To block the police in their eft kidnappers: of four-year-old Yieorge Brucato, who was se orts to get-a clue to their‘identity ‘the } adrift in anj East New York hailway last night, starved the child and in his weakened condition threatened and bulldozed him until his immature mind was-ity a State of collapse. ‘When he was returucc to his parents in their home at No. 28 Stan- g For | ton street, the boy moaned and hours after he was found by Police: Rockaway, ‘near St. “Eat!” He was cowering in a co cold and covered only with little knickerbockers and a woman's shawl. After the boy waa taken by his parents from the rooms of the Society for the Prevention of Crusity to Children to his home, Dr. V, Buffa, of No. 25 Chrystie street, was called in to minister to him He said that the child had been scantily nourished and harshly treated. In fact the boy had been starved and tortured by his captors until his mind has be- come entirely incoherent and will prob- ably never recover any exact memory of what happened to him since he was snatched up by‘ his abductors half a block from his hame on Dec. 13. Detectives All at Sea. Detective Sergeant Petrosino was summoned before Inspector McLaughlin today to report on the kidnapping, but he could give little information of po- lice value. He said that It was singular that the boy was found in the neigh borhood of the home of tls uncle, Fran- isco Mauro. It reems just as singular, however, thug in the course of a week Petrosino } “and his detectives could not discover Mark's avenue, t, crying that he was hungr: man Redmond in a dark hallway in , the child uttered only one word: rner of the hallway, shivering with | Station to send hts ep boRe tothe! ne hborhaod where bey fax found | and ¥ to discover ine hiding place of the abductora, iH Then Capt.

They learned that Mauro, | who is a brother of Mrs. Burcato, had | quarrelled with the family over thelr) Fefusal to marry their dayghter, Pau- | Une, to his son, Antonio. | Petrosino' says, however, that he had bsolutely no reason to susp child's kinsman, as he has his sister since the kidnapping and con- oied with her, The dete’ the theory that the ki vead in the paper of the family quar-f tel, carried the boy to the nelghbor- hood of his uncle's home and jeft iim there, purely as a blind. The police feel certain that the recent dragnet operations against the members of the Black Hand and Cammoriati, in which more than a score were arrested, is responsible for the turning loose of the boy. though they aro still at a loss to account for a motive sufficient to have induced the kidnapping, consider- ing the poverty of the Brucatos. -. Woman Suspected Truth. The fact that the boy was covered with a shaw! has ted to the belief that a Woman was employed in setting him adrift. It was several hours after Po- liceman Redmond found the boy that he was Identified. He could not even tell his namo and it was a sudden tnapira- tion on the part of Mrs. Howe, the ma- tron of the Children’s Society's rooms, ‘on Bchermerhorn street, Brooklyn, that ppera, ba! to the boy. Mrs. Howe did not belleve the: child had strayed away from home “| parently his face had heon washe @ short ime before and he wo: White Tain o' Shanter hat.
