Errors by Criminals
Lead 10 Arrest Of 7
Youths in Burglary

A series Of underworld errors
led police to the capture of two
16-year-old boys who broke into
a liquor store and stole $225 this
morning.
The capture climaxed q foot
chase in which police fired two
shots in an effort to halt one of
the youths.
The first error came when two
men tried to break into a gro-
Gerry at 1920 Central avenue NE.
They picked the wrong door and
broke into an apartment where
the alarmed occupants called
police. The men escaped.
Detective Sergts. Joseph D.
Loughrin and James K. Mccarthy
sped out Benning road NE. to
investigate. AS they passed
Benning Liquola Inc, at 3445
Benning road. the burglar alarm
there sounded.
Two Youths Sighted.
The detectives braRed to a
halt. Sergt. McCarty raced to
the rear of the store in time to
. see two youths dropping from the
roof. He chased one and Sergt.
Loughrin chased the other.
Sergt. McCarty fired two shots
as he ran. THAT just made
him run faster" the sergeant
said. But the fugitive made an
error when he tried to run be-
tween two houses and encoun-
tered a fence.
Sergt. McCarty caught Bobby
B. Wright. 16. coIored, of the
$500 block of Clay terrace NE,
covering against the fence, and
found $181 in his pockets.
The youth fleeing Sergt. Lough-
rim, meantime. made good his
escape and hid out in the Ana
costa River flats. Later, how
ever. police arrested Bradford
Silas. jr., 16, colored, of the $500
block of Eads street NE, at his
home, and recovered another
$42.75.
Police said the youths told
them they originally intended
entering a grocery. but decided
the liquor store would be more
lucrative.
Noted Burglar Alarm.
They noted that the store was
wired with a burglar alarm. and
so went up to the roof and broke
through the skylight, which was
not wired. AS they got ready
to leave. however, they erred.
They tried to get out through
a rear door. and tripped the
burglar alarm just as the po-
licemen were passing. They
grabbed a ladder and went out
through the roof again, and the
chase began.
Police said Wright has a ju-
venile record for last year, in
cluding making threats. disord-
erly conduct, and two charges
of petty larceny.
Silas, they said, is a fugitive
from Blue Plains. His juvenile
record, dating back to 1851, in
cludes truancy, disorderly con-
duct, assault, and carrying an
illegal weapon.

a cover up"
Jackson and Lear glared at
.newsmen as they were led into
the crowded press room at the
Hall of Justice.
Ransom Letters Received.
Here is the way the case de-
veloped:
Leonard Moskovitz left his Of
flee on Geary street at II am.
Saturday to keep several busi-
ness appointments. He didn't
keep any of them.
Five hours later his family
called the Missing Persons Bu-
reau. Almost simultaneously a
special delivery ransom demand
arrived at the fathers home in
the exclusive Seacliff district
overlooking the Golden Gate.
The letter, in Leonard's hand
writing. told of demands for
$500,000 and gave directions to
contact negotiations through the
personal column of the Exam
iner.
The father Immediately called
police and the biggest San Fran
cisco manhunt in two decades
was under way. It turned up
Leonard's car Sunday in a down.
town public garage, but there
were no immediate developments.
Ransom Call Traced.
Late Sunday night a second
special delivery note asked the
family to hurry ransom arrange
mentS.
Police traced the first ransom
call from a telephone booth in
the mission district and all off,
GERS had been instructed to pick
up any one using the booth.
Two inspectors cruising in the
area spotted Lear talking on the
telephone and made the arrest,
Mr.. Lynch said. He called it "a
natural"
Just after noon yesterday, a
man telephoned the elder Mos
kovitz' home. The caller asked
for Allie" who is Leonard's twin
brother and business partner
Alfred.
How much can you raise by
midnight tomorrow night?" the
caller asked. Get $500, 900.
"The kid is sick. We want
to get rid of him" Then he
hung uD.
Third Letter Received.
Two and a half hours later, a
third special delivery letter, again
in Leonard's handwriting, gave
instructions for assembling $780,
600 and told OF threats to mutt
late Mr.. Moskovitz.
Mr. MoSkovitz' wife, Lesley,
and their two sons, David. 4
and Michael 6, went into seclu-
sion with other family members
at the elder Moskovitz' home.
Police and FB1 agents were in
the house and kept the neigh
borhood under surveillance.
LeOnard'S home is in suburban
Burlingame.
The family said all the ram
som notes were in Leonard's
handwriting.
In response to the notes the
family placed ads in the Exam
liner. The ads said the family
was unable to raise the ransom
money as demanded.
Police were assisted in the
case by FBI agents as observers,
rather than participants. Regu-
lations preclude the FBI from
coming officially into a case
until seven days after kidnap-
ing, or until there are indica-
tions the kidnapers crossed State
lines.
The last kidnapping for ran
som in the San Francisco area
was in 1910. when 3-year-old
Marc de Tristan. jr.. was alb
Quoted from his home in exclus-
i've suburban Hillsborough. The
kidnaper demanded and was
paid $4,000 by the boys father,

