now covered about 1900 miles, about a
third of the distance of the voyage to

Offender

Py Associat- Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12.--On last Fri
day morning letter was delivered to
Antonio Brenta. prosperous Italian, pro-
prietor of the Hotel Gianduza Upon
opening 1t he discovered that 1t was a
demand for $3.50. and the lives of himself
his wife and his child were threatened
unless he carried the amount in a sack
tonight and deposited it at the foot of a
certain electric light pole in Washington
square. The letter was signed "El Mano
Nera'' (The Black Hand).
Brenta took the letter to Policeman
Rocca, who advised him to go on with
the program, and offered to assist him
Brenta took a sack filled with poker
chips to the appointed place tonight and
then he and Policeman Rocca hid them
selves nearby.
At the appointed time a man appeared
to secure the money and was promptly
taken into custody by the officer. He
proved to be John Bona, an Italian, who
claims to have come here from New York
city November 6. He says that he acted
alone in the matter. although he alluded
TO ''the society in the letter. He says
he adopted this method of securing money
because 1t seemed easy to him. He is be-
ing held, and an investigation OF his
record will be made by the police.
