WHEELING, March 19.-The above
IS copy Of a letter written by Al
bert Snedeker, a well known farmer
and daIryman of Mt, oivet, and left
with $1,000 In large bills. extorted
from him by threatening letter sign
ed simply @Black Hand" In the threat
y ne was warned that unless he left the
money under a certain stone, near
gate a quarter of mile from his home,
either he or one of his family would
be killed.
Harry ReIk, q farmer boy scarcely
over. eighteen years of age. was the
writer OF the Black Hand note, and his
arrest was effected. just as he was
taking the package of money, by Dep
uty srerif Curtis Rice. Deputy Mar
shal Elzie Williams and Detective
trhomas Kelly. of the Wheeling detec,
i've force. ofacers had been picked
who have been in number of des-
perate situations and whose ability
was known.
;Mr Snedeker told w. R. dudley. the
merchant with whom he dealt, of the
letter. and the latter reported it to the
authorities, with the result that the
capture was effected. In the mean.
time, ar. snedelzer had weakened and
decided to place .he sun demanded un-
der the stone When he at first in
formed Mr.. Dudley of receiving the
letter, he asked him to have all the
s-oficers who were detailed on the case
to first kneel down and pray. as the
quest was likely to prove a dangerous
one. 1t is not recorded whether the
'ofacers followed this plan, but at any
rate they all took precautions to go
heavily armed.
The parties all live on what is
known as Yankee HILL" near Mt.
toltvet.
The Warning.
Early Monday morning W. R. Dud-
ley appeared at the sheriff's office and
stated to Deputy Sheriff Curtis Rice
that Albert snedeker had received a
not signed "Black Hand" and warn
ing him that unless $1,000 were left
under a certain stone quarter of a
mile from the Snedeker home at Mt.
oliyet on the Caldwells run road, by
q o'clock Thursday night, snedeEer or
one OF his family would be killed.
He stated that Mr.. Snedeker had de-
cided to leave the money as request
sed. Deputy Rice advised him to have
a dummy package fixed up and leave
instead. and that he would pick two
other Officers and watch the spot des-
ignated. Later Byr. snedeker went to
III. Dudley and told him not to have
the officers put on the case as he had
decided to leave nothing. From this 1t
was suspicIoned that snedeker has
weakened and decided to leave the
money to avoid trouble. and Deputy
Rice planned to watch the spot desIg-
mated
A desperate battle with Black Hand
operators was anticipated, and United
States Deputy Marshal Elzle Williams
4 ana Detective Kelly, OF the city force,
were selected as men upon whose
nerye and staying qualities absolute

placed
