OVERSLEEP SAVES OWNER OF STORE . WRECKED BY BOMB Black Hand Endangers the Lives of Eight Families by Explosion. THEIR THIRD ATTEMPT. Grocer Threatened With Death Unless He Would Pay $1,000. After a lull of a few weeks, the Black Hand has again resorted to throwing bombs to enforce its demands for money from prosperous Italians. As @ result, eight families were endangered early to- day at No. 64 East Eighty-third street. The store conducted by John Gargiulo @n the ground floor of the building at the southwest corner of East End ave- nue and East Eighty-third street was badly wrecked by the attempt to blow it up with its proprietor. That Gargiulo is alive {s due to the tact that he overslept this morning, for had he been in his place of busi: at the usual hour be would bave been killed. The Black Henders apparently knew that Gargiulo was in the habit of open- ing hie store about 6 o'clock, and that until 6 o'clock there ia little activity in the neighborhood. Saw Bomb Thrown. About 6.40 o'clock a man was seen to Tun at the store by « neighbor who was looking out of his window. He made a movement of his hands and it is sup- posed he was the one who threw the bomb. He had just hurried by the store when there was a deafening explosion and the big building seemed to totter and shake, Frightened men, women and children came pouring from the building clad in their nightclothes, and it wae some time before they could be induced to return to thelr homes. Patrolman Kuhn of the East Eighty- eighth street station heard the explosion and hastened to the scene, The door of the store had been forced from its hinges and a large window had been smashed. The bomb had exploded in the basement under the store and had torn everything up in that part of the bulld- ing. Gargiulo arrived a few minutes after the explosion and when he #aw the damage he paled with the realization of his peril. Has Been Threatened. Gargiulo has been the object of the Black Hand for some time end only a few days ago he went to the police for protection, Demands for the immediate payment of $1,000 have been accompanied by blood curdling threats. ‘The police had been working on the case and !t 1s presumed that the Black Handers, knowing what Gargiulo had done, sought imemdiate revenge for failure to comply with their demands. Gargiulo had received seven threaten- ing letters, four of which he turned over to the police, ‘These four were mailed from Station K., showing that the Black Hand members reside in the neighborhood near the store, for that is the postal station of that district. One was matled from Amsterdam, N, ¥., and two others from Station ¥. De- tective Carony fs on the case. In one of the letters Gargiulo was informed that if he did not hand over $1,000 immediately he and his seven children would suffer @ horrible death. Others contained pictures of knives land coffins and all ended with the warn- ing that his fate would be according to the pictures, The Third Attempt. This is believed to be the third at- tempt to wreak vengeance on Gargiulo. Early last Sunday a small fire was dir- covered in the atore, This was unex- plained at the time, but in the light of to-day's developments, it 1s presumed that Gargiulo’s enemies were responsi- ble. Early yesterday John Dunn, a plumber, residing at No. 608 Fast Eighty-third street, was awakened by hearing loud conversation under his window. Looking out, he saw three Italians. They observed him and moved to the front of Gargiulo’s store. Dunn had been informed of the Black Hand letters Cargtulo had been recety- ing and he watched. The men cast questioning glances in his direction, but Dunn remained at his post, and after an hour's wait the trio departed. Dunn thought he saw a package in the hands ‘ef one of the men. anmeatiecnctemn “HOSPITAL OF THE POOR” TO HAVE BIG BENEFIT. The Har Moriah Needs Room, and Entertainment Will Start a Building Fund.
