Sole Support of Invalid Father and Entire Family, He Lost His Position and Had to Scramble for Odd Jobs, ‘While his bedridden father, his feeble old mother, his little sister and hin fit- ten-year-old brother aro festitute in @ bare, cold tenensent at No. 221 East Seventy-third street, Thomas Langan, nineteen years old, their only support, fs confined in a cell in Ludlow Streot Jail for ten days because he wis un- able to pay $12.50 fine imposed by the Delinquency Court of the Ninth Regl- ment, in which the boy was a private. This fine was imposed because he failed to attend drills. Had this Court inquired why young Langan had failed to attend drills !t could have learned that while the black marks for delin- quency were being. scored against him he was struggling to earn enough money to keep those dependent. upon him at home from starvation. It could also have Jearned that, struggle as he might, he was barely able to keep the Uttle family in food and shelter. It could have learned that his clothes ‘were ragged and worn, and his pride ose up and choked him at the thought of the sad appearance he would make among his comrades in the regiment. |* Wanted Be a Soldier, “singe J was a little boy,” said Lan- gan to an Evening World reporter who visited him’in his cell to-day, “I had an ambition to become a soldier. 1 wanted to join the army and become a Tegular,-but fotr years ago my. father met with an accident in which ‘one\of the valves of his heart was injured. Since then he has been unable to rise from hig bed. I had, to give up my ambition then, leave school and work for those at home. Until four months ego I had a good job with a printing establishment. 5 “Sast June, when everything looked to be going well, I enlisted as a private in the Ninth Regiment. It cost little or nothing, and you don’t know how proud I felt in my uniform. Of course 1 wanted to be a fegular, but there were mother and father and the kids, and I knew it would not be right for me to leave home. “Four months ago the printing place shut down and I was thrown out of a Job. It looked awful black for us then, for mother was too ill to do anything. and even the pennies counted a lot. 1 worked on odd jobs and managed to scrape up enough to barely keep us from starving. ‘Then I got @ job work= ing nights and I could not ko to the armory.” It wasn't much of a job, ‘but it sort of kept us together, and I didwt feel as 1 ought to chuck it up to go to drills, Afraid of §: “Then when I could go my clothes looker so ragged that 1 didn’t feel like going up there among the other follows with their nice clotues and perhaps their sneers at mine. ‘The officers suy at was wrong fo feel that way,’ but 1 don't see how a chap could teel very different, “God knows how they will get along at home for the next ten days while I'm locked up in this piace, ior they haven't anything and no one to help PS ith m, Here the boy bravely fought back the tears, but could not tepress a cuoxing sob us he went on: “It don't seem right to lock a fellow up ina cell when he don't know whether or not his people are starving." When an Kvening ‘World’ reporter called at the Langan home he found the family in a pitiful stato of destitu- tion. ‘There was no one*dn the cold, bare rooms but the old father, streto! on a rickety bed ned put scantily cover- ed from the chill. There was no fire in the place nor any fuel to make one, and a few crumbs of dread and a broken plate testified to the frugality of the morving’s repast. Mother Looking for Work. “The wife Ix out looking for work,” said Mr, Langan, “and so is Fred, Tom's younger brother, It's mighty hard to have ‘Tom away now, for he was such & comfort to us always. He is a good boy. He has no bad habits; does not rink or smoke and regularly turned over all he made to his mother. “Thetad always wanted to be a sol- dier, and-I was going to"get him in the army, when I hae the accident that has put me where [am four, Since then T have been unal my bed, and in all that time have been able to’ take nothing but milk to keep me alive, I injured one of the valves of my heart and it sort of paralyzed me, T hope they'll let the boy out soon, for J know how he'll suffer locked up in that cell.” : Col. Morris, of the Ninth Regiment, maid to-day that if the boy had been sent to Ludiow Strect Jail he probably deserved the punishment.

