Lima, the Marion fruit merchant, here
yesterday as the leader of the Italian
Black Hand society, has gone to CO.

Of incriminating letters found in Lima's
store. Some Of the letters, all written
In italian, were decorated with skulls
ind cross bones. Others We're prepared
with neatly drawn bleeding hearts
pierced with daggers.
With Lima there were arrested here
seven other Italians, and four later
were released, but Samuel Rizzo and
Sebastian Batazlio are held by the
sheriff. Both are section hands en-
ployed by Pennsylvania railroad.

their trunks were letters Of the same
character as the collection taken from

Italian, was arrested today at Belle
fontaine by Postoffice 1nspecor Hos
ford, and will be taken to Toledo. He is
charged with being go-between in Sc

nation concerning the assassination in
Italy Of Detective Petrosino Of New
York.
Emitted States postoffice inspectors
from Cincinnati believe they have dis
covered the headquarters of the Black

mand Of a Black Hand letter to give
up $1,000 or forfeit his life. He died
soon after eating q banana given him
