was found in the woods near Kingwood
under circumstances which Indicate he
was killed by the Black Hand. The

his death from cash in the neck. A
razor was found by his side which was
not the property of the dead man.

ployed at the Weaver quarries went out
on strike, but few of them remained,
including Bertaldi. The men who re-
manned at work were threatened with
death in letters signed by the Black
Hand. Bertaldi left his boarding house

Among all the meteor streams which

They range from July s to August %.
