SWEETHEART AND FRIENDS
HELD AS GIRL'S KIDNAPPERS
Mays Landing Young Woman Defends Men Who Carried Her
Off in Automobile When Her Relatives Accuse Them
Three men arc being held by the
Ctlouccstcr police today, charged with
kidnapping n seventeen-year-old girl
from Mays Landing, N. J., and carry
ing her off In nn automobile. The
prlsoucrs are all residents of Philadel
phia. Thev deny they kidnapped the
girl, insisting they merely took part
In nn elopement.
The girl, MIs Stollle Maxznla, sup
ports their story, but her mother and
sister have made charges against the
three prisoners, and they will bo taken
to Mnys Landing today after a hearing
in the (tlouecstcr police court.
The prisoners nre Salvatore Di Mario,
twenty-three years old, of 1)14 Arbor
street, who is in love with the girl,
nnd two of his friends. Salvatore
Keoralo, twenty-seven years old, also
of the Arbor street address, and Thomas
llenlgno, twenty-one jcars old, of 731)
Sears street.
The three, with the girl, were cap
tured at the Gloucester tollgate by Pa
trolman Smith, who was watching for
them after the Gloucester police had
been warned that three men were hurry
ing toward Philadelphia In a motorcar
with a girl who had been stolen from
her home.
Two widelv vuryi-.g but highly ro
mantic stories nre told of how the girl
fell into the hands of di Mario nnd
ids companions.
According to the story (old by Miss
Maiszola'a mother, dl Mario was en
gaged to the girl's sister. Josenhlue.
! .mil hail nude all arrangement for the
I wedding when he suddenly lunde up his
mind that he was in love with the
younger daughter. .Mrs. .Mnzzola dis
approved this fickleness and refused to
permit ill Mario to pay attentions to
her young daughter when she lenrned
that he had made up his mind not to
marry the other.
It is charged that di Mario appeared
In Mays Landing yesterday and waited
for Miss Mollle Mazzola'as s,Iie walked
homeward from school, induced her to
get into tlie automobile and started
away for Philadelphia.
The other story, told by the three
men nnd the girl, is that the ttlp from
Mnjs Lauding was an elopement
planned -everal weeks ago.
Miss Mazznla. although she still car
ried her school books when stopped In
Gloucester, declared she was twenty
three years old and not seventeen, us ns
erted in Mays Landing. She says
he had arranged to meet Di Mario,
and was standing a an appointed apot
with two girl friends, to whom she. had
confided the secret of the elopement,
when Dl Mario appeared with the au
tomobile. AUTO TOSSES BABY '
