The American headquarters of the blackmailing organization has been shifted from New York to San Fran- cisco, according to reports said to have been made to the department of justice by operatives who have been working here since last September, when Tony DeFrance of Chicago and Joseph Vetrano of New York were arrested in San Jose. Agents of the department of jus- tice are said to have told the grand jury yesterday of six murders in ad- dition to that of Petrosini and numer- oug dynamite and bomb outrages, ré- sponsibility for which has been traced to the organization. Responsibility the Camorra of Italy, members of which are alleged to be lidentified with the group under investigation. Theodore Kytka, handwriting ex- pert, who was a witness, is said to have told the federal inquisitors of threats having been made against his life after threatening letters to others had been placed in his hands for in- vestigation.
