Drugged Lads Taught to Snatch Purses in Harlem Street Plot
Joseph Petrone known as Crazy Joe, a 24 year old ex convict, is held on 2500 bail after he allegedly drugged two schoolboys Daniel Ferro and John Nicotra with cocaine and instructed them how to steal purses from women in New York. The tale unfolds from magistrate Levy's Harlem court proceeding and police action led to the boys’ admission and Petrone’s arrest. Magistrate Levy heard the case as Detectives Casseth and Valentine testified. The younger boy Daniel, 13, confessed to complicity. John 11 was later discharged after the complainant did not appear. The incident occurred as teachers noticed the drugged stupor in the classroom of Public School No 5.
