A member of the Mafe band which
n suspected Of having committed the
barrel murder has confessed. He has
laid bare to the District Attorney every
secret Of the organization which is
known to him. He has told not only OF
the work of the members in this city.
but IN the various branches of the Or
der all over the United States.
As to the murder of Madonna. he has
little light to shed except as to the
motive. for he does not know the facts.
but he has given the details of another
murder which was committed In New
Orleans Tor almost tho same reasons
which made necessary the killing OF
Benedetto Madonna in this city.

Joseph Damino is the confessor. He
10 the brother-in-law Of Madonna,
through whom Identification Of the muir
dercd man was first fixed. and who
gave the police their first clue as to the
motive which led Madonia's fellow.coun-
trynen TO kill him.
When Inspector McClusky learned
that Dampino had asked Madonna to
get an accounting of his property from
Malta members he knew that he had
quarrelled with them and gone on to his
death because OF the bad blood aroused.
Dampino. who was a member OF the
gang and was sentenced to Sing Sing
for four Years for counterfelting, feels
now thai he has been wronged by the
men whom he once served. He feels that
they did not stand by him when he was
arrested and have tried to rob him Of
what little money he had saved from
che earnings of his criminal career.
When they killed his brother-in-law be-
cause the latter tried to get this prop
erty back, that was the last straw and
he made up his mind TO tell everything
he knew In the hope Of getting revenge.
Z, Brought Here from Sing Sing.
He was brought TO New York from
Sing Sing yesterday by State Detective
jackson and committed to h Tombs
for three days. Later in the day he
was taken by Deputy Warden Hans
bury to the ofiiee OF Assistant District
Attorney Garvan. Tho prosecutor and
the criminal were together for four
hours. Through an interpreter Garvan
questioned the man and made him lay
bare every secret OF his life since he
came tn america,
The confession was taken down by a

The cultivation of chicory in this
country as commercial fertilizer Is
rapidly increasing, though confined
largely to sections of Michigan, ILL
nois, Wisconsin. Maine and Nebraska.
The yield per acre is said to be from
six to ten tons, but with good culture
as much as fifteen tons may be grown.
The average price is 50 to s. per ton,
and the cost Of growing ranges from
$50 TO $45 per acre. 1t Is stated that
under normal conditions the profit
from chicory is somewhat greater than
from corn or wheat Its cultivation Ia
similar to that required for beets, and
the same may be said also as to har-
vesting. The roots are taken to the
factory, and when washed are cut into
pieces about one-half inch in diameter
and roasted. Chicory has value as
q forage crop due to Its ability to pro-
duce well upon almost barren soil, but
when fed In considerable quantities to
mich cows 1t imparts bitter favor
to the milk. Swine will eat the root
and thrive on 1t, and both the roots
and leaves may be fed to horses
