New York, June 14.? An agent of
the. "Black Hand" perpetrated yes
terday one of the boldest kidnap
pings ever known In this city.
A child that the "Black Haed"
has been after for throe years ? ever
since he was four months old ? was
stolen while his father and mother
were sitting in their apartment not
ten feet away from the kidnapper
and plainly within sight. *
? The child" was -Michael Sclneca,
son of Dr. Mariano Sclneca, of NO. J
Prince street', a well known Italian
physlcteBt who has given bis life to
the service of his countrymen, in
America and whoTs highly thought
of to the Italian colony. .
i of killing him and stealing or,
|kllttn? little Ml.tucI Whtn ho rt~
Uw A rat Mf-turem it over to
rthen bead of the
Bureau.
fhe'chlld Were
esVried vout yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. Michael was playing in the
hallway of the floor of the apartment
house above that on ? which he lived.
His father and mother sat with the
door of the apartment open to see
that he did not go down sislra and |
Into the street. While they were
watching, a man carried the child
past the door without their knowl
edge. A boy and a girl, each four
yoare old, with whom the boy had
been playing, gave the alarm. The
little girl informed the physician
while the little boy followed the kid
napper as long as he could In face of I
repeated threats of death.
Three years ago Dr. Scineca's I
prosperity aroused tho cupidity of!
some of his countrymen. He received .
a letter, bearing a "Black Hand"
signature, demanding $1,000. The
physician wm told to bring the ra^n
Qy to a certain place. In the event
th^t he failed to appear with It, he
and his family were to be killed with
bomb or his son was to bo abduct
ed. Dr. Sclneca turned this letter
over to Lieut. Petrosino and wan in
structed to keep the appointment.
He did so but tho men who wrote the
letter failed to appear. Other in
ters followed this. Each time the ap
pointment was kept by Lieut. Petros
Ino'a instructions, but each time the
men who were to receive the monoy
dld not appear.
Then, when it became known that
Petrosino had been constantly watch
ing the Sclneca home and that he
was personally interested In the case
the fear of the head of the Italian
Detective Bureau became uppermost
In the minds of the blackmailers and
no more letters were received. When
Lieut Petrosino was killed the VrH
lag was resumed.
The building In which the physi
cian lives in a five-story apartment
house. He lives on the sectokl flob?.
the main entrance of hla apartment
being opposite the head of the stair
way from the first to the second floor.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
little Michael, who' is three feet tall,
weighs about fifty pounds. Is blonde
and was dressed In a brown Buster
Brown suit, went to the third toor
to play In the hallway with VltoPa
gaao, four years old, and Maria Jtxa
ro, also four. Dr. and Mrs. Sclneca
were sitting In their apartment with
the door open so that little Michael
could not go Into the street without
being seen by them.
Half an hoar later the little girl
Maria, ran Into their apartment say
ing that tfc* Utfja boy vito had told
her 'to tell the doctor that a man
had come up into the hallway, had
picked up little Michael and had car
ried him away. . She said that Vito.
notwithstanding he was ealy tour

Vlto followed the
child to the street door.
Mactor, who was en Italian, the
children say. mmde Vlto 00 back. The
rouosster. with pluck far beyond hie
rem hid Mind the door and than
Followed the pair to Elisabeth street.
At Elisabeth and Prince ettmu the

Bo back he weald j ??????????
Dr. ftciaaee ran e?t aad co*ld not]

