Keenan, outlined these rules
which he urged should be followed
by families from which a person
has been kidnapped:
81. Let the bureau of investiga-
tion know about the kidnapping
right away. Don't write, but tele-
phone or telegraph US. There's no
sense in giving the kidnapers one
Or two days start on us.
"2. Rest assured that we will
guard your secret zealously. We
are going to try to establish COW
erant of secrecy with every FAM
ny that is victimized by kidnapers
80. If you have any advance
knowledge Of the kidnapping, give
US that, too. BY that 1 mean If
you receive threatening letters, get
IN touch with federal agent
quickly.
"a. Remember we are just as
anxious as you are to get the VIC
tim back alive and well. That's
pur first consideration. After that
we tackle the job of running down
The kidnapers.
IS. Save every scrap Of evidence
you have. If the X lnapers leave
clues, don't disturb them.
sc. Don't talk to friends about
the kidnapping"
Dread of the O'Connells
Albany, N. Y. July 14-(UP)--
The kidnap gang that abducted
John J. O'Connell, Jr, heir to the
powerful O'Connell political en-
pire. tortured his family today by
refusing to enter into negotiations
for his return.
Observers believed the kidnapers
were deliberately adding to the
anxiety of the youths relatives
hoping thereby to obtain a higher
ransom. A payment of $25O.OOG
was demanded in one of the com
munications received before the
gang broke off contact. and sum
between $4,000 and $4,000 In
small bills was in an OConnel
safety deposit box awaiting instruc-
lions from the gang.
The youths uncles, Daniel r
and Edward l., bosses of the up
state democratic machine, and his
father remained at their tele'
phones, hoping for word any mo-
ment. An O'Connell henchmar
made trips to Daniels postoffice
lock box where the previous COM
munications were received, every
half hour.
The O'Connell family would
have nothing to do with police &C
fiyities, but federal agents and New
York detectives were active here
and in the Catskills, hoping to find
the hideaway where young O'Con-
nell is held. District Attorney
John r.. Delaney said he was con.
Quoting his own investigation, ane
had questioned several persons,
Including a man who may have
been the "finger man" who pointed

they were and said they were no

week ago. The abductors asked
that O'Connells insert an adver-
tisement in either the New York
World Telegram, New York Sun. or
the New York Journal this after
noon, naming new prospective
emissaries.
The letter, received by Daniel
O'Connell this morning, was signed
by young John himself. 1t was
substantially the same as the let
ter received on Tuesday, rejecting
the first list of Intermediates.
In the letter. the parents were
assured again that the kidnapped
young man was alright"
The new list Of Intermediates
was drafted Immediately by
Daniel O'Conne11 and young Johns
father. and sent to New York city.
1t was not revealed whether the
courier, or by telephone or tele-
graph. Persons close to the fam
lily assured the United Press the
list would appear in the afternoon
editions of the New York city
newspapers.
The same code, or similar one,

tisement, 1t was revealed.
The O'Connells would not COM
ment upon reports that the kid
napers may have been contacted in
or near New York city.
The new instructions of the kid
napers that the advertisement be
printed in New York newspapers
led to belief the gangsters were in
that vicinity.
1t was the first word the family
had had from the kidnapers in al
most IL hours. The last communi-
cation, also a letter, had instructed
Daniel O'ConnelI to draft another
list of possible contact men be-
cause the first list was "unsatisfac-
tory"
The new communication brought
renewed hopes to members of the
O'ConneIl family. Fear that the
kidnapers had been frightened by
the concentration of federal. state
and municipal authorities previous
ly was expressed.

The New List
New York, July 14.-(UP)-The
search for John .O'Connell, Jr,
was concentrated in New York
to-day when advertisements in New
York newspapers offered q new
list of Intermediates with whom
the kidnapers could make con-
tact.
The new lists were published in
response to instructions in a note
received in Albany by Daniel o.
Connell. political leader, uncle of
the kidnapped man.
Dear Rex: l am in New York"
the messages printed in code, said
when translated. please get in
touch with x X' and then fol-
lowed the new Intermediates, the
names in some cases duplicating
among the three afternoon news
papers in which they were pub
lished, and in other cases differ
ing.
The new intermediates were
Charles Wachter, Troy beer distri-
butor; Tommy Condi, Nanny
Sbrewel, Al Friedman, Sylvester
Hess, a friend Of the late Jack
Legs" Diamond, Fred Romer,
Terry Riley, an Albany ward poll
tician, william Martin, who signed
one Of the advertisements but was
only mentioned as an Intermediary
in the other, Manning Stroll, ex-
ecutive of the Port Orange Distri-
buting Co, Inc, a beer distributor.
In addition, one advertisement was
signed by Tom Tyndall, an Albany
sportsman.
The code, as in previous mes
sages published in Albany, con-
sisted of a simple use Of figures
for letters of the alphabet.
1t was not known whether all
the Intermediates, nearly all of
whom come from upstate, were
already in New York.
Rumors have circulated for sew
eral days that Young O'Connell
was being held in New York city
or its immediate neighborhood.
The transfer Of the scene of pros
pective negotiations to the city
added to the belief that the abb
ductors probably were either New
York gangsters, or up-staters with
city connections, who believed they
could find greater safety in city
hideaways than in the open coun-
try OF the Catskills.
Alton, Ill, July 14.-(UP)-Re-
ceipt Of several notes purporting to
be from kidnapers Of August Luer,
77-year old banker and packer,
was announced to-day by the two
intermediates appointed by the
Luer family.
The Intermediates, o. S. Gait
and Lawrence Keller, said they
were not certain the notes were
genuine. They did not reveal the
content of the notes but said they
were mot entirely satisfactory"
Luer, bank president and owner
of a packing company, was dragged
from his home Monday evening by
two well dressed men and an at
tractive woman. Since then no
authenticated word has been re-
ceived from him.
