"Black Hand" Society at Work in New
York.
New York, Dec. S.-Forty letters in
the hands of the police department
written by agents of the BLACK Hand"
society demand blackmail from as
many Italian residents of the city. For
weeks the detective department has
been at work trying to uproot this
newest band of criminals, who are
supposed to be closely allied with tha
Malta. Emboldened by the success
which met their earlier efforts. the
members of the "Black Hand" have
become more daring of late and have
created reign OF terror among those
Italians who are known to have
money. II Is owing to the similarity of
Its methods that the police believe
that la Mana Negra," or Black
Hand" Is an adjunct of the Malta. and
1t is upon this theory that they are
working. They are encountering the
same difficulty In discovering evidence
against this new organization that
they have always found in connection
with the older one.
