PRISON
TO SAVE LIFE
Slayer of East Side
IOughS Pleased.

] New York, Nov 20.-Luigi Poggi, the
slayer of kid" Twist and Cyclone
| Lewis, east side gang leaders, was
sent to the Elmira Reformatory yes
terday by Justice Scudder. He may be
released at the end of eleven months,
| if he behaves. His indeterminate SEN
tence was the result Of his plea of
guilty to the charge of manslaughter
| in the case of Lewis. The prisoner
was indicted on two counts of homf-
eide in the first degree, and his is the
first case in Kings County where a
defendant TO two charges of murder
has been allowed to plead guilty to a
charge of manslaughter
] Poggi killed his two men at Coney
Island last May His victims were
considered by the police of New York
to be the worst bad men, the city
ever tuned out and the kid" is said
to have died with boots on about
$4,000 to the good, money accumulat-
ed by extortion in the east side.
Poggi's mother, an old Italian wo
man, who lives at Is City Hall Place,
wept with joy when her son was
sent away yesterday, and John S.
Bennett, Poggi's lawyer, was more
than pleased that his client had
/
"Poggi killed these two men be-
cause he had to save his own life, and
we had abundant evidence from the
police and others to acquit him on
| both charges of murder" said Mr.
Bennett, yesterday but we did not
dare to let him walk the streets of
New York free man at this time
He would have been killed by the
gangs that have lost their leaders by
| his hand.
1T may seem strange that the
young man welcomes Incarceration:
his mother is pleased with his being
sent to Jail when he is guilty of no
crime in law, but our Investigations
have given ample proof that Poggis
life would not have been worth a
penny had he been set free at this
| time. We were prepared to prove at
the trial that Twist had engaged a
hack on the night of the contemplate
ed murder of Poggi, which was wait
ing around the corner for him and
| the Cyclone to hurry them away
Ito rendezvous where they could
lhave set up an alibi. We had as a
witness Michael Clery, a bartender
| in Madison saloon, Coney Island who
would have testified that the driver Of
| that hack was one of the Twist gang
and was armed. When this driver
saw that Poggi, instead of being
killed, had turned on his would-be
murderers and had killed them he was
| panic stricken and ran to Cleary,
handing him his revolver and asking
him to keep it in case the police
should get him"
What will Poggi do when he is
| released from Elmira?" the lawyer
| was asked
He will go to some other part of
the country, under an assumed name
and start life all over again in the
hope of keeping clear of the Twist
gang" said Mr. Bennett If he
came back to New York he would be
| shot from some doorway some rainy
night and the gang would even the
score for the deaths of the Kid and
the Cyclone 1t may seem strange
that this sort of lawlessness obtains
in New York, and that man should
be obliged to go to Jail to save his
life, but it is true, and l have every
| reason to believe that it would be
suicide for Poggi to walk the streets
of New York today"

FOUND SWEETHEART
AFTER LONG SEARCH

New York, Nov. 20-Jacob waited
seven years to win Rachel, but a
Greenpoint Jacob canvassed seven
miles of Brooklyn houses to find his
sweetheart and tell her she was heir
to small fortune. He probably told
her something else; but this is not

Florence Frodeys mother was dead
and she was II and housekeeper for
her father, Oscar Frodey, 274 Nassau
avenue, Greenpoint, last March, when
she quarreled with him and left
home. Prodigy made good wages as
an iron molder, had saved his money
and owned real estate He and his
friends, including the girls sweet
heart, tried in vain to find her.
Frodey became i'll last month and
begged to see his daughter before he
died. Search and advertising proved
vain, and Prodigy died on November s.
Among the searchers was the sweet
heart of Florence, who determined to
find her

shop in the latter location, after a

proprietor said the original of the
photograph was an occasional GUS
toner. After waiting four days in
this shop the patient young man was
rewarded.
Miss Prodigy entered, was instantly
recognized, and informed of her fa-
theirs death, and has gone to live with
her uncle, Charles Prodigy, at 2007

in a department store. She inherits
