BOY IS KIDNAPPED
FOR SECOND TIME
Part of Gang Takes Child
From Original Abductors,
Chicago Police Say.
" the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSS.
CHICAGO, September 18.-Billy Ra-
nieri has been kidnapped and today was
hidden in a rendezvous so secret that
even allies of his original abductors
were unable to discover it.
Police, however, although baff1ed in
attempts to find the new hiding place,
said they had names of six or more men
implicated in the kidnapping episode.
Billy was alive, they said. after 13 days
in tn. hands of men believed to be
connected with other extortionist con-
spiracies. -
Not until yesterday did police receive
voluntary information from A. Frank
Ranieri, father of the 10-year-old host
age. He told how he had paid $4,000
saloonkeeper, held with two others on
kidnapping charges.
From relative of Petitto, police said,
they learned that Juliano Romano and
PaSQuale La Rocco were in charge OF
the boy. Fear of punishment had
caused orders to be issued that the lad
be freed, he said, but members of the
kidnapping clique were unable to notify
Romano and La Rocco.
BY piecing stories together, police
gathered that Romano and La Rocco
had taken the boy to new spot un-
known to their accomplices. Previous
messages indicated Billy was held In
El.nWood Park.
Three men were arrested last night
when they picked up decoy package
resembling currency left by police at
spot designated by instructions received
by Ranieri

CAPITAL TO FEEL
EDGE OF STORM
Rain and Big Drop in Tenn.
/. perature Expected Here
Tonight.

In the form Of heavy rain and strong
winds, Washington tonight will feel the
wrath of the Caribbean hurricane
which settled down over West Indian
waters four days ago and began its
destructive ride over nearly 1000 miles
of land and sea. leaving behind a
tremendous out still unknown toll of
death and property loss.
Spent of its greatest fury. the storm
today was roaring up the Atlantic
coastline a few miles off shore. Al
though little damage was reported from
coastal cities, the storm center carried
wind velocity estimated at 60 miles
an hour, while the shore cities reported
4O-mile -an-hour winds.
AS the storm passes Washington to-
morrow, several hundred of miles out
to sea, the city will be hit by accom-
panying gales, not expected to exceed
a velocity of 80 miles an hour.
Experts at the Weather Bureau said
the winds around Washington would
begin to freshen this afternoon. in
creasing gradually in strength as the
storm approached. BY tonight: the
temperature will have dropped 80 de-
and probably will hover between SO and
SIS degrees until after the storm has
blown itself out so far as this vicinity
is concerned.
WaShington's first taste of the storm,
1t is expected, will come in the form
of heavy rain this evening. Rain
fall probably will be continued tomOr-
row, the bureau believes.
