GRAND JURY HEARS
TEX RICHARDS CASE
POdbransky, Alias Podd, Is
Indicted on Charge of Kid
naping GaskO Girl.
PROMOTER ALSO ACCUSED
Prosecutor Seeks Indictment
on New Evidence Against
Boxing Manager.

Nathan Podbransky of 1907 Eigh-
yesterday on charge of kidnapping
Nellie Gasko, 13, who Is being held as 4
witness against Tex Richard. boxing
promoter. Immediately after the Grand
Jury had returned the indictment It
heard testimony relative to additional
charges against Rickard.
The kidnapping charge against Pod
bransky, alias Podd. is additional to the
bribery charge upon which he was ar
raigned and held Wednesday under s1o.-
900 bail. Ferdinand Pecora. Chief AS
sistant District Attorney, said the in
dictment was asked for after he had
talked with the Gasko girls parents. He
said it appeared that Podbransky had
taken Nellie to Wappingers Falls, where
he was arrested Tuesday, without the
knowledge of her family
When the Grand Jury failed to COM
plete the hearing in the case against
Rickard Supreme Court Justice Wasser-
vogel asked the jury to meet to-day
although not regular meeting day, as
the District Attorney had pressing mat
ters to present to 1t. Robert Apple
baum. foreman, said that quorum
would be present at IL o'clock.
The indictment which Mr.. Pecora Is
seeking against Rickard is distinct from
the charges recently made against him
by the Society for Prevention Of Cruelty
to Children in behalf of Alice Ruck,
which will be heard tomorrow morning
before Magistrate George w. Simpson in
West Side Court. 1t is understood that
t. xtAa mn
a story told to Mr. Pecora by Sarah
Schoenfeld, Is, of 90 Goerck street.
This girl. according to Mr.. Pecora. told
him she had gone alone and with Nellie
Gasko to the apartments at 20 and "a
West Forty-seventh street, where they
met Rickard.
The return of the kidnapping indict-
ment against Podbransky was an unex-
pected move in the complicated pro-
ceedings that have developed in the
Rickard case. When Nellie Gasko was
traced from her home at 725 Ocean
Parkway, Brooklyn, to a farm near
Wappingers Falls and there found with
Podbransky it was not known that her
parents were ignorant of her where
abouts. Later interviews between Mr..
and Mrs. Martin Gasko and Mr.. Pecora
proved that the girl had been located
through ruse practiced upon Mrs.
Podbransky and not upon the girls
mother, as originally announced. The
girl is said to have stated that both
Podbransky and Rickard warned her TO
keep quiet about the case
According to Mr.. Pecora, the kidnapping
charge will be pressed against the former
strikebreaker. He is to have a hearing
to-day before Justice Wasservogel in the
Justices private chambers on the charge
of bribing and threatening Nellie Gasko.
His arraignment on the more serious
charge also was set for to-day before
Justice Wasservogel.
