successfully to extort $4,000 ransom

had statements from this man-Andrew
Capellano-and from others which not
only detailed Capellanos part in the
affair, but named others, including the
actual kidnapers.

With this information, the authorities
said, they had evidence which they ex-

of terrorism which has kept hundreds
of Chicago Italians in fear for their
lives over a period of many months.

of brother near Herrin, ILL.,, yesterday
Statements he was reputed to have
made to arreSting officers were so Signi-
ficant, according to Assistant States

me they'd bump me Off if 1 refused
to keep him"
Questioning of Capellano and men,
berS of his family developed further
evidence which police were prepared to
use in SubStantiation of their aSser-
ton that John Perconfi, who is under
arrest, was one of the two actual kid
napers of Billy Ranieri.
Mrs. Capellano and her son told of
acting as jailers of the boy, but both
said they were under threats.

Tony denies knowing the boy was on
the farm. Billy told the policeman he

PUNJAB NOT IN DANGER
 FROM THREATENED DAM

SIMLAP, Punjab. (R .-.. The Punjab government has received official word that the reports of the bursting of the glacial dam at Kashmer, on the Shyok river were erroneous.
 It was indicated by the first re- port that the glacier had given way. and the report was based on fire seen in that neighborhood from distance, but which later turned out to be the beacon lights of a train, and coincided with a guess at the time when the glacier would give way.
 Flood waters have been forming back of the glacier since 1926, and
