MARKED MONEY NABS KIDNAPERS OF RICH BROKER Rosenthal’s Abductors Had Planned to Kill Their . Chief, Says Cops. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. I.—The sudden, unexplained affluence of two hoodlums, coupled with the old police trick of copying the serial numbers of ransom money, was responsible for the capture today of the gang which kidnaped Charles M. Rosenthal, millionaire broker. Four men and one woman were under arrest as details of the spectacular roundup were made known. Capture of the gang, police said, probably saved the life of the ringleader, for he had double-crossed his followers in distributing the ransom money and was to be “put on the spot.” Those arrested were: Clarence (Nick) Green, 29. Negro, arrested at Atlantic City. He is the ringleader of the gang, according to police, and proprietor of the Hotel Vendig, New York. Bettine Green, 29, colored, arrested with Green at Atlantic City where the two were living in an apartment. Jack Markham, arrested in New York. Theodore Adinolfl, alias Harry King, 26, of New York. Albert Sileo, alias John Rocco, arrested with Adinolfl in a Newark apartment where they were living in suddenly acquired luxury. Police said they seized a notebook containing names of future kid-

naping prospects, all wealthy and some prominent. Rosenthal, who is 23 and lives in Lawrence, L. 1., was released after seventeen days of captivity in a Manhattan apartment after his mother had paid the gang $50,000 ransom. The negotiations were carried on through the personal column of a morning newspaper. After two attempts, the money was left in a bag in the checkroom of the Hotel Vendig, police said. They learned that Green opened the bag and removed $25,000 before splitting the rest with his compan-

ions. He then went to Atlantic City with the woman. Poceo and Adinolfl were captured in a surprise raid Monday night, and confessed, police said, after they were shown the serial numbers of bills in their possession. Acting on this information, detectives left at once for Atlantic City with Rosenthal, and arrested Green and the woman. Rosenthal, they said, identified his captors. Adinolfl and Sileo, according to police, were planning to kill Green for double-crossing them.

HUNT MYSTERY VICTIM IN ROAD STABBING CASE Woman’s Cry, Abandoned Auto Only Clews of Deputy Sheriffs. “He's been stabbed.’’ This cry that pierced the quiet late Monday night at Eightieth street and state Road 31 and an abandoned automobile, today were the only clews deputy sheriffs had in their search for a man they believed may be dying of wounds. To add to the mystery of the case, the alleged stabbing victim was taken away in another car and the abandoned auto mysteriously was reported missing later. Emest Mueller, ISI4 Ruckle street, and Robert Wood, 1864 Central avenue, en route to their homes, stopped their car after a woman, standing in the road, had yelled,

waved and hurled a brick at their car. They told deputy sheriffs Ed Kassenbrook and Gilbert Thomas that they found two men in the car and another woman. One of the women screamed for help and they called deputies. When they returned they found another car was parked along the road and the supposedly wounded man had been placed in it. Before deputies arrived, though, the quartet had driven away in the second car. The abandoned auto was owned by Ralph Hills, 1435 English avenue, but deputies were told he was out of the city. An hour after finding of the car on State road 31 police received a call that Hills’ car had been stolen from Ralston avenue and Fiftyninth street. Deputies today were searching doctors’ offices and hospitals to find the “stabbed” man. Hills has not been found, they said.
