The two prisoners are alleged to have bum

him.
They agreed to furnish n daughter to the
man, but demanded a deposit as a security for
his good treatment OF her for a year. The sum
OF $3.50 was fixed upon. the swindlers learning
that it was Piersantis total savings. The VIC
tim gave up the money, which was put in a
satchel, together with a similar amount by the
two men. This satchel was to be kept by Pier
sante until the girl was brought. and was then
to he given to a third party to keep for tho year.
Piersante kept the satchel for several days.
but no girl appeared. He then examined the
contents OF the bag. and found the regulation

outside.
An alleged member OF La Palla Nera. John
AbbruzZo, is now serving a nine years sentence
in Auburn Prison for a similar offence.
