Girolamo Mondini was one Of the
later suspects arrested by McCluskey.
He had been one of Rafaello Paliz-
zolo's band of cabmen in Palermo that
had the reputation Of fondness for
killing for the fun Of It. A more des-
perate set of men than these never
lived. It Is on record that a billiard
hall proprietor offered one OF these
men fifteen lire ($3) one night to
stick q stiletto in the leg of per-
feet stranger who had created dis
turbance in the billiard hall. The
cabman took the money, followed the
man and an hour later drove up in
front of the billiard hall, lifted out
of his cab the strangers corpse with a
row of Is stiletto wounds in the
chest, laid the grisly thing on the
pavement, tossed the fifteen lire into
the door and drove away.

run, but bullet dropped him before
he had taken two steps.
The second of the suspects in the
barrel murder case had met his fate.
Ignazio Lupo, "the WOLF" was the
business man of the gang. His saloon
in Prince street was favorite rem
devious of the counterfeiters. He was
slightly deformed and had very cum
ming mind. When the trouble was all
and was in business in the Bronx
colony uptown. About the time of di
Primo's release, he disappeared and
no one knew where he was until one
night he was found near the railroad
tracks In Niagara Falls with bullet
hole in his head, and before he died
In the Sisters hospital he told Gior-
dano Carmelo that 1t was the Madonna

Slain on Monte Pelegrino.
Behind Palermo grim and desolate
mountain rises. 1t is called Monte
Pelegrino, and 1t has seen enough
bloodshed for every rock to bear a
stain. The people of the city speak
of man going "the way of Pelegrino,"
which means with them the way of
death at the hands of the Malta. In
the old city Nicola Nera was known
before he came to America merely as
fruit vender who went about with a
tray of melons. figs or oranges on his
head. He left Palermo hastily after
the disclosure in the marvellous
Ricardi-Gavonne murder case and
Joined the barrel gang here. The re-
turning tide OF Italians homeward-
bound for Christmas year ago took
him back with clean police record.
He had been hauled in as suspect
merely. One night last fall he was
drinking in little wine shop, when a
little emaciated man with a crooked
smile came in, tapped him on the
shoulder and said something in his
ear Nicola Nera began to tremble
violently. but rose and followed the
stranger out. The next morning his
body was found on Monte Pelegrino.

poets was wiped out.

floor before the inspector and
searched. A heap of deadly coltelli
and pistols and many rosaries were
shaken from them. Each was In a
panic OF terror and their cries for
mercy mingled with the curses of the
officers. Trembling and bleeding,
their clothing torn from them, they
were lined up and put through the
third degree. When McClusky was

away to their cells the inspector said:
well, boys, we have got the right
men, and 1t is our fault II we don't

Could Not Be Proved Guilty.
On Petto the Ok were found pawn
tickets for the murdered mans watch
and other effects; clothing on the dead
mans body was identified as belong
ing to several members of the gang,
and they were the persons seen with
him two hours before the finding Of
his mutilated body.
But none of these men was convict
ed of murder. Petto the Ok was In.
dicted for murder In the first degree
and committed to the Tombs without
bail, and seven of his associates were
at first held as witnesses, but as the
district attorney was unable to gather
enough evidence against them they
gagged the best of counsel and after a
year In prison the district attorney
consented to his liberation on his own
recognizance, on the ground that he
had insufficient evidence to convict
him.
The failure to convict the barrel
murder gang for anything more serious
than carrying concealed weapons was
one Of the most costly miscarriages of
American justice on record. That
gang was the first fruits of the Black
Hand, and II 1t had been crushed and
its rooted connection dug up and de-
stroyed there might be no Black
Hand to-day, but the best that Petro-
SIM and the New York police could
do was to drive them out of New
York.
The day they were freed Giuseppe
di Primo was in a state of wildly ex-
cited suspense. When he heard the
news he raved, but suddenly grew
quiet, and kneeling with his rosary in
his hands, he swore the great oath of
vendetta. Then he waited, sending
word to his friends outside the prison
walls to keep constant trace Of the
gang, that he wanted to know always
where they were. At the end of his
three years term he walked out of
the doors of the prison, an exultant
smile on his crooked mouth. took

been, and then vanished.
"Petto the OK" First Victim.
Giuseppe di Primo is a little man,
with thin, hard face and a crooked
mouth. All who know him remember
him by his smile, which is crooked
and cruel.
AS soon as di Primo was released
from Sing Sing Petto the OK vanished
from New York. He went to Penn
