Gelell that SO far as he knows the
kidnapers received nothing. Adler

also was kidnapped, had nothing to
say. The three men, blindfolded
were put out Of automobiles at scpar-

driven by Albino, at the Frolics abou,
$3.50 Thursday morning and drove Il
Adlcr's home. As Adler stepped ou,
eight masked men, armed with sawed
off shot guns, forced him to re-
enter the automobile. Adler, Gelel
