Norrisown, Pa., Oct. 13 —The trial of Augysto Pasqunle on charges of kidnapping Blakely Coughlin,” later swindling the child’s father of $12,; 000 upon promise to restore the bnhy recalls one of the most daring and unscrupulous acts in criminal history. On the morning of June 2, the pub- lic'was informed that but a few hours earlier a stepladder has been placed agalnst the second story window of the Coughlin summer home in Curran Terrace and the 13 months old blue- eyed Blakely stolen. A littlewhimp- er had been heard by Mrs. George H. Coughlin, his mother, who asked her husband to go into the adjoining room to see whether Blakely was ill. Coughlin found the crib empty.: The ladder leaning against the house fur- nished the only evidence that it- was an act of premeditated kidnapping. Searching parfies were fmmediate- ly organized and the woods scoured. Finger prints were taken on an ex: tensive, scale. The County .Commis- sionery of Montgomery cournty offer- ed a reward of $1,600. The reward was increased the next day by Cough- 1in to $7,500. Pictures of the stolen baby were flashed on motion picture screens . in three states; while. large posters stuck prominently upon posts and fences announced the reward. Former employees and scores of sus- pects were arrested and detained for investigation. Letters demanding va- rious sums began .to pour into the Coughlin home from all parts of the country, some quoting innumerable passages of Scriptures, others advis- ing the Coughlins to study Spiritual- ism. Scores of telegrams from Chiefs of Police stated they were positive they had found Blakely and were holding the kidnappers. On the verge of collapse, June 10, Mrs. Coughlin made a- personal ap- peal to all women and children of the country. “If there is a strange haby in your neighborhood\ please, Oh, please! find out where he came, from for he may be my child!” A week of sleepless nights and father and mother were under the care of physi- cians. Four days later, ““The Crank” alias Pasquale, was heard from. I a let- ter postmarked Atlantic City, he told Coughlin Blakely was in his posses- sion, and would be returned to him for the sum of $6,000. Coughlin in i{nterview with the” press demanded a photograph and clothing worn by the child when kidnappea as proof. “The Crank’ 'became peeved by what he termed unnecessary delay, and penalized the father by dnubllng the amount of ransom. Coughlin asked the police to drop their work im the case, as he pre- ferred to deal with the alleged kid- napper alone, by means of inserting adverticements to which “the Crank’ invariably replied by teléphoning and: letter writing. Police warned that he would be swindled. Thursday, June 17th, found Coughlin at the end of his resources. Having faith in the “sportsmanlike qualities” of his corerspondent, he deposited $12,000 under an abandoned trolly station in Swedeville, three miles from here, the Monday night previous. He had waited three days for Blakely to be returned to him before making the result public. He was now discour- aged, he said and believed Blakely dead. The entire matter was again in the hands of police. Under the personal direction of Ma- jor ‘Lynn G.,Adams, superintendent of Stdte -Policé, Chief Eller of ‘the Norristown authorities and Captain Couder of the Philadelphia detective bureau, traps were 'laid for “thé rank.” Numbers of the $50 and 100 bills which made up the ransom were given to department store own- ers here and vicinity, with orders to hold anyone spending theth. Short- ly after, a ‘note was received from “the'Crank” demanding another $12,- 000 ransom. This demand, the writ- er said, was the result of a “misund- erstanding’ 'and intimated he should not be blamed for the disappearance of the ransom-money because the sec- ond part of the agreement was not fulfilled. Authorities adWMsed to tell the press he wad willing to negotiate with “the Crank” and that another $12.000 was available. July passed without event. The police worked cretly. On August 2, two months after the. ‘|Mice barracks. market,‘ bulk and lodged in the Lancaster state po- Copies of the corres- pondence he had with Coughlin were found in Pasquale’s possession which {1dentified 'him'as the swindler. Mraken to Philadelphia four days later, he was subjected to a continua- tion ‘0f a sleepless, nerve-breaking, ssthird-degree.” He admitted the baby ‘was -alive, and told authorities that unless -Blakely ‘was Teturned to his parents by the next day at 4 p. m,, Saturday, the seventh, he would “squeal” on his accomplices. Pas- quale’s ‘stories were conflicting and police had little hope that.he woui. reveal anything of material value. 10¢ |Four o'clock- Saturday passed. with Pasquale stoically“adhering to his or- iginal story which in substance, was that while he picked up the $12,000 ransom in Swedeville, he was not in any way connected with the kiunap- ping. He named !*Joe, the Coker” or “Joe Bamachuck,” a Russian Pole, as the stealer of Blakeley Coughlin. LI / 7 ‘Apparently baffled"in’their attempt to.wring from Pasquale the truth re- garding the kidnapping, “the Crank" was-removed to the Norristown jnu At a private hearing, Pasquale was charged -with' ‘blackmail, extortion and using the'mails ‘to defraud, and remanded to jail until the next term of ‘criminal court. ' Investigation of Pasquale’s private life after he ob- tained the ransom money disclosed he spent more than $6,000 in riotous living, witnesses testified. In_ addi- tion, a farm'in New Gretna, N. J.,’and a home in Philadelphia, and several thousand in bonds accounted for the balance of the $12,000.
