IN BLACK HAND
PLOT, RUBIN SAVE
fContinued from First Page.)

FRIDAY night at - o'clock under
stone or your daughter Ida"
In accordance with the Instructions of
the police asdumnly package was placed
in the spot designated and a watch was
kept. II believe that it was positively
the Black Hand . said Mr.. Robin, be
cause I worked carefully on the case
myself, and had there moi been so many
detectives in the street some advance
might have been made by the parties
and they might have been caught. ASH
watched the dummy package a woman
In a poor suit of clothes and closely
yelled came along the street. She slack
u her pace at the lot, and beneath
her veil ] could sec her looking CLOSELY
at the stones.
Right after her came a man. wear
Ing a soft felt hat. He had a dark COM
plexion and was a bad-looking man.
sHe also looked at thesstones and walked
lip and down twice. then disap-
-4,peareds A boy watching the street told
me that the man and woman came to-
gether, and when I sent the boy for
Officer Sebold 1 went after the pair and
GUN them together in Paramount ave-
nue.. When l started to go after them
the woman went away quietly to the
side of the street where I could not see
her, and tbesman hurried off, so l lost
him.
When I went back, to watch the
stones / saw a brown dog come up the
street. He came only to the stones and
smelt all around them. He smelt where
, the package was lying and was very
curious about it., He did not take it
= bat started off on a run to Paramount
avenue and went right to the spot
where the mysterious man and woman
had been. / believe that the dog. is a
: trained dog, employed by the Black
Hand, and that if he had sIIelled money
he would have taken the package
stone Trap Found.
Another circumstance which leads Mr.
Rubin to believe that the Black Hand
was concerned in the, threat was the
placing of the stones in a triangular po-
sition yesterday. At noon they We're
all III : with one six feet from the
other TWO, but some time between that
fine and I in the evening they had
been placed in the same form as
the three balls of i pawnbroker's sign
anu Il otlldl hat StctS 10y pSNfi
fully placed SO that it would indicate If
1.-The stones had been touched.
Mr.. Rubin is u real estate dealer, and
while he admits. that he is in comfort
able circumstances SAYS that he is not
wealthy and does not w h lot men
toned in the letter or other property.
His daughter Ida, aged 1t. is a beautiful
girl, n is suffering from the nervous
strain placed upon her by the circum-
stances. She was anxious that the po-
lice be called to Investigate the matter,
land, though the paper used in the note
is said to be the same as that used at
the business college where she attends,
she does not think she has any enemies
there, and that nom would play so cruel
and heartlcss Il joke on her family.
The mother and elder sister also scout
he idea OF her having u connection
with the threat. except that her beauty
has attracted the attention of the Black
Hand (
81 Detectives from the Fourth Precinct
are working on the case and watched
the spot for hours. Detective. Philip
Sebold has been detailed to 1t by Cap
ain Vogel, and was the one to discover
that the paper on which the note was
written was the same as that used at
the New Jersey Business College, where
the girl is a student.
