RECORD SENTENCES

Get Is to 80 Years
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

NEW YORS, Feb. 19-Probably the
worst group of criminals that ever
came to this country were dealt with
today by a United States court in a
fashion that should strike terror to
their wind. The punishment they got
was the heaviest ever given for coun-
terfeiting, so far as there is any record
in this country.
Ignazio Lupo, The Wolf and his
seven associates. the scum of the out
casts of Sicily, who had baffied Chief
Flynn's secret service men and the
central office detectives for years were
sentenced to terms ranging from Is to
80 years, Lupo getting the maximum
penalty The eight convicts will be
taken tomorrow to Atlanta to begin
their terms in the federal penitentiary
Somewhere in the lot was the man
who killed Joseph Petrosino, chief of
the Italian detective bureau in Palermo
last year One of the eight had been
heard to say: 1T was a good job we
did when Petrosino was put away"
And the government was prepared to
product testimony that this was no idle
boast.
