GANG OF MURDERERS
Terribly new YORK

NEW YORK, Nov. 2j-Secret Ser
vice Agent Flynn declares that Saliva
tore Blonde and his wife, Josie, who
are under arrest the man for counter
feltlng 2j-cent pieces. and the woman
for attempting to utter the coins, are
members of the gang of Italian Grim
inals which murdered Benedetto Ma
donna and stuffed the body in a barrel.
He does not connect them with that
bloody crime in any way, but with
the band only so far as the spurious
money making operations go.
Blonde had been under suspicion for
long time of having hand in coun-
terfeiting, but not until the police ar
rested his wife for endeavoring to pass
bad quarters Oh Monday night last was
any evidence obtained.
In the Blonde fiat, at No. 2055 First
avenue, was found a quantity of dyna-
mite sufficient, Captain Flynn says, to
have made kindling wood of the build.

by Blonde in only one way, and that is
that he has possibly been in league
with some of his countrymen who have
turned their talents to safe-cracking
Blonde explains that the explosive
was left in his house by man whom
he does not know, and again he says
he used it in building work. The Sc
cret service people have been unable
to find out just where that building
work was done.
Mrs. Ray Goodstein of No. 225 East
One Hundred and Fifth street, on
whom Mrs. Blonde tried to pass some
counterfeit money and who caused the
woman's arrest, is fearful that she will
be harmed by friends of the couple.
When she appeared in court against
Mrs. Blonde several evil looking Ital-
ians threatened that they would get
even with her.
Salvatore Blonde IA known to have
been a companion of Morello, whose
Malta society put Madonna out OF the
way. The secret service agents say
that they have seen the two together.
Blonde is over six feet in height and
is built like a prize 6ghter.

Editor Press: Why so much ado
about marriage for money?
That marriage Is civil contract by
law and an affinity of souls decreed
by God is true. My advice is: Never
enter into a money marriage. If a
woman is of sensitive, lovable nature
she will seek a companion to fill her
ideal, even though it crumble under
inspection. If silks, champagne and
the accompaniments fill her ideal she MAJ
get her portion as long as the money
lasts. When the money Is gone she
also enjoys the misery thereof in her
compensation. Nature is kind. Each
one gets his OF her exact portion Of
marital bliss.
Our girls should not expect too much
from marriage. 1t is only school
