ark. N. j., but eventually drifted to
Wilkesbarre. where he secured en-
ployment with the railroad contract
ors.
Two days after Rizzolo was dis
charged from custody he went to
Poughkeepsie. N. Y, where he start
ed a cofnmissary department for the
benefit of his fellow Italians who were
employed by Mr.. McFadden, who had
railroad contract in that section of
New York. Mike still had a passion
for making money quick. His pros
poets looked good.
But all the while Linden had two
employees at the elbow of Mike Riz-
zolo. Both of these fellows were Ital-
ians. One pretended to be half-wit-
ted and managed to be in the company
OF Mike all the while. He not only
worked with him, but he ate and slept
with him. Rizzolo on his part not
only gave the man his confidence by
day, but he poured his incoherent
dreams into his willing ear by night.
Detailed reports were sent to Linden
with religious regularity.
A few weeks after the crime Riz-

He must have had a smattering of
lawn fact, possessed that little
learning" which is dangerous thing"
because he said more than once to his
confidants:
"a man cant be tried for murder
twice. Once acquitted he's free
man."
He failed to realize that his hearing
before the alderman was not trial.
and that his discharge was far from
an acquittal. But from the moment
he was released his every footstep was
shadowed; every house that he en-
tered was marked; every word that he
uttered was overheard, and every
penny that he spent was noted in
a little red book kept by one of Lin
denis rubber-shoed sleuths.
Rizzolo seemed anything but des-
pei ado. He was about "a years old
and rather agreeable looking, except
for his nose, which had a discolora-
ton which won for him from his coun
trymen the nickname of Red No,-s
Nike He came to America from
Calabritto, in the province OF Avel-
linon, near Naples. In his ova coun-
try he was apprenticed to barber.
But he was restless and dissatisfied
with this employment and wanted to
come to the United States, where, he
had .aard, money was to be picked up
on the streets. On his arrival in
America he worked for awhile in New

"oh. no." he cried. 'I must confess.

And there in that little room, in
passionate words. he poured forth the
story OF the atrocious double murder
on the 1uzerne mountains.
''It was greed for gold" said Mike,

zolo's sister was married and he made
her a present of 5000. A month later
he presented HIS brother-in-law with
$1,000 to set him up in the bakery busl-
ness. Also, at sundry times he dis
played great rolls of greenbacks,
which were certainly not the profits of
his business in Poughkeepsie. Finally,
about the 18th of January, Rizzolo
made elaborate plans for trip to
Italy. He arranged to sail on the
goth of January. Linden resolved that
the Italian should never leave Amer
ica- He had ample evidence. He re-
solved to arrest him at once. So he
laid a trap to entice Mike to Phila-
delphia, thus bringing him within the
jurisdiction of the court
The Italian responded. As he alight-
ed from the train, Linden came for
ward to meet him. Rizzolo was
somewhat taken aback at the sight of
the detective. but his nerve did not
desert him.
What do you want?"
Il want you to help me out on a
little case I'm interested in," was the
significant response.
They drove down to the Philadel-
phia office of the Pinkerton agency.
Linden Immediately escorted his man
into his private office.

In a minute"
Mike felt uncomfortable. That was

Linden's purpose. The italian looked
about him nervously. HIS glare rest

The suspect arose, curious and fear
full.
What is it?" he cried.
Linden put his broad hand on the
mans shoulder

Rizzolo sank to the floor a shapeless
heap of crushed humanity
1t was some moments before he re-
covered his nerve. When he did so,
the detective said:

crime. No one knew this better than
Robert J. Linden.
His assistant, Capt. E. ]. Dougherty.
said:
"Shall we arrest Rizzolo?'
NO; we must get either a confes-
sion or sufficient evidence for a con-
viction."
At this critical stage OF the game
the local authorities who had heard
of the movements of Linden and his
assistants. re-arrested Rizzolo. Lin
den was not given to profanity. but
some of the things he said on that oc-
casion were unprintable. He foresaw
a trial and an acquittal-a fiasco, a
miscarriage OF justice. He went to
Thomas Quigley of Miners Mills.
