TAKEN FOR A RIDE.
Three "Racketeers" Found Dead In Motor Car. WEALTHY DENTIST KIDNAPPED (Received 0.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, June 19. Three gangsters were found dead yesterday in a parked motor car at New Brunswick, New Jersey. Their mouths were sealed with adhesive tape and their legs tied. Probably the men were killed many miles away and taken into the New Jersey town. The dead gangsters are described by the police as petty "racketeers" who apparently would not hold their tongues since the repeal of prohibition. Dr. Harry Meyers, a wealthy dentist of Eldorado, Illinois, was kidnapped when coining from church on Sunday night. His body was found yesterday abandoned on a farm. Two bullets had pierced his back.
