 extending all over the United States, two of the best known Italian de- tectves in the country, both members of the Brooklyn department. with the assistance of Detective Captain Dunn and Detectives Daley and Colwell, landed a man in this city yesterday morning who is said to be a notorious murderer. Surrounding the arrest are all kinds of Black hand" intima- tons and stories.

He was dressing at the time, but in his coat pocket was a fully loaded SS-caliber revolver which he was given no chance to use. The mans wife fought | like a tigress and 1t was with con siderable difficulty that she was sub dued.
 The story of the mans crime, as related by the two detectives from Brooklyn, Michael Mealli and Paul Siminetti, is a gruesome one,
 They allege that early in Decem- Der. 1906, man named Francisco Mizzea kept a restaurant and saloon at Coney Island. Along the first of the month he commenced to get a series of Black hand" letters threat ening him with all kinds of punsh- ment
 Mizzei consulted his uncle, Aniello, 1 the man who was arrested here yes- terday, and, according to the officers, Aniello said that he would attend to the matter. It is believed now that the uncle was directly interested in the. sending of these letters, the mo- tlev for which, If known, has not yet been disclosed by the Brooklyn author ities.
 On the night of December 12, 1906, Aniello and two other men went to the saloon 'of Mizzel and bought q series of drinks. When the waiter brought them a check for about $4 they remonstrated With him.
 Mizzei came over to where the men were sitting, and as he did so 1t is said all three drew revolvers and fairly riddled his body with bullets. The three escaped. As 1t was considered that Aniello was the ring leader of the plot that had been carried out all effort was bent to effect his capture All over the country the two detec- lives went and their chase brought them to this city late Saturday night.
