KIDNAPPED.
BY ORDER OF WIFE. A remarkable story of a man being kidnapped in Rome by four hooligans on the instructions of his wife in order to extort money from him was revealed recently, when the police arrested four of the culprits. The unfortunate husband is Signor Paolo Elena, who was accosted in a deserted street by four men who, threatening him with dagger,s, bundled him into a motor-car and drove him far into the country. There they left him after ordering him to bring £2OO three nights later to a hovel of a cafe on the outskirts of Rome. He told the police, who, on the appointed night, surrounded the meeting place and arrested all present.
Signor Elena was astonished to find his wife among those arrested and to learn that she organised the coup.
