FAMILY OF M|LAN0
GIVEN ASSISTANCE
BY MGR. FALCON|0
Future Cardinal Sends
Money to Wife and Chill
dren Of Accused Italian.

Mrs. Fortunate Milano, wife Of Tony
Milano. who is held for the murder Of
little Harry Elton Smith, has received
$40 from Monsignor Falconio, of the
papal legation. Mrs. Milano. since her
husband was locked up, charged with
the murder Of the boy, has had a hard
struggle to provide for herself and chill
dren. -..
Since The Times published a story
last Sunday telling of the circum-
stances in the Milano home, numerous
gifts have been made to the family.
Today the secretary of Monsignor Fall
cqnio admitted that the future cardinal
had made donation to Mrs. Milano.
Ordinarily Monsignor Falconio does
charitable work quietly and refuses to
permit his name to be used but when 1t
was pointed out to him that the an
nouncement that he had made a dona-
ton would influence others to help the
family, he consented for his name to be
used.
At present Mrs. Milano is living with
the family of LerenZo Serevese, 206
Canal street. If she can raise sufficient
funds, she intends to 90 to Brooklyn
and live with her mother until the trial
of her husband, and then return here.

the bill was not "railroaded" last even
