may aid them In unravelling the mystery sur
rounding the assassination OF the Italian, Salvatore
Torrina, ana the counterieting business with which
he was connected, but they fear to divuige them
at this stage of the case less the ends OF justice
may be defeated. Detectives Folk and corwin
were at work yesterday collecting evidence and
getting some OF the letters found in tho counter
feters den In Franklin avenue translated. 1t may
be ascertained through these who the parties are
that were connected with the gang, and II the
evidence may not be sufficient to show their COM
pliciy in the horrible crime, they can, ut least be
convicted OF counterieiting.

hcvcd TO be stained with Torrina's biood and an
other, who II not directly implicated in the crime.
