Follow-Up to the Alberto Tedesco & Giuseppina Capobianco Story

This is a follow-up to a July 27, 2014 Post. View that article HERE.

The Washington Herald: 20 Dec 1913, p.3

COUPLE TO BE TAKEN BACK.

Man and Girl Who Came from Boston Must Answers Charges.

   A detective from Boston today will take back to that city Alberto Tedesco, a stone cutter, twenty-two tears old, arrested here Thursday night by Detectives Berman and Cornwell, at the request of Chief Inspector McGarr, of the Boston Police.

   In a letter to Maj. Richard Sylvester Inspector McGarr stated the girl was wanted there on a charge of stealing $135 from her father. Tedesco is charged with bringing the young woman to Washington for unlawful purposes. The couple were located at 110 C street north-west.

Boston Herald: 22 Dec 1913, p.8

COUPLE PLEAD LACK OF DOWRY
Brought Back, They Say They Would Marry if Capobianco Would Give $1000.

   Inspector Kilday of police headquarters returned from Washington last night with Alberto Tedesco and Giusepnina Capobianco, who were arrested there as fugitives from Justice.

   The girl is 19 years of age and the daughter of Dominico Capobianco, a wealthy fruit merchant of 5 Clarendon avenue, West Roxbury. Tedesco is 22 years old, a stone cutter, and lives at 116 Dudley avenue, Roslindale. The latter is charged with enticing the girl from her home, while she is wanted for the larceny of $135 from her father. They are under indictment.

   Tedesco and the girl say they love each other, and the young man says that the only thing which prevents their marriage is that Capobianco will not provide the usual dowry of $1000. Tedesco says it is the custom in his native place in Italy for the parents to bestow a dowry of this amount upon a newly married couple.

Note: The couple did marry on 31 Dec 1913, however, to date we don't know what happened to the legal charges that they both faced.

Abducts Girl, Asks $1000 to Wed Her

Here is more to the story from yesterday's post of the wedding of Alberto Todesco and Giuseppina Capobianco.

Source: NewsBank, Inc., "Historical Newspapers," database, Genealogy Bank (http://www.genealogybank.com/ : accessed 21 Jul 2014), Abducts Girl, Asks $1000 to Wed Her; Date: Saturday, December 20, 1913, Paper: Boston Journal (Boston, MA), Volume: LXXX, Issue: 26224, Page: 1.

ABDUCTS GIRL, ASKS $1000 TO WED HER

   "Not only did this man abduct my daughter but he then wrote me a letter demanding $1000 in order to have him marry her to obliterate her disgrace," asserted Dominico Capobianco, a wealthy proprietor of a chain of small stores throughout Boston as he started last night with Inspector Kilday for Washington, where his daughter and her alleged abductor are under arrest.
   The man accused is Albert Todesco, a former Boston barber, who disappeared nearly a year ago with 17-year old Guiseppana Capobianco, who is claimed to have taken with her $135 of her father's money.
   She lives with her parents on Clarendon avenue, West Roxbury and it was only after a four months' search that Todesco was located.

Kiss is Reward to Her Rescuer

Date: Tuesday, July 29, 1913 

Paper: Boston Journal (Boston, MA) 

Volume: LXXX, Issue: 26100, Page: 5 

Kiss is Reward to Her Rescuer
Mary Capone Never Before Kissed a Man, But Offered This One.

   I had never kissed a fellow in my life - and well, of course, I-I-I don't think it was wrong to kiss Mr. Roach. It was the only reward I could offer him. Well, any way, I would kiss him a thousand times if it ever occurred again.
   Pretty 18 year-old Mary Capone of the North End, when rescued from the water at Caledonian Grove yesterday by William Roach of 358 Hanover street defended herself against the fun-making of many of her girl friends.
   "This is the only reward I can offer you," Miss Capone told her rescuer after he pulled her out of the water. She offered her rosy lips to Mr. Roach which he accepted without comment, and then sat her down on the grass before the gaze of 300 picnickers who had gathered around.
   Miss Capone had been attracted by the beauty of a lily on the water's edge and as she reached to pluck the flower, she lost her balance and was immediately entangled in the grass.
   "The water was only five feet deep," she laughed, "but it seemed hours while I was struggling to get out. I am sure if Mr. Roach hadn't rescued me I would have died."
   The modest Mr. Roach saw nothing extraordinary in his act. All he would say was, "I was playing ball and heard the girl's screams. Anyone would have done the same, I'm sure.

At the moment, we have no idea which Mary Capone, born about 1895, that this could be.
