Secret Life
Clue in Death

Possibility that Isidoro Maniaci,
63-year-old fruit wholesaler was
bounded by blackmailers before
he was taken for a ride and his
riddled body dumped in front of
4l36 Iroquois entered the murder
investigation today
This theory originated, police
said, when his family revealed
that from time 10 time, without
explanation, he would draw prac-
tically all his funds from the
bank. There were no protests,
police said, because the family
felt it was his money and his
business.
THROWN FROM CAR
Maniaci was shot several times
in a speeding automobile which
was stopped long enough for the
gunman TO toss his body 10 the
curb, leave the car, fire a coupe
de grace" into the prone form,
leap back into the car and speed
away. He lived at 1902 Fischer.
Strength was given TO the
blackmail theory by the fact that
the fruit wholesaler was planning
10 turn over his Detroit business
TO his son, Philip, 21, and to set
up shop in California. Police
said he had even shipped one OF
his trucks to the coast for the
purpose.
Detroit members of his family
had not seen nor heard from
Maniaci since July 6 when he
drew So 900 from a bank and set
out for Los Angeles. The money
was to be used to buy a business
there but the deal failed.
CAME EAST THURSDAY
Peter, another son, living in
Los Angeles, revealed his father
left there last Thursday, appar-
entity with the $1,000, although
only S130 was found in his pock-
cts after the Staying Police,
however, say robbery was not the
motive.
Inspector John o. Whitman re-
vealed that Maniaci travelled by
train from Los Angeles to Chicago
and then by bus to Detroit, ar
irving several hours before the
ride" murder.
A parcel check found in the
slain mans pocket led 10 the re-
covery of a bag he had checked
at the Greyhound terminal upon
his arrival, indicating he had no
intention OF going home imme-
diately. police said.

the Balfour Declaration embodied
in the mandate granted to Great
