Italians was preparing to raise a fund
Of $510o0 with which to fight and stamp

few days ago on account of trouble
with secret society there was stab

shortly before the death Of Scardina,
Max Friend, a wealthy wholesale liquor
dealer. received third warning from
the Black Hand that unless he paid
$50 within "a hours he would be killed
and his home dynamited. Mr.. Friend
had received two warnings before but
had disregarded them. Last night he
remained at his home with revolver
within reach ready to meet any MEM
bcrs of the society who might attempt
to carry out their threats.
The murder of Scardina was taken
to be the result of a saloon brawl by
the police until the investigation was
made. The reticence Of witnesses
showed that something was behind the
staDbing.
Scardina was in his fathers saloon
with about 20 other Italians. Accord

saloon when he was stabbed in the
!, hn oil 10 no

That the Black Hand or some kin
dred society had been responsible for
the murder occurred to the police
when the elder Scardina said his son
had been forced to leave Buffalo by q
secret society. 1t was the police theory
that Scardina had been followed from
Buffalo by. an enemy who had escaped
in tho melee that followed the murder.
