By Counterfeit Gang;
Body ThrOwn in Refuse
Police Say Man Found in Flatbush Was Killed
in BARRIERS Chair-NOse, Lips, and
Tongue Cut Away.

on the ice, which did not begin to form
until about midnight. No wagon tracks
We're found near the spot, and the po-
lice decided that the body, IN the two
bundles. was brought in wagon to the
end of Rutland road and from there
carried by the murderers over the sand
dunes and rubbish heaps 10 where il
was found
If the body had been carried only a
dozen feet further IL could have beeen
thrown into a disused sandpit thirty
feet deep, where IL might not have been
dlscOVere2 for weeks. and why THIS was
not done Is one Of the most puzziing
A dance win beb given ia Sangerbund
features OF the case.
Both of the letters found on the man
were sent from Palermo. Sicily. One Of
them was from his father. Antonio
MarChinne, and was filled with good
advice The other was signed Antonio
Coma, evidently an old friend of the
victim, and contained gossip concerning
mutual friends. Both were addressed
in care of Antonio Sesa a private
banker. at 40 Union street. Mr.. Sessa
told the police that a young man had
asked some time ago If he could have
letters sent there. and that last Tuesday
he had called for the two that were
found. But later the banker said he
could throw no further light on the
case.
Counterfeiters Killed Him.
The Identification OF the victim was
enough TO put Lieutenant Vachris on
the right track and last night he learned
that Marchinne was murdered by "a
gang Of counterfeiters. as was the vic
tim of the so-called barrel murder mys-
terry of four years ago. In that case Il
was at first believed that the man
whose body was found in a barrel on
the east side had been killed in a ven
delta, but later developments showed
that he had betrayed a gang Of
arrested and placed on trial. but could
not be convicted because no witnesses
were found brave enough TO testify
against the gang.
That the murder OF Marchinne was
deliberate and carefully planned IS
evident. The oilcloth in which the
body was wrapped IS new. and If there
were marks on it by which ii might
have been traced they were carefully
removed. Il is of a cheap quality much
used by Italians. but Of a design new
to the detectives. The background is
yellow, with figures Of children at play
printed large in red. All Of the stores
in the Italian quarters Of the city were
searched, but without finding anything
Ia match the pieces used by the gang.
Marchinne was about thirty years old.
5 feet 10 inches tall, weighed $50 pounds.
and had a mass Of dark, curly hair.
He was dressed in black. While not
expensive, his clothing was much bet
ter than is generally worn by Sicilia1
laborers. His hands We're soft. which
marks him as q man not accustomed
ITO manual labor.

johnson Il slated for : prominent

Nebraskan goes to shs White house.
Jol,nson's = speedy lrise to fame is al
most record breaker. even IN Ameri-
ca. When he celebrated his fortietI,
birthday seven years ago, johnson
was the editor Of little paper in tho
| little town Of st. Peter. MINI. and
was hardly known outside Of his
home county. Today his influence
extends over the nation, and he is
even better known in the East and
South than In the North and West.
1t was on July 2s. 1851, that John
son first saw the light in st. Peter the
village which he still calls home.
His father and mother were Swedish
im,nigranta. The former was hope
lessly addicted to drink and died in
an almshouse. while the mother, dur
ing the days Of grinding poverty In
wlIich johnson spent his youth, was
washerwoman. There were six
children in the family and the future
governor was forced to leave school
at 13 to take up the burden of their
support
Beginning his career as clerk in
general store at $40 a month, later
becoming a drug clerk and finally
the editor Of country paper. John
son was too busy to take an active
part in politics until about ten years
ago. In 1898 he WAS elected to the
state senate. and Immediately became
force for reform In 1904 he was
nominated for governor Of Minnesota
on the Democratic ticket. No one
thought he could win-except John
sou himself. Although Minnesota is
overwhelmingly Republican,, and In
that year gave Roosevelt majority
of l6l, 900 johnson carried the state
by 1000 In 1906 he was re.elected d
by 72,OO0.
