UNfARTH CRAFTY
BLACK HAND GANG
Federal Inspectors in Ohio
Break Up Biggest Branch
in the Country.
OPERATIONS ARE EXTENSIVE
Several Arrests Are Made-Fleeced
Wealthy Italians in Many of
the Big Cities.

Cincinnati, June 10.-In several ar
rests made in Columbus, Marion and
Dennison, Ohio, yesterday, local fed
eral inspectors and detectives who
worked in conjunction with them in
tie case believe they have unearthed
the biggest and best organized branch
of the Black Hand in this country,
Marion, Ohio, being probably the
headquarters of the organization
Chief Postoffice Inspector Charles
Holmes of this city, who is in charge
OF the work which has resulted in the
arrests so far made, is authority for
the statement that
Evidence Has Been Secured
showing that the gang operated from
Marion, with lines reaching in num-
Der of big cities of the country, have
fieeced different persons in this and
other states out of thousands of dol

more so, than those already made.
Worked Italians Only.
Inspector Holmes says that the
gang which conducted it's operations
from Marion was composed Of Italians
and worked exclusively upon their
countrymen. He has obtained evil
dence that as late as two weeks ago

WItLDS RAzOR-EDGfD KNIFE
Mad H0g-Killer Kills Five Fellow Work,
men and Fatally Slabs Three
Others.

Boston, June s. Afrightful tragedy
was enacted in the plant of the North
Packing and Provision company at
East Somerville Saturday, when John
Murphy, a ''pig sticker," suddenly be-
came raving maniac and ran amuck
among more than hundred of his fell
low workmen, killing five almost in
stantly, fatally wounding three others
and slashing several more before he
was overpowered.
Panic in Killing Room.
There was panic among the en-
ployes in the killing room, on the sew
enth floor, when Murphy began his
deadly work. All hands rushed for
the doors, with the maniac in close
pursuit, brandishing the raZor-edged
knife, about ten inches in length,
which he used in his work of slaugb-
tering hogs.
Down the stairs he pursued the
crowd of yelling workmen, slashing
vigorously as he overlook first one
and then another.
An italian grabbed an iron bar go
ing down the stairs and knocked Muir
ply to the floor with it, but he was up
in an instant and cut several more be-
fore another blow from the bar
stretched him on his side and the bar
dropped from his hand.
Captors Beat Slayer.
But he was still conscious and, stag
gering to his feet, ran into the ham
smoking department, on the third
floor of the building. Here he was I'M
able to breathe, and as he tried to get
away from the suffocating place he
was jumped upon by dozen men,
borne to the floor and captured.
Some of the workmen were SO en-
ragged by the fearful scene that they
had witnessed that they lost their
heads and administered a severe beat
ing to Murphy before the police could
get him away.
Murphy had been acting queerly of
late. He is a married man with three
children. He has worked for the COM
pany five years and has always been
regarded as a sober, steady and indus
trious man. He is short, stocl1y and
powerfully built. From his occupation
of cutting heads off swine he had ac-
quired fierce dexterity with the nine
inch knife.
In a padded cell at the Somerville
police station Murphy allowed no one
to approach him yesterday, and after
hours of raving he began to pray. To-
day he will be given hearing.

LEAPS TO DEATH
IN NIAGARA RIVER
Buffalo Man Sees Young Wife
Throw Self Into Water Near
Brink of Cataract.
QUICKLY JUMPS TO RESCUE
Struggles Desperately for Over an Hour
to Save Wife's Life, but
Without Success.

Niagara Falls, June S.-Louis Cohen
of Buffalo saw his young wife leap
into Niagara river between the Sec
ond and third Sister islands yesterday
afternoon, only $50 feet above the
brink of the cataract. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation he followed her,
ate struggle to save her.
Mrs. Cohen probably died in her
husbands arms. Before it was posi-
BILE to bring efficient help an hour had
passed, during which time Cohen was
making frantic attempts to reach
shore. With his wife tightly clasped
to him, he felt the twenty-mile cur
rent carry him against tree stump,
which he caught with his free hand.
Waits Long for Help.
He shouted for help and word was
carried to the reservation police, but
nearly an hour elapsed before officer
James Martin, accompanied by Repre-
sentative James S. Simons and three
other men, arrived with ropes.
They threw the rope three times be-
fore it dropped WITHIN Cohen's grasp.
When he caught it he was too weak
to tie it about his own or his wife's
waist. When Cohen finally caught the
rope the men On shore began to pull
him to land, but within fifteen feet of
the shore he lost his grip on his wife's
body and it was carried down stream.
Cohen's first words when resuscitated
were: my wife is out there. Go and
get her. She is dead. She died in
my arms"
Daring Men Save Body.
A crowd skirted the Goat Island
shore looking for the body, and Cohen
Joined them, insisting that the body
must have stopped short of the cata-
ract and might be rescued by men
daring enough.
William Barnett and Hugh Brown,
two of the searchers, finally saw the
body held fast by rock about 100
feet above the brink of the cataract.
Without ropes they waded into the
stream and with great difficulty
brought it to land. Life was extinct
Cohen, who recovered quickly from
the shock, says that worry over the
care of her baby depressed his wife
and probably caused her death.

clipped his hair and carried away his
hat Wilson lodged in mountain style
and dashed for the house, few yards
away. His wife slammed the door be-
hind him. A fusillade of bullets whis
tied about him on all sides, but none
struck him.

killed his first man, John Spicer, who
had attacked his father.
