BLAME men FOR
PETROslh0' DEATH
New York Police Say Two Prisoner
Are Responsible for Detectives
Assassination.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE police
department alleges in Ignacio Lupo
and Giuseppe Morello. who are In the
Tombs awaiting trial next week for
counterfeiting $4,000 worth Of two
and Eve dollar bills, they have the
men responsible for the assassination
Of Lieut.. Joseph Petrosino In Palermo.
The couple, the police allege. have
been responsible for the murder Of
half dozen Italians In various quar-
ters Of the country, as well as In Italy
and they declare Petrosino was about
to complete q chain OF evidence
against the two under arrest and sew
eral other well-known Italian bandits
when he was killed. According TO the
police the two men under arrest Will
be rearrested on murder warrant n
they should be acquitted Of the coun-
terfeiting charges.
Among the killings that the police
claim Lupo can explain n tA6 Barrie
murder n 1929 the staying Of "Petto
the OK in Chicago and Francesco
Catania In Brooklyn. The two men
are accused Of many kidnapings IN
and about New York, where Italian
children were taken away and held
until a ransom was paid.
II Is alleged by the secret service
agents that Lupo and Mortello was
the leaders OF "a counterfeiting band
that operated all through the United
States.
Eighteen Of this alleged band are
now under indictment and will face
trial next week. Secret service agent
Flynn declares he will show that the
gang operated fruit stands. grocery
stores and saloons In many cities and
that under this guise they succeeded
in passing much bad money.
They claim that Petrosino was
killed by mistake. He had been aid
ing the secret service to run down
counterfeiters as side line to his
black hand work in New York and
when he sailed for Italy to try to run
down the parent organization OF the
black hand. the counterfeiters thought
he was on their track and the word
went out to kill him and this was
done Had the real object OF his
trip abroad been known, II is claimed,
he would not have been killed. as the
black hand leaders did not fear ar
rest.
