It | began in the Italian section of South | Philadelphia, spread to a half dozen Eastern States and fimally enlisted aid of the Federal Bureau of Inves- | tigation. Before it was completed, it brought | to light tales of hexes, voodoo rites and mysteries of the “evil eye.” In- vestigators told of women being per- suaded to pile up insurance on un- suspecting husbands, then poison them. Two Trials Held Two trials have been held stnul the investigation was started. In Lhe} first, Herman Petrillo, forty, was convicted of murder with a death sentence mandatory. The second ended when Mrs. Carina Favato, |200-pound boarding house keeper, dramatically pleaded guilty to three poisonings. R Empire Want Ads Bring Results.
