HAND BOMBS
FOUND IN CELLAR
OF BURNING HOUSE
Followed Gangs Demand on
Italian Undertaken for
$4,000.
COP DASFIES THROUGH FIRE
AND PREVENTS EXPLOSION
Bombs Placed and House Fired
While Family Was
Absent.

Policeman Delaney. of the Second
Precinct, risked death late last night,
when he dashed into the flaming cellar
under G.. ]. spatola's undertaking
rooms at IL Cutler street and stamped
out the lighted fuses which led to a
dynamite bomb and a quantity of pow
der, placed there, it is believed, by the
Black Hand.
Spatola and his family were absent,
being down town watching the election
returns. The place had been set on
fire in benzine-soaked places in the
bed room on the first floor and in the
basement.
Captain Brown, who had been con-
suited by s~pafola, following the. receipt
of Black Hand letters, had had police
men watching the place day and night,
and last night, while Patrolman Della
ney IA on duty, he saw a hickering of
flame In the undertaker's rooms. BY
the time /he reached the building the
cellar had broken out in flame. Through
a window he could see two fuses
stretched across the floor.
Breaking %through,A Delaney rushed
downstairs and through the flames and
reached the burning end of the fuses.
He stamped them out and then called
the fire department. The fire was
quickly extinguished.
Then the police found the dynamite
bomb, in which the high explosive had
been encased in iron the fuse at
tached. In another part was found
a package of powder to which another
fuse was stretched.
Several days ago Spatola received a
Black Hand letter demanding that he
meet the writer's at a certain spot in
Branch Brook Park and there, On a
given signal, he was to hand over
$1,000. This letter was given to Police
Captain Brown and two detectives
were secreted in the shrubbery around
that spot. Spatola kept the engage
ment, but the b~lackmailers were not
seen.
1t Is believed, however, that they
were there and that they saw the de-
tectives because the mex day Spatola
received warning that he and his build
ing were to be destroyed in revenge
for Informing the police.
