Two Gases That Prove
Potency Of the sian.

Maria Kappa, who with Stanislaus
Pattenza was on trial last December
for kidnapping Giuseppe Longo and
Michaele Rizzo, was given the death
sign in open court. She would have
told her whole story but for that rea-
son. A member of the gang of Black
Handlers who were associated with
her gave her the sign and she posi-.
lively refused to talk further. Moth
ing would move her. She knew II
she made any disclosures she would
be killed. Justice Lewis Fawcett, who
tried the case. admitted 1t. No one
saw the death sign given to her, but
the fact that she stopped in the mid
die Of her testimony and turned
deathly white is conclusive evidence
that 1t was given to her.
II her testimony had not been
halted by the death sign we should
have been able to round up every
member of that gang of kidnapers.
She knew them and was ready to tell
all; but when the death sign was
given to her she knew If she divulged
single name her life would not be
safe, even In jail. So 1t will be seen
that the death sign is often a serious
hindrance to our work.
In another kidnapping case the
death sign was plainly seen. Rosina
Martinese, woman held for com
plicity in the case of Pietro Pampi
nelli, had agreed to tell the truth
about the affair on the condition tha'
the charge against her be Withdrawn
Her lawyer and the assistant distric
attorney had agreed to this. and she
took the stand to confess her part II
the crime. Even Judge O'Sullivar
asked her If she was ready to confess
and she answered in the affirmative

carry on a large part of their inter-
course by means of gestures. A shrug
Of the shoulders. the raising Of the
eyebrows. gesture Of the arms may
mean more to them than whole sem
fences. Then, too, sign is more
impressive than spoken or writ

made more quickly and is far less
likely to be detected.
The origin of the death sign is OBJ
scurS l doubt II any Of the men who
have used 1t could tell how 1t orig
mated. 1t is very evident that the
placing of the finger to the lips means
silence-as a sign of silence 1t is
as old as the hills. Probably the
pressure Of the teeth on the finger
is significant OF the fate that will
follow II the Injunction covered in
the sign Is disobeyed. The sign has
been employed in southern Italy al
most as long as tribunals have ex-
listed, and It has doubtless been used
many times here In America since
we began to receive 80 many Italians
that a distinct criminal class arose
among them. Trials Of Italians for
such crimes as counterfeiting, Black
Hand and kidnapping cases in recent
years have brought It to the attention
Of the public. When witnesses in
these cases suddenly refused to tes-
tify In open court the judges. the
prosecutors and the police knew the
death sign had been given, but 1t had
been done SO quickly and mysterious
ly that few knew how 1t was accom-
plished.
While I was in the secret service

Sicilian counterfeiters, and in several
Of the cases my witnesses whom /
felt certain would come through

true story on the witness stand
stopped short in the middle of their
testimony. and nothing could induce
them to utter another word. So In
subsequent cases l watched the peo-
pie in the court room very closely
and I was rewarded by seeing the
death sign made clearly and dis
tinctly. It was made just as l
described TIA quick motion to the

at HRrus disappearance, as she felt the
enchanted mystery OF Tokyo creep further
