They got Michael Angelo Spencer Luigi
Harry Davis yesterday. 1t was ABOUT
time, in the opinion Of the uptown Italian
colony, that they did get him he was the
most suave separator Of cash from the
persons of its rightful possess ors that ever
wandered through Little Italy or the Eng
lish colony Of Greenwich village.
He was Harry Davis upstate and IN
Pennsylvania He got boy from Utica
who was ambitious and adventurous to
70 with him to Poughkeepsie about year
ago to get job as bellboy in the Nelson
House. The boy gave him SIS for getting
the job Harry Davis came on to New
York. And the boy found there was no
JOB at the Nelson House for him. The
Poughkeepsie police came down here and
found Harry and he retired to somewhat
monastic resort for three months to think
over the impression that he had made a
mistake.
A little while ago DR., Veccio. druggist
at ll3th street and Eighth avenue, was
visited by pleasant young American Of
Italian descent. who said that he was DR..
Luigi. DR.. Luigi said that he was a surgeon
in the Marine Hospital at Hudson, N. j. y
He told most inspiring story of his struggle
to attain rank in his profession and the
generosity of the Government in helping
an alien son along.
Dr.. Veccio was greatly impressed. Dr.
Luigi told of his youth in DR.. Veccio's
native town, Palermo. Dr. Veccio was
moved almost to tears. He went out and
gathered together seven other Italian
druggists Of New York and they gave a
banquet 10 Dr. Luigi in DR.. Veccio's apart
ments. They made speeches so eloquent
and full Of compliments that Dr. Luigi
might we'll have imagined that he was
Whitelaw Beid bound for the Court Of
st. Jamess.
As particular favor DR.. Luigi asked
DR.. Veccio to recommend number of
Italian biooded citizens who would go t.,
work in the Marine Hospital Of Hudson
at good salaries as nurses and helpers.
DR.. Luigi said he wanted to give some Of his
fellow countrymen as good chance as he
has had himself. OF course they would
have to give him bond a cash bond Of
throw up their jobs inside Of six months.
He collected $40 each from Orazzo and
Giovanni Maritato, Pasquale Pietro AL
bertino, Ambroeio DISCO, Davide Liquori
and Pietro Vnoinguerro, all OF whom
lived in the tenement nearest the drug
store. Then DR.. Luigi went away.
DR.. Veccio was assured by the six gentle
men who had given DR.. Luigi assurance
money that they would assert his innards
and distribute them to the shad 10 the North
River pretty soon unless Dr. Luigi showed
up and made good, DR.. Vecoio called
Oh the great Petrosino the boss dago de-
tective, and asked him VII at could be done.
Petrosino assembled the whole dago sleuth
squad Degillio, Cavano, Bunnoil and all
the rest and went looking for DR.. Luigi.
They found that the same DR.. Luigi
had been in Syracuse as a theatrical man
and that his name there was DR.. Chugci
Guagliarello. He was detained for thirty
days in Syracuse Jail for petty larceny.
He once had an Office in furnished room
in West Fourteenth street. where his name
was W. W. Spencer. There he used an
English accent with great success. In
the trunks which the detectives found in
the Fourteenth street house were more
than 500 letters from stenographers who
wanted to be actresses. Most of the letters
showed that they had contained money
as advance fees to Mr.. Spencer.
Mr.. DIR. g-Davis-Guagl Acknowledgements
was detained at Headquarters until the
detectives should have an opportunity
to find some more of his friends.