The physician went to the Italian
Detective Bureau and told what had
occurred. Detectives Carrao
Caetsno went to work on the case
Immediately and are still loofklag for
the boy and the man who kidnapped
him. Lest night every Italian detec
tive of the Police Department was
set to wojrk and s general alarm was
sent out
Dr. Sclneca received a blackmail
1ns letter dated April 8. of this year. ]
It follows: ,
Doctor: Today we pray you
for the sum of $1,000. If you
talk to the pollce/ the worse for
you and all your family. We
don't give you sn appointment.
It would be foolish. We com
mand you to speak with your
? friends. They know where they
can find us. The person who (
j presents himself Is worthy and
mind that you receive him kind
ly. We regret to give trouble to
your lady.' We hsve a right to
live.
This letter wss signed with a black j
hand, four dsggers and s cross.
Dr. Sclneca hsd no chance to re
ceive the "worthy" person, kindly or j
otherwise." because he did not ap-|
paar.
Then on April 11 there csme a
letter which showed that the Italians
who wrote 1 1 real lied they were
wounding the msn who had befriend
ed them and who had given up his
career that they might/ receive the
medlcsl attention they could not j
for. It folio
to shofc* you that we have
up our minds about you
Md know how well off you are ,
?We have waited long enough.
We have don% nothing for your
lady's sake. Your lady Is kind
and benevolent toward us, but
? wajiave a right to lire.' As a
go#d friend you must help us.
If no money Is sent we will
make trouble. WIU have no res
r spect for you. We entreat you.
Enough said.
This letter was signed with" ten
daggers and a black hand.
Then on May 19- came this blood
thirsty epistle:
Doctor: The last letter we
wrote you we receveld no an
swer. Are you perhaps deaf,
or are you making a bluff to us?
If you' don't sond money you
will die and all your family the
way we told you In our other
letters. We don't want to say
much more to you. Think this
over well. Must have the money
before the end of this week or
your life.
The signature to this letter was
raised to twenty daggers In addition
to the black hand. Thiere was this
postcript:
These daggers are what we
will give you and we will drink
your bloOd.
Mrs. Sclneca is under the care of
physicians while tho distracted hu6-|
band and all the detectives of the
Italian bureau are scouring the eantj
side to find Michael.

Mr. Bdttor.
I see Mr. J. B. Boone, of Wayoeo
rllie. Ui an article In the morning
paper attempting to reply to my tot
ter of the 17th In regard to the caa
Aldacy of Judge A. W. Graham for
Corporation Commissioner, In which
he positively denies that Mr. H. C.
Brown Is a -western man.
''Who knows best where Mr.
Brown's domicile Is? Mr. Boone or
Mr. Brown himself and his mhnager
and friends?
I copy verbatim from page 8 to
the circular entitled, H. C. Brown for
Corporation Commissioner, sent; out
by Mr. Brown and hla friends an
nouncing his candidacy:
. The Voice of Surry County.
"Presents Henry Clay Brown to
the Democrats of North Carolina for
Coropratlon Commissioner.
"Henry Clay Brown was oalled to
th^ position of ChleC+Clerk of the
Corporation Commission from 8urry
county, and Surry claims the honor
of his great service to the State, and
speaks for herself and her section of
the State the higher honor of having
him choeen by the Democrat* of
North Carolina.
"In presenting Mr. Brown aa a
western man, Su **y county Is well
within her r.'ghts. Geographically
she Is about 140 miles northwest of
Rallegb, and the Alleg^JM^y^npua
talns^fotig *+r western fcO'rder" There
8Se only two counttee? Alleghany
and Aahe ? between Surry and the
Tennessee line. The weet beyond the
Blue Ridge hao been presented on
jU* Cornell? Ion now twelve years;
and from the geographical point of
view, we, as western Democrats,
submit as a reasonable and just prop
osition that the Surry section of the
-wostt that Is. the northwestern por* ?
tlon of North Carolina, Is now more
justly entitled to the honor of the
office, so far aa geographical claims
can go, than any other portion of
the west."
This is signed by ninety-four lead
ing Democrats of Surry -county' and
was circulated by Mr. Brown and hla
manager.
He was then running against Mr.
Lee. for whom Mr. J. D. Boone es
says to be champion. When did ?Cr.
Brown change His domicile? Judge
Graham is not a candidate against
Mr. Brown, but air. Lee is trying to
use Mr. Brown's supposed location
against the candidacy of Judge
Graham.
The claim that Mr. Brown Is a
Wake county man is just as unten
able as to say, that, because Hon. J.
Bryan Grimes of Pitt, Hon. B. F.
Dixon of Cleveland, Hon. Franklin
McNeill of New Hanover, and other
State officials have resided with their
families In Raleigh for many years,
they are also Wake county men.
How docs Wake county relish this
business anyway, charging up against
Wake county every office holder
whose family resides In Rallegh only
while he Is In the service of the
State. Why. of course. Governor
kltchin also resides In Wake county.
