Some ten days ago Inspector Hughes, summoned Detectives Ch Carrao, | Edward Castano and Peter Dondero to | hia office, There had been a series of bomb explosions on the east side. “Do you know & man called ‘Pep- peniello?’ asked the Inspect: “We know him well,” replied Carrao. I arrested him with Joe Potrosino thre: years ago after we found his pal, Bona- Ventura, setting off @ bomb at No. Si East Eleventh street.

Dey and night one or the other kept bim in sight while he wa ray from home in Chrystie street. F: quently Costabilo spotted his ehadowers. They would purposely drop him, to pick him up again ia WAS ABOUT EARLIER THAN) USUAL YESTERDAY, Yesterday they saw bim approaching | them in Prince street. They were sur- prised, as they were on his way “plant” him, and he had nat been the custom ot faving his home before afternoon, It 8 before noon when Costabile was seen approgohing. Catching sight of the detectives Cos- tatilo turned and started back his tracks, = Thi they rushed up and nabbed him, kaowing from his actions that he was afraid to meet them. And uncer his coat they found a bomb which he was evidently about to deliver. Costablio never set off his own bombs. He had men of proved nerve and resourcefulness to do that for him. | In his gang he divided his followers into two classes, The first class men eet off the bombs and collected the large money. The second class men ingled out victims and did small blackmailing. Some of the members of the gang worked hard every day and assisted Costabilo only because they lik; the excitement, appreciated the little extra money and basked in the reputation of being desperadoes. RETURNS TO AIDES NOT VERY LARGE. ‘The returns were not large. Costabilo rarely paid more than §% for setting off & bomb. Only when a big haul was made would he divide up more than a busy. Kach trict, which he watched carefully. In cases where the victim showed signs of rebellion Costabdilo took person- al charge and, if he could not swing the money by threats, he sent one of his followers with @ bomb, Inspector Hughes seid he had heard from the Bureau of Combustibles this morning thet In the poase: geroug one plosive materials to kill persons and destroy propert; ae “BIG TIM" TELLS JUST WHAT HIS GUN LAW MEANS Senator Timothy D, Sullivan to-day took issue with District-Attorney Whit- man and other lawyers upon the consti- tutionality of his bill to prevent the un- lcensed sale or possession of weapons. thy statement he insisted that tirely within the police power of @ to require a license as a condi- tlon prerequisite to buying, carrying or keeping at one's home weapons pro- scribed In what is known as "The Bull!- van bill.” Chiefly of interest in the statement ts the assertion that before It was present- ed to the Legislature {t was revised by & Justice of the Supreme Court, The Senator declares that the bill is simple and easy of understanding, He charges that manufacturers of firearms are b hind many of the technical ob, to the bill, upon which point he “L have got my suspicions that a lot of these technicalities and hair-splittings are being thrown out or inepired by those who are most interested in hav- ing the provisions of the law annu that is the manufacturers and dealers |in frearms—who seem not to care how many people are killed, how many fara. ies are being bereaved, how many d j pendent widows and orphans are le! | how many are wounded and maimed as @ result of the promiscuous sale and [use of frearms so long as they get their }full share of the profit through an in- Giscriminate sale.” | He waid that the purpose of the bill war to prevent undesirables from pos- |wessing Weapons, and that he favored | the Issuance of licenses to household- ers (who, under the Whitman opinion, have w right to keep weapons bought prior to Sept. 1, anyway) not only by the Police Department but by the Magistrate sitting in each jurisdiction, and at a nominal feo.
