pearl necklace recall the story of a
similar experience which a New York
woman had after the last Old Guard
ball. She also missed her necklace
when she arrived at her home, and
a woman who had shared her car
rage on her way home. Handing the
necklace to her friend, the finder said:

thought they were real."-New York

Of Harvard, one of the foremost au'
thorlties on the psychology Of sugges-
ton, such epidemics as the Black
Hand letters may be traced almost d.
rectly to n~ervously d~isordered persons
who have had the suggestion made to
them by seeing wild-eyed Black Hand
stories, written by cub reporters. In
the daily press. 1t has become almost
a mania with the cub reporter to see
Black Hand societies every time he
finds a murder of a foreign-speakfng
citizen. There are thirty-five cases OF
record in Chicago of persons writing
themselves Black Hand letters and ap-
pealing to the police for protection and
asking TO be sworn in as special po-
licemen, in order to save themselves
from their dread tormentors. The
real purpose IS, Of course, to get to
be a policeman In order to take out a
grudgo against a neighbor.
The Black Hand crime Is in almost
every case a crime of deliberations.
even when it springs from the crazy
brain Of a person who Is properly a
patient for a homeopathic institute.
Hence the small percentage of Italians
on police records where even bona fide
Black Hand letters are looked up. The
Black Hand itself has been stamped
out In Italy. The Black Hands ~hich
nave arisen in America are Werely
homeopathic cases Of degeneracy, with
a list of names as hybrid as the popu-
lation Of this melting pot. The Black
Hand letter writer belongs in a hospi-
tai. There Is no real Black Hand In
America.
