Italian squad, as a mate
rial witness in connection with the
kidnapping of six-year-old Giuseppe
Varotta, taken from mis- home at 354
East Thirteenth Street on May "a and
later found dead in the Hudson River.
Half an hour after the arrest of Mrs.
Lococo her son, Andrew Lococo, of the
same address, and Paul Bondi, twenty
three years old, a clothes presser, liv-
ing at 25 East Third Street, were taken
into custody also, ostensibly as wit
nesses in the case. Thirteen persons
have now been apprehended IN connec-
tion with the kidnapping.
According to information said to

cording to Fiaschetti Mrs. Lococo left
hurriedly and encountered the child
Giuseppe outside the house. After CIV
ing the boy candy, the detective says,
she placed him in the car and drove
off. From that moment the child was
never seen again alive by his parents
District Attorney Dineen began an
examination of the woman Immediately
after her arrest. Mrs. Lococo denied
that she had visited the Varottas on
the day of the kidnapine and asserted
her ability to prove an alibi.
According to the detectives, Mrs.
Lococo has police record, having
served prison term for possessing
narcotics: The boy, Andrew, is also
said to have served reform school
sentence. The second husband of Mrs.
Lococo is declared by the police to be

Detective Fiaschetti refused last
night to reveal the source of informa
tion upon which the arrests were made.
but declared that other persons now
known to have been connected with the
kidnapping would be taken into CUSTODY

Error i'm Evidence
Brother-in-Law Shot Him,
Says Charles Shannon,
and He Tried to Keep 1t
Secret to Shield Him

The tallibility of circumstantial evil
dence was demonstrated yesterday
when Charles Shannon, who has been
under technical arrest in ST. Vincent's
Hospital on suspicion Of being one of
three men shot at by Patrolman Kier-
nan after they had robbed a United
States Cigars Store, at Forty seventh
Street and Third Avenue, Wednesday
night, was informed that he was held
as one Of the robbers. Shannon estab-
lished an immediate and absolute
alibi.
Shannon staggered into St. Vincent's
Hospital Wednesday night an hour af-
tel Herman had fired at two of three
bandits who held up the cigar store
clerk and attempted to rob the safe. He
said he believed one of the men he fired
at had been hit. Later he viewed
Shannon in the hospital and identified
him as one OF the robbers.
When told by Detectives Cannon and
Shevlin, of the Charles Street station,
Of his implication in the robbery, Shan
non informed the officers that he had
been shot by his brother-in- law, John
A. Vaughn, of 321 West Eleventh
Street, who, he said, had come home in
a quarrelsome mood. Shannon said he
had tried to pacify Vaughn, who there
upon shot him. Wishing to avoid a
family scandal, Shannon said, he told
the hospital surgeons he had been 81. st
by an unknown man. He was willing
to protect his brotherinlaw to that ex-
tent, he said. but did not intend havir g
his name associated with robbery.
Investigation demonstrated the truth
of Shannon's story. Vaughn was late er
arrested and held in $1,000 bail by
Magistrate Francis S. Mancuse in the
Jefferson Market police court He will
be arraigned on July ID. Shannon is
said by the police to have a clean rec.
