NEW YORK, Dec 28-A body blow..

to kidnapping bands who have been working in this and other cities was administered by Judge Fawcett in county court in Brooklyn today, when, after unmercifiilly scoring Maria liappa and Stanisias Pattenza as a menace to the community and deserving of the death penalty, the court gave thein the maxium sen- tence of from twenty~five to forty- ninc years and ten months in State prison.

'l`liey were convicted recently ln

flliick trials of having abducted and held in captivity eight-year-old Giu- seppe Longo and Michael Rizaa, sev- en-year-old son of well-to-do Brook- lyn Italians. The Longo boy was kid- napped on Nov. 19 last and a few

‘lays later the Rizzo chiiri disappear-

ed. The Longo boy’s parents soon re- ceived a letter demanding $15,000 for the return of their child.

The case being put into the hands

of Deputy Police Commissioner Flynn

a clue was obtained to the wherea-

bouts of the supposed kidnappers and in a. sensational raid on a house in East 63rd street, the Longo child was found and ten prisoners were made, two of them women. Little Giuseppe Longo was the chief witness against both prisoners at their trials. The 'prosecution alleged that Pattenza was the chief of the kidnapping band and that Maria Rapp was one of his most important aides.

In sentencing the Rapp woman Judge Fawcett said he regretted that he could not impose the death penal ty, which would be none too severe, He declared that she must be lacking every instinct of a mother. Pattenza was given a similarly severe scoring, which he took cooly. The woman pri- soner through an interpreter dis- claimed connection with the kidnapp ling, but the court declared thai' her ~story was not worthy of the slight- est credit. The announcement of the sentence was well received by the big crowd, chiefly composed of foreign- |ers, which filled the court room and corridors.

BUSTUN NEWS

Well, Christmas is farther away

than ever! Yes, and it's a safe het that the maiority of young fellows will be living on beans for the next six months trying to catch up with themselves. I can sympathize with them. I heard of a man who threw his pocketbook away into the crowd of busy Christmas shoppers on Wash- ington Street and then jumped in front of a street car. The poor fol- low had been trying to figure out ,how he was going to buy seventy- ,three presents with $2.98. No wond- »er he gave up in despair.

S C U

About the end of November I sat

down and made out a. list of the peo- ple I wanted to give something to ,for Christmas. There were ninety- six besides the janitor and elevator boy, to whom I have to give some- thing to or my life will be made in- tolerable for months to come. And up to last Friday night I had not bought onn present, but had racked my brain to find a way to cut that. list down. The first of the month I had it down to sixty-one, a week la- ter I had pulled it down to seven- teen, and last Friday at midnight I had it down to seven, and Saturday morning I hocked my watch and bought the janitor a box of rotton cigars and the elevator boy a red necktie. Have you ever been there?

U C U

_No use talking, this Hattie Le- Blanc has 'cm going, up here. Mon- ey, clothes, furs, and society events, were all her's when the court said, "You may go." Strange how some people can jump into the limelight in one night while others fight for a _ lifetime, and then don't win out. She is coming hack- to Boston in Febru- ary, "Where them is life," so _she says.; Well, if I had my choice, West Arichat or Charlestown l'rlson, the prison for me. Absolutely no compa- rison.

I was ln need of a very quick lunch

-one day last week and stepped into -“(lhild's Restaurant" on Washington Street, and I counted sixteen girls from Charlottetown and its neaiyvi- cinity. They own this place by divine right.

I suppose that the mail service be-

Someone of my very good friends

has informed me that automobiles ure r,\cluded from the "Garden of the Gulf." How about that? Will some `kind individual tell me why they are kept on the mainland aide? Some one is choking a goose that would lay s golden egg for everyone in P. E. Island. -

Why-,don't the Charlotte-town boys

send a hockey team up to the Bost- on Areua and show these "Mute" how to play the game. Make an ex- cursion, bring some good skater and' get some money. Nothing to it. Billie Merrit from St. John is the least they can do here.
