ACCUSED OF MANY CRIMES Chicago Police Secure Arrest of Black Hand Leader. Chicago, July ' . —The Chicago po- lice believe they at last have in ocus- tody one of the leaders of the “Black Hand” society, who is also accused of belng a manufactureg, of bombs, a murderer and a whft slave agent. The suspect is Joseph Ruffino, cap- tured at Milwaukee. Ruffino’s wife also was arrested. Ruffino, who is a native of Italy, is said to be wanted by the p\,lca in many cities in this country and Italy. Information leading to the arrests was furnished to the police of Mil- ‘waukee by Chicago detectives, who had been searching for Ruffino and his wife since July 15. At that time Francisco Ruffino, a brother of Joseph, took Enrichetta Vaccarina, twenty-one years old, to Rochester, N. Y., and attempted to murder her, it is alleged, because she knew too much about their “Black Hand” dealings. The woman was a “white slave,” brought to this country five months ago, after the Ruffino brothers, ac- eording to the police, had killed a ‘wealthy Itallan at Sanguisseppe, a Sicilian city, because he refused to submit to blackmail. The woman was brought to Chicago and placed in a resort, where she remained until July 10, when she went to Rochester with Francisco Ruffino. Soon afterward Joseph Ruffino, it is charged, wrote to his brother to “do away” with the woman “because she knew too much.” Francisco cut, her throat, but before he could finish the crime she fled to a police station. He left Rochester and has not been captured. > The Vaccarina woman revealed many “Black Hand” plots and the murder alleged to have been commit- ted by the brothers in Italy.
