how tirelessly he could follow it was
that Of a homicide committed in Van
Cortlandt park, New York. On the
morning Of Aug. IS, 1905, the body Of
a man was found there. 1t had thirty
six stab wounds. There was no clew
to the identity Of the victim. The sur
geons held it was an Italian who had
been a man Of culture. Petrosino told
them the murdered man had been a
laborer and that he had probably been
a native of southern Italy. It looked
like a particularly difficult case to un-
ravel. but Petrosino discovered in ex-
aiming that part of the park near
where the body had been found a
small scrap of soiled paper lying in a
clump Of bushes. 1t had been tram
pied repeatedly by those who had gone
over the ground ahead of him. and it
was so begrimed that the little writing
on it was deciphered with difficulty.
The detective finally made out the
name "Sabbato Gizzio' and the ad-
dress "Box 239. Lambertville, N. j."
Though there was nothing to indicate
any connection between the crime and
the scrap Of paper save that the name
was that of IN Italian, Petrosino went
straight to Lambertville. There he
learned that Gizzio was working on
the Pennsylvania railroad at Stockton,
several miles away.
When he had found his man Gizzio
admitted that he had written the
name on the paper. He said he had

body Of the dead man as that of Tro-
sielo and told the police he had heard
that Trosielo had left Lambertville
with Antonio Strollo. another of the
gang Of railroad laborers. He also re-
membered that when Strollo returned
he had a wounded hand.

ment organized to crush out the Black
Hand order and other italian societies
which have resorted to crime and
blOodshed in the furtherance of their
vicious schemes. He had done more
than any other one man in the country
to stamp out these pernicious orders
and had in consequence earned their
bitter hatred. He died a martyr to his
faithfulness in the performance Of a
very dangerous duty, for his life was
in constant jeopardy. Threats against
him were matters Of almost daily &C.
currence, attempts to assassinate him
had been made often before the one
which succeeded, and he had grown
to regard such incidents as a mere
part Of his ordinary routine. With
splendid courage he stuck to his task,
shrinking from the execution Of
a plan because 1t involved unusual
danger to himself. Now that he Is
dead the authorities in New York and
Washington have determined to carry
forward the work in which he was
engaged with more energy than ever
and avenge his death by bringing to
an end, If possible. the outrages which
have SO excited the public and which
have aroused so much Indignation. In
this work the Italian government is
cooperating. and the Italian ambassa-
dor to the United States. Baron Mayor
des P%lanches, is giving his earnest at
tention to the fulfillment Of the policy.
1t is hoped to remove the stain placed
upon the name of Italy by the I'M
worthy som whose acts have brought
so much sorrow and suffering to many
homes and communities.
The American ambassador at Rome,
Lloyd S. Griscom. is also giving his
earnest attention in bringing the muir
derers Of Petrosino to justice.
Lieutenant Petrosino was born in
Italy in 1860. but was a naturalized
American. He was. therefore, entitled
to the protection Of the American gov
eminent, and his case is one which
would naturally and rightly receive at
tentfon from the federal authorities
even were they not already much in

dertaken to discharge when violent

to Italy in furtherance of the eXecu-

criminal Italian societies from coming

Looking Ahead,

The winter has departed,
And summers on the way.
So for your brief vacation
Arrange without delay.
Look up an aunt or cousin
Who owns a pleasant farm
And write a friendly letter.
1t can't do any harm.
Hotels are SO expensive,
And then the average fare
They hand to summer borders
VIII make a fellow swear,
But with your own relations
The time is better spent.
You eat the best and freshest
And never pay a cent.
And then your country cousin
Is honored by your call.
He likes to hear the stories
And quips that you let fall.
His wife just dotes on cooking,
And, added to their crew,
Another will not matter
For just a week or two.
So look up your connections
OF whom you oft have heard,
Perhaps a distant cousin,
A second or a third.
The problem will be easy,
For you can summer there
With just a little present
And simple railroad fare.
