plOyed by the Gold Road Mining COM
pany. operating near Kingman. Ari-
IONA. was arrested today. and ac-
cording to the police. admitted that
he had taken s3.555 worth of gold
precipitates from the cOmpany's
cyanide plant. The finding of the
gold in the shop of A. Gracier, a
San Francisco dealer in precious
metals, by detectives, led to Kel-
logg's arrest.

now held on suspicion in San Fran
cisco. Suspecting that the gold pre-

A "Son of Vesusvius" But Not a

Viterbo. March 31.-The chief of
the Camorra, "EEricone" Alfani testi-
fled his defiance today. He described
how Abbattemeggio tried to black
mail him by a threat to make rev.
Citations against him. Erricone con-
suited a lawyer. who said that if
he were accused, his acquittal would
be certain, but that if he were ar
rested he would have to remain in
prison several years before his case
came to trial.
Therefore, the prisoner said he de-
cided to escape and went to New
York. He described his arrest there
by Lieutenant Petrosino. The pris-
oner said he was taken to France
and then extradited to Italy.
Erricone ridiculed the description of
the Camorra given by Abbattemeg-
gio calling ii fantastic and childish.
He ended his testimony with vigor-
Gus appeal to the jury. saying the
jurors must consider that the ac-
cused men are the sons Of Vesusius.

'PENNSY' CALLS ATTENTION
TO NOVELTY IN ADJ SWINDLE

Advertising swindlers are using the
Pennsylvania station in New York as a
means for swindles in many parts of
the country. A number of these have
been brought to the attention of the
Pennsylvania railroad and vigorous
means are to be taken TO put an end TO
them.
One swindle which has been perpe-
trated most generally is hat of a large
advertising poster, which, it is claimed,
will be hung in the Pennsylvania sta
ton in New York, and in addition in
various places and waiting rooms at
other stations along the lines of the
company. This poster contains a large
picture of the Pennsylvania station,
surrounded by advertisements.
The Pennsylvania railroad officials said
yesterday the company knew absolutely
nothing about any of these schemes and
that the railroad had no connection
whatever with any of them. 1t was
further stated hat IL a a well estab-
lished policy of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company not to have any adver-
Using matter posted on it's property.
