Accompanying the photographs was a descriptoin of Leonardo Arena, the man who accomplished the actual kidnapping of Giuseppe Longo and Michael Rizzo in Brooklyn Nov. 19. Arena lived at one time in the same house in Brooklyn as the Longo and Rizzo families, He knew that the elder Longo was reputed to be wealthy and that Rizzo was a real estate owner. He also knew thelr two little sons. After moving to New York lhe entered into a conspiracy with Sorisl, Castelil and his wife and others, all from the town of Borgetta, Province of Palermo, Sicily, to steal the two boys in an ef- fort to extort a ransom of $30,000. After the kidnapping had been ac. complished, the Longo voy was turned over to Sorisi, who kept him in a room in the tenement at No, 339 Kast 8: third street. The Rizzo boy w 1 fided to th@care of the Castelli couple, who lived at No. 2% East Sixty-third street Sorisi, also known as Vito Rappa and Vito Colorino, is the husband of Marie Rappa, who is under indictment in Brooklyn on a charge of kidnapping. He was not tn the house tye day tie detectives found the ng boy, and made good his escape when he heard of the raid. The Castellis, iving next door, knew of the rescue of the Longo boy, and al- | though detectives were watching the house, they smuggled young Rizzo out in the night, took him to the home of friends in the Bronx, and turned him loose on the street the next night. Then they went into hiding, and it is supposed that this pair, Sorisi and Arena, are togethe: Sorist's photograph was found in his |apartment. He is thirty-three yeay: |old, 5 feet 71-2 inches tall, weighs 1 | pounds, has a dark, rosy ‘complexion, | black hair, mustache and eyes. The Photograph, being a proof and faded, shows him to be darker in complexion | than he really is. Castelli is feet 7 inches tall, weighs 0 pounds, as chestnut ‘alr and fMustache and gray eyes and an aquiline nose. His wife is 5 feet 5 inches tall, plump, dark and Arena !s 2 years old, 5 feet 7 or § inches tall, weighs 160 pounds, has a tan complexion, was smooth shaven when last seen and ix belleved to have a couple of moles on the face near the right eye.
