FOUND DEAD IN TUNNEL
FINkELsTEIN DIES A VICTIM TO
GALL OF GOLD.
Il is Believed that Moving Picture
Shows Lured Painter Into
Robbery Attempt.

New York City.-Finkelstein, the
turnover of Ludlow street, was found
trapped in his tunnel here, like rab,
bit in her warren. Sappers and min
ers had been digging SO hours for him.
Nothing more miserably futile and
hopeless was ever seen. There he lay,
under the middle of the street,
crushed, Tiiry semblance of man. his
face in the dirt, his hands stretched
out pointed toward the unattainable
millions in the vaults Of the East Side
branch of the Fourteenth Street bank
and diamonds in the window of the
jewelry shop next door, His wife and
their five children saw the first stroke
of the pick that uncovered his Shoes
They had been watching the sappers
in the trench all night and all day.
Sarah, the Oldest child, was hard eyed
and defiant.

said doggedly. HE does not dig for
anything. He went down into the eel,

Her mother, not less loyal but wiser,
rocked to and fro, weeping silently,
and would neither be comforted nor
ask help.

And the dream collapsed! What in.

had told her.
East Side moving picture theatres,
and many successful bank robbery

These things may have worked on the
imagination of the easy going, i'm
pecunious painter, with five children

VINEYARDS BUILT ON CLIFFS
Grapes Growing In Places In Italy
Reached Only by Ropes
and Ladders.

The steepest vineyards in all Eu-
rope If not in all the world are stu
ated on the northwest coast of Italy.
have seen grapevines growing in
many counties and in many queer
places, but nowhere have l ever seen
vineyards located like those on the
seacoast between Levanto and Spez-
zia.
The vines In some places along the
Rhine grow on very steep hillsides,
but nothing to compare with those
growing on the lofty Italian cliffs.
You can now and then get good
glimpse of these vineyards while rid
ing in the train from Genoa to Pisa,
which follows the coast almost all the
way. The trouble is that tunnels suc-
ceed each other in rapid succession,
thus continually breaking of the view.
of the sea and of the rocky coast. !,
After leaving Levanto, a small town
situated on semicircular bay, and
going through long tunnel, you soon
come to what are called the villages
of the Cinque Terre. Each village is
separated from the other by lofty
cliffs. The vines cover the face of
these bold clits. which are almost
perpendicular. AS such places can be
reached only by ladders or ropes the
difficulty of working the vineyard and
of gathering the crop of grapes can
easily be imagined.
Almost as striking are those places
where the vines are trained upon wire
across gorges made by the streams
which cut the rocky coast. This
whole region is probably unique in its
viticulture. Only men like the Italian
peasant farmers, who love the vine
and its luscious fruit, would go to SO
much labor and trouble as to plant
vineyards on the face of sheer cliffs.
