Ninety-two children and
threa g irl leachera ware rescued
from two mad brother! today
who were holding them hostage
in (heir school for Joo million
lire ransom. ; .-
Arturo Santato, J7. recently
released from mental Institu
tion, and his brother Osvaldo, 22,
were captured after one of the
teachers, Miss Paolo del Ceratore,
(ribbed a Inife from Osvaldo.
The brothers had. come to Ter
rizxano. a village of less than
l.ooo persons eight miles north of
, Milan, on their motor scooter from
nearby Rhe, An hour before noon
the scooter snorted to a stop in
front of the metal fence surround
ing the two-story schoolhouse . in
the village square. The brothers
hopped from the machine.
Arturo newly released from the
Averse madhouse oa parole and
due . back there ia a week for a
checkup pushed into the building
ia front of Osvaldo, whom police
described as a near-moron dom
inated by his insane brother. The
two pulled guns oa the tochers
and barred the doors oa the in
side. . . , . I- -.,
At once the madmen began to
pump pistol shots out the window,
ttrecfc ky Ballet
mother of 1-year-old pupil Gianni,
rushed screaming to the school
bouse door. A bullet crashed into
her leg. Two men pulled her to
safety while she screamed: "1
want my Gianni." .
Aa alarm to Milan and nearby
towns brought 40 truckioads of a-
tinny ?!!?. B'it SV58 bf f"fC tK
police "arrived, villagers tried to
drive the brothers from the school
with hunting rifles. A hail of but
lets made them retreat.
Police Arrive
In a short time a full battalion of
carabinieri, the national police,
surounded the school, while sob
bing parents milled behind their
line. .
The two madmen used the
teachers as shields each time they
approached the school windows to
shout their demands.
First they asked for 100 mat
tresses. Then they wanted an infra-red
lamp, then bullet - proof
vest, then a television set.
"We want TV.. We want mov
ies,", Arturo shouted. "We want to
create an International scandal."
More Meoey ..
They dropped notes Into the
courtyard, first asking for IN mil
lion and then for f" million lire.
A courageous policeman made
aa effort to reach the back door
and was met by a volley of shots.
He saved himself by dropping to
the ground. From a second story
window, a mad voice shouted:
"Bring o fnnrf, electric stoves,
bread. The children must eat."
At noon, some food was brought
tip. One brother, using a teacher
as a shield ia front of him, moved
the food through the entrance.
"Give us. 200 million lire or we
will not have pity oa the children,"
read a new note dropped from the
window. ' j
Urged to Leave"' 7"
Vittorio Emmanuele Modica,
Milan's police chief who directed
the siege, begged the pair to come
out of the building.
"Nothing will happen to you,"
he shouted.
V
"The police will klQ us," one of
the madmen replied. .
"No one will hurt you," repent
ed Modica. "I am in command
and I can guarantee tl.at."
"We don't believe H," the mad
man responded. We are ia ae
hurry."
One of the berserk brothers
held up a flask.
Acid la Flask
"See this? There's acid in It.
The children are ia our hands. If
you make a step we will kill them
all. Give na 200 million lire." -
Doa Eugenie Somaschiai, the
parish priest, stepped ' up and
pleaded with the pair. They aimed
their guns at him and threatened
to ffre. The priest irthdYw..:H
Tneir own sister then p'eaded
with the Santatos to surrender.
Their father, also present, cried:
1 knew Arturo should never have
been let out of the asylum."
.Stat Lack Off.- :
The brothers continued to de
mand a television aet. Ia a brief
truce, police put a TV set oa a
window ledge, hoping to distract
the madmen. But as they waited,
school teacher Del Caratore
taped at Osvaldo and fought with
him. When Arturo went to his
brother's aid, the police moved ia.
