the Edgewater and Cliffside police, he
was returning in the Barrett company s
car from the Hudson Trust Company
with two armed guards and a chauffeur
when larger automobile containing
two men came up from behind and
forced them into a ditch at the side OF
the road.
As soon as their car stopped, Dawson
said, three men jumped out of the
bushes. firing one shot which passed
through the windhield and covering the
guards with their pistols. They took the
satchel containing the payroll and cut
the electric wiring on Dawsons car,
rendering it useless. Then they jumped
into their own car and disappeared in
the direction of West New York.
A general alarm was flashed to the
police OF every town in northern New
Jersey. Although the description fur
nished of the bandits was meagre. Chief
kean of Cliffside said he hoped to trace
their car. 1t was a black Hupp touring
car. Dawson said. and bore New York

1t had occurred he was unable to tell
exactly how the money had been taken
The branch moved it's offices from
jackson avenue in Long Island City to

he believed the money had been stolen
in the course of the moving. Its loss
was not discovered until the day after
the new branch had been opened.

car, driven BY Mr.. Stafford. when three
highwaymen. armed with revolvers,

and commanded them to halt.
They were very polite" said Miss
Stafford. "and did not search us. They
only took what we had in our handbags.
Then they told us to go on"

VAROTTA MURDER
CASE UP TUESDAY
Five Alleged Kidnappers and
Slayers of Boy to Get
Speedy Trial.
CONFESSIONS TO FIGURE
Two Believed to, Have Been
Principals in the Plot Still
at Large.

The case OF the five men under in
dictnent for the kidnapping and murder
of Giuseppe varotta. it was announced
yesterday at the Office OF Acting District
Attorney Joab II. Banton will come up
Tuesday before Judge Alfred j. Talley
in General Sessions. Following the an
nouncement-in THE NEW YORK HERALD
yesterday morning that the prosecution
OF the men might not be pushed until
late in the fall, the case was summarily
moved up on the calendar. with every
assurance of a speedy trial.
When the case comes up special
jury probably will be sought, with the
result that the case vii go to trial on
the following Monday. George Brothers.
Assistant District Attorney. will have
charge of the prosecution, though Mr..
Banton himself may take a hand. De-
tective Sergeant Michael Fiaschetti OF
the Italian Squad, who had charge OF
the case for the police, conferred yes
terday with the District Attorney.
The District Attorneys Office believes
that 1t has a good case against the men.
Some of them are said to have con-
fessed after their arrest that they were
a part of the band of kidnappers and
that they wrote the threatening letters.
These confessions" probably will figure
prominently in the trial of the case.
Intense indignation was aroused by
the case Of the Varotta boy, who was
stolen in front of his home In East Thir-
teenth street on May "a. His body was
found In the Hudson River on June IL.
The kidnappers had demanded $4,000
from the boys father, Salvatore Varotta,
who was far from wealthy.
Two other men. believed to have been
responsible for the actual murder, are
under indictment but have not been cap
tured. The case is considered unique
because 1t is the first kidnapping in this
city IN which the threats of death were
carried out.
Counsel for the defendants will include
Snitkin and Goodman OF 293 Broadway.
and Joseph Rosalsky. The defendants.
all OF whom are under indictment both
for kidnapping and murder in the first
degree. are John Milchionne, Robert Raf-
faelo. Antonio Marino. Santo Consumano
