Va. Feb. 21.—An organized murder band whose tenta- cles have crushed life from scores of victims is believed by police to have been revealed by the arrest here of 17 men-and alleged confes- sions of some of those arrested. Revenge as unrelenting as that which has wiped cut whole clans in Italian vendettas, murder lists, se- cret rituals, symbols of blood-red handkerchief and knife gripped be- tween clenched teeth are but some the dramatic features of the con- ns, according to police. More than 40 murders, dynamit- , incendiary fires, and extortion will be charged nst_ some mem- bers of the band if the police are able to substantiate clews upon which they are working. Others will be charsed with complicity in vari- ous of the crime med in the confessions as the “hig boss.” Joe Sergi of Fairmont, w. is alleged to have been the autocratic director. was the brain, according to the confessions, | under which the Italian colony here has lived in dread for -months, not knowing where next murder would strike. | Killed Woman, Charge | | Pelice claim positive proof that the band committed three murders now have been labeled unsolved,” ' One of these was the killing near Baltimore of Bella Lemon, notor! woman of the Fairmont underworld. | Her one-time master, Rosario De- | which until j marco, shortly afterward shot down in Chicago and $15,000 takens jfrom him by orders of the Mafia, the confessions suid to have stated.

By Meyer London: Representative From New York, Twelfth ;District I don’t know any funny stories, but here's a parable I often tell to the radical members of my party I’m a Socialist—to show that things can’t be done all at once, The tale is from the Talmud, I think, though I’m not sure. i Anyhow, a mah was sent to the well to bring a pail of water. He was gone for an hour or two, and a messenger was dispatched to find out what was causing the delay. He found the man digging around the well, “Why do you do that instead of bringing the pail of Water?” queried the messenger. | “Oh, I didn’t want to go trotting » back and forth with just one pail at ‘ a time,” said the man, “so I was get-* . ting ready to bring you the well.” SS ——— 7 R.S.