GANNUZ! VICTIM OF BLACK riAND? Wealthy Italian Has Mysterious- ly Disappeared and Police Be- lieve He Is in the Hands of Band of Blackmailers. Nicola Ganuzzi, a wealthy Itallan, of No. 61 Hudson street, Brooklyn, has mys- teriously disappeared, and behind his isappearance the Brooklyn authorities “ think they see:the hand of the gang of blackmailers. and assassins who have been threatening violence to prosperous Italians in the borough for the past few months. ‘There is strong evidence that Gannust was kidnapped and as he is an old man, whose ontire life has been spent with his family and who had few outside vs- sociations, the police can see no ex- planation of his continued absence save that he {¥ dead or is being restrained. Gannuwl llved on Water street, near Cherry street, Manhattan, but kept his shop in Brooklyn, There he had deal- ings with a great many Jtallans, and as he always had plenty of money on his person and did business on a large scale he got the reputation of being very rich. Two Men Called to See Hint, Last Tuesday afternoon at 3,80 o'clock two men, one of them an Itallan, called at the Hudson avenue shop and’ asked to see Gannugi. Gannuzl, who 1s six- ty-elght years old, was in the rear of the shop directing the packing of some rugs. over to see him on an errand, called him and was present while he talked to the two men. : ‘The strange !tallan announced that he and his cempanton were detectives, and that they had a warrant for Gan- nugl's arrest. “what for?” asked the old man, “Never mind," said the man. come afong with us guietiv or we’! “You 1 have to handle you Youghly, Yeu're wanted at Police Headquarters, You il get an explination theue.”” The man refused ty show Genn warrant, but the old man sald n> w go anyway, and.told his stepdaughter to watch the shop until he scturned ‘Then he put on his coat and hat, und the. last the girl saw of him and hes companions they were boarding a Park avenue car. Nothing has been seen of Gunnuzi since, and he has mot communicated with any member of, his family, His business has been at a standstill, and his family {s frantic at his absence. ‘They notified the Brooklyn police of the matter to-day and the records of the pas: week were looked “up to see if a warrant had bobn issued for the man, No such Warrant was found. The hos- pitals have been searched, but no ttace of Gannual has been found, The Secret Service people in’ both boroughs were queried on the matter this afternoon, but said they had not taken Gannuzi and didn’t want him, In Me Held for Ransom? At the timesof his disappearance Gan- nuzi had about $100 ip his pocket, but the police bellave that his kidnappers bre looking for more than this, and that before long the family will receive a demand for some jarge sum of money as ‘ransom for the old naan, ' About three months ago/a gang of Italtan. blackmatlers who are” known as the “Black Mand” got busy in Brook- 1 rosperous Italians in the borough got threatening letters demanding money WEE Tin PERT and ‘In miny instances allowed | them: elves. te bickmailed because 0 POLICEMEN PALLBEARERS, | {heir tear of tne thues.

(Continued from First Page.) worn the gray skirt and negligee pink waist which are now of the blood- stained articles figuring in the trial. v Asked by Mr, Lutz if she thought Mabel left the house without shoes, Mrs. Bechtel broke down and wept. Mr. Lutz then asked Mrs, Bechtel if she and Mabel had ever quarrelled. “Not particularly,” replied Mrs, Bechtel. MABEL SWORE AT TIMES. Q. Is it true, as has been testified, that Mabel ever cursed you? A. Yes, Mabel swore sometimes. Q. Mrs. Miller testified that once when you and Mabel quarrelled about a shirt-waist she cursed you. You will remember that Mrs. Miller felt so badly about her curslag you that she wept oul of neighborly sympathy for you. Is that true? A. No, Mabel didn’t curse me that time. It-seems Mrs. Bechtel now claims the hat which Mabel wore when she left the house never to return alive is missing, , Eckstein swore that when he called at the house Monday night he saw that hat, a piece of evidence that makes the prosecution think Mabel's body was in the house at the time. * Under cross-examination Mrs. Bechtel/declared Eckstein didn’t see this hat. ve The commonwealth again made Mrs. Bechtel detail her story of being awakened by the barking of the dogs in the kennel, and hersseeing the car- riage in the alley, and the carrying of the burden, undoubtedly her daugh- ter's corpse, up the walk of Miller's yard, next door. Q. What became of that carriage, with its two horses? because I went back to bed. ¢ The questions were very searching. She said two men who carried the burden did not walk side by side but carried it each having hold of an end. Here Mrs. Bechtel broke down again. As ghe cried she said: “I didn’ think it a strange proceeding at the time. My heart, my head never 811 gested to me that it was my poor Mabel’s