For Six Months, II Is Alleged,

Evidence is fast piiing up against
Antoinette Barris, 1G years old. of SIS
River street. which the police say
shows that she has been the author OF
several letters which were received by
the 16-year-oid daughter of Mrs. Maria

explain.
Detective Sergeants Long and Ryan,
of headquarters, arrested the Barris
girl Wednesday -on a charge Of forging
the name of Miss Rose c, Lynch to a
check for $50. She admitted having

Mrs. Maria Pariso called at police

story of her home. rs Morris street,
early today, while she and her 15-year-

As soon as she could, Mrs. Reilly
went down and took charge of the bar,
her daughter remaining with her. There
were few customers, and shortly after
midnight. while the mother was closing
up for the night, Bridget went upstairs
to prepare for bed.
She found her mothers room in dis

Mrs. Reilly almost frantic over her

ters was made. and Martin Johnson
and Frank Innd, who boards with the
Johnsons James Hayes, of 159 Mercer
street; John Larlsins, of SO Roosevelt
avenue, and John Murphy, of 81 Nor

before Police Judge Frank J. Higgins,
who held them in $1,000 each for fur

The police theory is that drugs were
given James Reilly in some manner
early in the night by the thieves. who
knew about the money. and that his
mother and sister would probably have
10 remain downstairs TO wait on Gus
toners, and that they carried away
the trunk because it WAS locked. as
they thought that would be easier than
risking the noise and delay in forcing
it open.

BOMB HURLED

MAINS 4
Wrecks Brooklyn Butcher
Shop-.Owner Had Pros
ecnted Italians.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-In searching
Hand Society. who late last night
hurled a bomb from a Long Island
Railroad train into Joseph Maggio's
butcher shop, 1924 Atlantic avenue,
Brooklyn, detectives from the Italian
Bureau today got a list of the former
friends of Maggie who have followed
him to this country from Italy.
There is little doubt in the opinion of
the detectives that the attempt to kill
Maggie and his entire family by blow
ing up their home is the outcome Of a
plot that has been smeuldering for
years.
Maggie told the detectives that when
he lived in Italy that he was active in
sending members of the Camorra to
prison. He left Italy soon afterward
and came here. and believes that be-
cause of his activity in war on the
criminals there he was marked for
death.
Four men were severely hurt by the
bomb. All were on the street in front
OF the butcher shop. A dozen men on
the inside escaped injury. They were
cut by flying glass and broken timber.
Maggie was preparing TO close his
shop for the night when a Long Island
train came numbering by. Suddenly y
missile came spiuttering through the
air and dropped at the door of the
shop. The next instant there was an
explosion that hurled the men in the
shop from their feet The front OF the
building was wrecked and the four
men on the street were caught under
the debris.
Maggio's wife and children, asleep in
apartments over the shop. were shaken
from their beds. The mother seized the
youngest of the children in her arms
and ran to the street. Other tenants in
the house followed. There was cry OF
fire and some Of them reached tho
street by the fire-escape.
The entire neighborhood was aroused
by the explosion and tenernents were
emptied. mon and women rushing to tho
street screaming.
The police called ambulances for the
four injured mon. They refused to go
TO the hospitals and were treated by
the surgeons and taken to their homes.
Maggie is regarded as a man in COM
Portable means by his countrymen and
the detectives at first thought an at
tempt had been made to blow up his
place because of a refusal to pay tribute
to the Black Hand Society.