The boy was returned un-

Fairmont Hotel. to some Of his
friends in Israel. My uncle and
aunt are leaving In few weeks

when the two men saw that
letter, they said, Tt looks like

"They made several references
to my father being a Golden
Gate Bridge director and a big
shot. I tried to impress on them
that just didn't have money
like that-$5000 0000-but- they
seemed to be in a hurry for their
money and wanted me to start
writing letters demanding ran
som.
"The first letter they dictated
was so gruesome I pleaded with
them not to use those words. I
told them the shock Of my being
missing would be enough for my
family without referring to dis
figuring me-"
During all this conversation,
the younger of the two men. Jo-
seph Lear, kept referring to "the
big boss"
Mr.. Moskovitz said Lear told
him the boss was "a terrifying
creature who would stop at
nothing. :"
Il succeeded in persuading
them to let me make a few
changes in the note. Then they
took me into the bedroom and
tied me down-shackling me
with rope. They put an adhe-
sive gag over my mouth and lit
tie plugs in my ears.
However, they were very con-
siderate Of my bathing and eat
ing habits. They even apologized
for lack Of Silverware. All they
gave me to eat were beans and
cheese and cold cuts except for
some fruit which they bought
later at my request.
"At no time did they beat me
or use physical violence.
"On the second day they blind
folded me and were really sore
when the answer appeared in
the paper saying the $500, 900
couldn't be raised.
They threatened me again.
Later they said they talked
with the big boss. who said he
would be willing to come down
to 100000. but not a penny
less
They made me write three
other letters. The first explained
how the ransom should be hand
ed over. They planned that my
father or brother should take
the 7:45 pm. Starlight (South-
ern Pacific train) to Los Angeles
and they were to stand on the
rear platform of the last Sleep
ing car with the. money in a
suitcase. At some point, there
would be signal red light
and green light flashing on and
off for about IS seconds.
"On this signal, the person
would toss the bag with the
money of the train.
Another note-if the signal
was missed-instructed the same
procedure on the return train to
San Francisco.
"At this point I used whatever
salesmanship I had to point out
the fallacies Of this plan, but it
was not until 3 pm. Monday

to contact my brother. who could

Macarthur Defends
Use Of Japanese
For Minesweeping
BY III. Associated Pres.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Gen.
Douglas Macarthur took issue
today with a japanese report
that he used japanese mine
sweepers in Korean war landing
operations at Wonsan, Korea. in
! 1850.
The former Far East COM
mander said the minesweepers
were used to clear suspected old
Japanese mines from Wonsan
and other waters in accordance
with terms Of the Japanese sur
render and that they were not
involved in belligerent action.
He said that, on the contrary,
their activities were entirely
humanitarian" and that there
was no more secrecy involved
than is normal in such opera
tionS.
Violation Charged.
The Tokyo newspaper Sangyo
Keizai had quoted the resigned
commander of Japan's Coast
Guard. Sanjo Oku, as saying the
use of the vessels constituted a
violation of international law.
Gen. Macarthur said, in a
statement at his Office here:
japanese minesweeperS were
used to clear Wonsan Harbor
against suspected old japanese
mines laid against the American
Navy during the latter phases of
World War II.
From the close of the war, in
accordance with the terms. of
surrender. they had been clear
ing the Sea of Japan and other
waters contiguous to the Jap
anese islands and its former pos
sessions such as Korea of such
mines.
Performance Praised.
"They performed this duty ably
and gallantly. There was no
violation of international or
japanese law; quite the con-
! trary.
Their action involved no bel
ligerency. It was entirely hu-
manitarian. There was no Sc
crecy with reference to the mat
! ter except that normal to such
operations.
The japanese newspaper said
yesterday that Gen. Macarthur
used the minesweepers in an am
phibious landing operation by
United States marines at Won
san on October 26, 1850.
The newspaper said the opera
ton had been kept secret with
all members of the Coast
/ Guard instructed to say nothing
| about it..

Studies Set
For Family
Supper Group

The Wednesday evening Family
Club at the Church of the Rock
has proven so popular that the
families will study for the next few
weeks what Religion means to
me-" From now until Easter this
group will consider such subjects
as "What is Religion" Search for
Deity" False Concepts Of God, !"
and similar topics. This gives the
congregation an opportunity to ask
questions and clarity any problem
which may concern them.
The early Sunday morning wor-
ship service continues to elicit
most favorable reports. Those who
have attended this service find it
especially inspirational. The atmo--
sphere in Gods out-of-doors lends
not only color but a special near
ness to our Creator not found in
the most beautiful cathedral. One
can understand why the ancients
found God in nature and future
generations are finding it hard to
understand him as Spirit. An
other advantage in the Outdoor
DRIVEN Theatre Is that families
can sit in their cars. rain or shine
and worship God with others.
The Rev. Mr.. Rogers, Of the
Church of the Rock, will bring the
message Sunday morning at the
early worship service. He has eho-
sen as his subject, THE Net
Worth Of a Neutral" In interna-
tional controversies a neutral
might be helpful In adjusting diff
ferences and on the other hand
7 they may be over-run by some AZ
gressive power and become en-
shaved for centuries. Religiousiy, Z