corpse.” Asked if she didn't become suspicloug when she heard the trap doors to either her alleyway or Miller's close loudly a minute later, she answered no. Mrs, Bechtel testified that the front’door to her home wasn’t locked at the time she saw the men carrying the burden. The last of her children to return home that night was John, at 11.30. He called to his mother, asking if everybody was at home—whether he should lock the door. She replied that Mabel hadn't returned yet, and he shouldn't Jock the door, but should blow out the lamp in the dining-room. DISCOVERY OF THE BODY. Again by the cross-examiners, as by her own lawyers yestexday, Mrs. Bechtel was questioned minutely about discovering’ her daughter's corpse. Again she broke down, sobbing louder and longer than at any other time. “And you stumbled against Mabel?” For 4 moment there wasn’t .any reply as the bent and sobbing mother spent her grief in crying. A moment later she said: “They took me upstairs, and I never saw my daughter's corpee after that until they brought it home again in her coffin.” So bitterly did she weep now that court spautaneously, without a word from anybody, took a recess. The question of Mabel’s clothes was taken up, on which more than any- thing else the verdict depends. When she got up on Tuesday mo-ning. she A. I don’t know, plumed hat, white shirt waist, three-quarter tan coat and Oxford shoes in ngt being able to find her were greatly worried. . Q. Did your sons know about this peculiar state of affairs? A, Yes, Q. What did they say? A. Nothing. My sons are nien of few words, At this point a cup of coffee was brought into the court-room for Mrs, Bechtg!. Its.stimulating effect seemed penefictal. Q. Mrs. Bechtel, haven’t you the least idea who killed your daughter? A. Ais I belleve there is a merciful God above us, I don't know. For hours and hours since the tragedy 1 have been awake at nights trying to reason out who killed her anJ trying to solve the mystery, “Why did you ‘ell the officer at the police station you would have felt better if they had let you talk?” them what I thought of them I should have felt better. That poor, innoceut boy, of mine killed himself because they locked him up. hey hadn't any | business to lock him up. If he had not been imprisoned unjustly he wouid who brought him into the vorld, am Innocent of any connection with the crime of the killing of my poor & the world.” JUDGE TREXLER INTERFERES. Whep the cross-examiner began to press this line of questioning further the Judge interfered, saylig: “This poor, crying mother has given you a clear and emphatic answer. Now respect her grief.” Asked about Eckstein’s assertion that she advised her taughter Mabel to get all the money she could out of men, Mrs. Bechel said: “I confess there is some slight foundation for that, but in this way—I chided Mabel for etaying out so much and told her not to throw herself away.” “Mrs, Bechtel, isn’t it a fact that your daughter Mabel wae killed in your house and that members of your fam!ly carried her through phe house and laid the cosso in the arcaway?” Py She answered: “Tais I don't believe unless God himself should appear before me and tell me it had been done." ¢ The Judge asked Mrs, Bechtel; “And you know nothing about it?” “God in.heayen, no, no. | have prayed that Mabél’s spirit and poor Tom's too, might return to earth and tell me all about it, but the Lord won't let them come back to me, their old mother; He keeps them with Himself,” ‘This afternoon the defense called Martha Bechtel, the youngest sister, to the stand.

Pease, physician and dentist,” of No. 101 West Seventy-sec- ond street, is the man who has been at the bottom of the anonymous communi- cations against the reign and authority of Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, leader of the First. Christian Science Church, whose new $1,250,00 church now graces the corner of Central Park West and Ninety-sixth street. Dr. Pease ad- mitted to an Evening World reporter to-day that he was responsible for all the communications, and said that he was now willing to have his identity disclosed. ‘ Bver since the attacks in the rule of Mrs, Stetson were aired in the papers Mrs, Stetson's congregation’ has been torn asunder, The deepest mystery en- veloped the personality of the man or woman who was leading the oppositfon. Who he or she might be was the all- absorbing puzzle of the hour in Christ- Jan Science circles. Rumors of Mrs. Stetson's fall and decline were rife. It was even thought by some that the rebellion would result in an insurrec- tion and that BMrs. Stetson would go down in history as one deposed, When he first started his letter-writ- ing he called for the representatives of the press and in concert sald that all his communications must be trented without exposing his name, Those who would not agree went away without the news, First came the long interviews ahd then the letters.
