of his customers.
Several times CarrasOla received let
ta,s warning him that if he did not re-
establish the credi, system among his
coantrvmen he would be severely dealt
with. He paid DO attention to the
threats, however. On Saturday MS

dreds of letters relating TO the case OF
Mrs. Antoinelte Tola, who was repree-
ed last Friday for thirty days. The
most of these missives are from the South

as, appealing for mercy. But those
received by Vanhise are of the Black
Hand type, some of them smeared with
blood, and informing him that he will
never reach Hackensack if he starts TO
hang Mrs. Tolla. They are all from
Milwaukee and vicinity. One from that
city to the sheriff declares that the Jail
