> WOMAN ABDUCTED AND THEN ROBBED Smuggled from Italian Steamer in Male Clothing, Signora D'ischia Forced to Give Up ’ Her Jewels and Money. DUMPED FROM CAB AT HUSBAND'S DOOR. Strange Story of Wealthy Sig- nora Marie d’lschia, Who De- sired to Join Her Husband in ( This Country. ‘A weird story of abduction and rob- ery, told by Signora Mure d'Ischia, has set the Brooklyn police to invest!- gating what appears to be the whole- sale smuggling of Italian women to this country on freight steamships and the victimizing of them after they are brought ashore in this city. Caroline Politi, of No, 117 Harrison street, was arrested last night, charged with aiding in the robbéry of Signora . @Ischia, and two men who were found 4m the house were locked up os sus- picious persons, but, the Signora says ) that they were not’ concerned in the plot. Bignora d'Ischia Is the wife of Che- valier Raffael d'Ischia, eNw York corre spondent of a number of Ttallan news- pers, who lives at No. 69 Fulton street kiym. She is a vaudeville actress and has appeared, she says. in ail the Inrge cities of Europe. Her last engage- ment was In St. Petersburg. She Came Here a Stowaway. Through her lawyer, Frank Corrao, the told to-day of coming to. Brooklyn as a gowaway on the steamship Patria from Naples, of’ being robbed In the Harrison street house and, of finally being delivered to her husband minus her money and Jewelry, but still pon- sessing drafts for 3,000 lire, the valie of which her abductors did jot undur- stand. Bhe says the Polit! woman told her that many women are smuggled from Italy to the United States and robbed after they. get here or held for ran- ‘Pabm, and that recently a wealthy fan gave up $1,000 before he could js wife from the clutches of the ‘aller d'Ischia sent to his old Jhome in Corsica for his wife about a month ago. She went to Naples to sail for New York from that port ‘Dhe signora, who was plestifully sup- plied with money, attempted to pur- chase a steamship cket, but was told that because of a slight affection of | = athe eyes she would not be allowed to land in the United States, and both ticket and passport were denied her. Story Told in Napten. ‘The story of her predicament spread ‘through Naples, and she was visited by a number of sailors who were mem- bers of the crew of the Patria, of the Fabre iine. diie to sail on May 4. They told her that for 600 lire they would smuggle her on board and land her In New York with her husband. She ugreed and was secretly taken on board and installed in one of the oMoers’ cabins, The Patria arrived in New York on May 21 and docked at Pier No, 32, De- Braw attreet, Brooklyn. The customs pM@icers inspected the passengers ani adlowed them to land. Signora d'Iachia Was iept locked in her cabin, Her husband was not aware that she was om board the ateamer. At midnight on May % a sult of men's clothes was Siven her and she was told to don them. Disguised as a man she was lowered over the side into a rowboat Three men were in the boat and they rowed away with her. After going /iome Alstance they stopped, and Zone of. them drew a revolver and the other two drew stilett She was told that unless she gave up all the money and jewels she had she would be killed jand her body would be thrown into the river. Brought Her Ashore. _.The three finally took her ashore and turned her over to Carolina Politi, at NO. 17 Harrison street. The next day the Polit! woman searched her and dis- | # covered three diamond rings, valued at #3000, which she had secreted in the Yomom of her dress. Signora Polit! told her that the money Feceived on the rings had been given tothe men for bringing her to this | © Rountry, and that she would be sent to her husband. ‘A closed cab was called and with a strange man as escort Signora d'Ischia | ws sent to her husband's home. The atranyer rang the bell at No. 59 Ful- ton street, jumped into the cab and | “@aehed away, leaving the woman stand- ging. on the door step.
