SOLDIERS Of FORTUNE
MEET TROUBLE HERE
Police Investigate Methods of
Two Italians on Complaint
OF FeIIow-Countrymen.

Two Italian soldiers of fortune. re-
turned travellers from Mexico-so they
say-where their activities, according to
their own accounts. netted them a small
fortune. are in durance vile because the
police doubt their story and the honesty
Of their intentions toward a fellow-coun-
tryman who dwells in Washington.
Rather than intrust to the banks the
5000 that Giuseppe Baccanezo, an eight
een-year-old youth, and the unnamed
amount that his companion, Vincinzo
Loverso, an older man, said they had
garnered in the southern republic, they
proposed to. J. Paccini, who has coonized
in the National Capital. as Paccini told
Detective Oriana. that he take care Of it
for them and give them the 500 he has
in bank as security for it's safekeeping.
Somehow the negotiations did not seem
exactly straight business proposition to
the detective. Suspicious that all was
not right, and that perhaps sw1ndle was
to be perpetrated, he put the strangers
under arrest.
According to Detective Oriana, Bacca-
nezo went to the home OF Paccini, 12S
Indiana avenue northwest. yesterday aft
ernoon and told Paccini he had just re-
turned from Mexico, where he had made
$1,000. He declared his intention of plac-
ing the money In bank ana i6ter 10 pur-
chase ticket for Italy.
During the conversation Loverso is said
to have arrived. He also proposed to
place his money, made in the same way,
In some bank.
Put Trust in Paccini.
The sOundness Of banks was discussed
The travellers confessed to a certain
meaure of distrust. and greater conf
dence in the individual integrity of fell
low -countrymen in general and in Paccini
in particular When he admitted he had
500 in bank, some one made the sugges-
ton that he turn that amount over to the
fortune hunters. as security, and take
charge of their accumulations.
4 wad of money was displayed, Paccini
told Oriana. When searched at police
headquarters the fortune in pocket was
found to figure up about $50.
Paccini started for the bank to get his
funds to make good his credit as re-
sponsible depository when he met Detec-
tive Oriana. The tale came out. The ne
gotiations were delayed then by the arrest
Of the principals.
Baccanezo, before his Mexican trip, he
told Paccini, had been located in Chi
.cago. Loverso. who admits thirty -eight
years of age, gives his address as Brook
lyn.
They will be enabled to explain in Police
Court tomorrow morning the propriety of
their proposition.
