An Albany message states that the police learned to-day that John J. O Connell, junior, aged 24, nephew of Edward and Daniel O’Connell, powerful New York up-state Democratic leaders, has been kidnapped and held since Friday for £50,000 ransom. Negotiations for his release have come to a standstill. The abductors had telephoned warning that they would kill the captive if the police were called in.
