Almost every crime on the cal- ender, from murder down, was charged ewainst one or more of the twenty- even prisoners. Red bandanna handker- ohtefs and ofly, worn blue flannel shirts, set off with imported tweeds strongly resembling American overails, seemed fo be the prevailing garb of the al- Yeged blackmailers. Three of the group who particularly attracted the attention of the detectives! were Francisco Dinello, Vincenzo Ser- cuno and Pietro Arguno, all young,| stockily built and living in the Harlem Italian quarter. Severo Trabussi, a coal @ealer, of No, 311 East One Hundred and Twelfth street, charged the trio with robbing him of $100 in twelve dif- ferent hold-ups. Brother Aided Arrest. | Arguno’s brother, Gluseppi, is respon- | sible for the arrest of the three men. When Trabussi made his complain: to| the police he was able to tell them only} the name of Arguno. The other men he knew only by sight. The detectives were unable to force Arguno to give the names of confe tes, They ap- pealed to his brother, a highly respected young merchant. Giuseppi grabbed his brother in his offic ne afternoon and, according to the detectives, administered such a beating to that young man that he| begged permission to give himself up to) the police and tell all he knew. The brother arranged the arrest of the three/ men. So terrified was Trabuss! of the al Jeged blackmailers that he was accus- tomed to reach down Sn his pockets and hand over any money he carried at the @pproach of a member of the gang. When he finally nerved himself to tell | the police, for which he was threatened | with death, he hid himself in his rooms, ly yesterd ox his re Only yesterday did ne leave his retreat) (> so™iiquidation of other obligations, /on ou When he learned the men were under arrest.

Daneddo told the police that hig death had been planned unless | he was able to satisfy the demands of the extortioners. He said he had r fused and that he had received a Black Hand note declaring he was sentenced t to dle. Thursday night, returning from a } @ay’s work, he was chased Into the cel- lar of his home by the two men, he says, and fifteen shots were fired at him. In the darkness, he says, he fell with his hand to his head and groaned at the ~ first shot, which ploughed its way across, his brow. The men, thinking he was! dead, emptied their guns into his sup-; posed body, a bag of potatues which) shielded him. One of the bullets struck| him, It severed three fingers of the) right hand. The pair then rifled his kets, but got only $7.

Charles W ‘se was to have ap-| peared in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court to-day before Justice Dowling. In connection with the two in- dictments for grand larceny found against him two weeks ago. He did not appear in person, but his counsel, Philp | J. Britt, was on hand with a motion for permission to inspect the minutes of the Grand Jury. The motion was not opposed by the Disirict-Attorney, and the desired per- mission was granted by Justice Dow- jing. After inspection of the minutes Mr. Britt will prepare a motion that the Indictments be dismissed, which he will present to Justice Dowling next Monday. “Edo not beliew * enid Mr. Britt after the court proceedings, “that the indict: | ments are valid. There Is an entire) absence of any criminal intent on the part of Mr. Morse in the transaction on | which the Indictments are based—in/ fact, no criminal act was committed. | “Mr. Morse, ac.ing for Judge Morgan J. O'brien, indorsed a note signed by} Judge O'Brien and discounted It at the Mercantile National Bank. He turned! over to Judge O'Brien securities to cover | the amount of the check and also to settle a business deal, in connection with which the note was made. Judge O'Brien didn't lose anything by the transaction, the Mercantile National) Bank didn't lose anything, Mr. Morae | didn’t lose anything, and the National Bank of North America, where he | |oasted the check, didn’t lose anything. | There can be no larceny where no} money or property 1s lost.” | Receiver Hanna, of the National Bank of North America, announced to-day | that it would certainly) be three months, and perhaps six months, be- | fore anything can be done tn the way | of paying off the 200 depositors who are | creditors to the extent of $2,500,000 The | National Bank of North America, © the Clearing House Association $1,200, 000, for which the Clearing House holds securities.
