KIDNAPPERS’ CRIME.
BOY CAPTIVE MURDERED. Six kidnappers, rounded up by the I'aseisti t .haye told a gruesome’ story of the, murder; of..their six-year-old boy, captive, and , his burial in the caves at Ceytpcelie, near Rome. The boy, Nelio.. ; Cpcca, was earned , off last summer and held for ransom.
His parents, who were not rich, were unable to pay the sums asked, and called in the police. A search at first proved futile, but after Signor Mussolini came into power a daring young Fascist lieutenant named Pollastrini set out on the trail of the kidnappers. After midnight fighting in the campagna the band, with their leader, Marco Mari, were captured and marched to the Faeist head--quarters. All confessed and said that.fearing capture and punishment, Marco Mari, with his own hands, killed the boy, and the band hid the body in the depths of the caves at Centoeelle, the headquarters of the gang. Mari’s five followers unite in accusing their leader, but profess ignorance of the precise spot where little Nello is buried. Mari himself refuses to speak. The caves have been searched, but no trace of the body can be found.
