] SUBMIT NEW LIST OF INTERMEDIARIES Connell Family Meets De- mands of Kidnapers in Albany Case. __(Continued From First Page.) Justice at Washington arrived in Al- bany last night for the purpose of working on the case. This followed a plea made in Washington last night by Senator Royal S. Copeland, New York Democrat, that Department of Justice agents be assigned to the in- ‘vestigation. “Since John left school he has been every where with Dan. His two uncles feel like fathers toward him, and any threat of harm to him strikes at them deeply.” Young O'Connell also has been en- gaged in the beer business, as an officer of the Hedrick Brewery. Samuel E. Aronowitz, president of the brewery, is law partner of Ed O'Connell. H The actual kidnaping continued to be shrouded in mystery today, as the uncles and members of the family stead- | fastly refused to give out any informa- tion. Because of warnings that young! O’'Connell, a powerful thiete, would be killed if police were informed of the Xidnaping, neither newspapers nor po- lice obtained verification of the kidnap reports until 7 o'clock last night. Two Versions of Kidnaping. Two versions of the kidnaping were | heard: One was that O'Connell was overpowered as he stepped from his car at his home, about 1:15 a.m., Fri- day. The other was that two men ac- | costed him with revolvers about 12:40 am., Friday, as he dined with a young ‘woman friend in a South Pearl street beer garden, and forced him to go with them. Meanwhile 11 intermediaries named by the O'Connells waited at their cus- tomary haunts for some sign or_com- ‘munication from the kidnapers. It was Teported definitely that no message has et come from the abductors. John J. jr., is the only son of John J., | one of the three brothers who dominate | ‘the Democratic_organization of Albany | and Albany County, and the only| nephew of Daniel P. and Ed.

Te-| ceived on Priday was the first infor-| mation that young O'Connell was held for ransom y | “Tell Eddie that we've got his nephew | and that he will hear from us” a muffled voice advised Aronowitz. “If| he tells the police we'll kill him.” A letter was received during the | | the previous threat with last night's Kidnaping Is Big Business (Copyright. 1933, by the Assoclated Press.) NEW YORK, July 11—Kidnapers, operating throughout the United States, | have sought at least $650,000 from vic- tims’ families and friends in the last five months. * They haven't received that sum— probably. No one knows. But the| racket has paid them more t a quarter of a million dollars in that| time. Every law-enforcing power in the | country, from private detectives to the | turn of his son Jerome, but now a gang President of the United States, has| taken an interest in the wholesale pro- ceedings, which steadily have increased | in scope. Here, in brief, are the kidnap de- mands of only the most notorious cases | of the last five months: | Charles Boettcher II, Denver, Feb- | ruary 12, $60.000. . | Jerome Factor, Chicago, April 15, $50.000. ; | Peggy McMath, Harwichport, Mass., v, Kansas City, May 27, $30.000. | William Hamm, St. Paul, June 15, $100,000. | John Factor, Chicago.

Mary McEiroy’'s kidnapers were caught— at least authorities think they got them all—and some of the money was recov- ered. Some of Boettcher's kidnapers and some of the ransom were taken by police. John “Jake the Barber” Factor beasted he paid no ransom for the re- is supposed to be holding “the Barber,” vhile the son anxiously tries to effect his release. Hamm’s ‘friends, who paid a ransom, said they didn’t pay all that was de- manded, but they haven't said how much they did pay. O’Connell’s relatives say they can't possibly raise the quarter of a million dcllars his captors demand, but they'll do their best. The kidnapers haven't even told Mrs. Luer how much she will have to pay to see her husband alive again. That's only part of a five-month rec- ord of kidnapings.

McCoy, 25. is being held in the Law- rence County Jail at Ironton pending further investigation, it was said. and | Baldwin in the jail at Portsmouth, Ohio. Chief of Police Ben South of Wil- mington, said the men were peing held for questioning because stories they told | of giving a_ride to a girl hitch-hiker answering Miss Buckley's description did not tally. No formal charge has been placed againsé either, however, he added.

C.. TUESDAY, MAINS ARE TERMED MENACE T0 BRIDGE Breakage Would Also Cut Off Arlington Water, Says Maj. Arthur. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va. July 11.—The possible breakage of the two 8-inch mains running across Chain Bridge to furnish water to Arlington County is considered a serious menace to the safety of the Virginia abutment of the bridge as well as to the welfare of the water users of Arlington County, it_was declared today by Maj, J. D.| Arthur, jr., district engineer for the United States War Department.* Contradicting an impression among | Arlington County officials that the| breaks in the lines referred to in a re- | cent letter had occurred before the | construction of a mew main down Mili- | tary road last year, Maj. Arthur today | referred to the log at the Dalecarlia Reservoir, which shows six broki flanges have been discovered and re prired within the past month. Six Flanges Broken. ‘The log shows that there gere two broken flanges on the upstream line on June 12, two broken flanges on the downstream line on June 13 and two broken flanges on the downstream line | June 23. ‘The present situation. Maj. Arthur declared, is very unsatisfactory to the War Department, which believes im-| mediate steps should be taken to rectify a “dangerous” situation. In case both 8-inch mains should break at the same time, Maj. Arthur said, there is grave danger of washing out the abutment on the recently re- paired Chain Bridge. The danger was explained at the plant in this way: If there is a break in either or both of these lines, the only indication of it would be a dropping in the third-high reservoir, from which Arlington County receives its water, and the break would not be apparent quickly enough to turn off the flow and save the abutment be- cause of the terrific force which the water is pumped through the main. ‘The Arlington County mains, it was ex- plained, are tapped into a larger city main, hence only a part of the water | from the third-high reservoir would be | diverted to the broken mains. Maj. Arthur said his letter to the Arlington County authorities was based upon facts furnished him by officials at the reservoir just before he wrote | the letter and that the situation as it exists at the present tyme has nothing | to do with previous reports to the county on tie overworked mains across the bridge. | Pressure Exceeds Limit. [ It was pointed out that these two! mains are designed to carry 150 pounds pressure and that they are now Carry- ing up to 220 pounds. The War Department has prepared and submitted to the county a preposal | to construct a new 24-inch main across | the Potomac River at the Chain Bridge, but not on it, Maj. Arthur said, at a cost of approximately $40.000, and is| very anxious for Arlington County to| procure the funds with which to do the work before serious trouble de- velops that might cut the entire water | supply off from the countyefor a long period. | Dr. Fordney is prcfessor of criminology at a famous university.
