MAY CLEAR UP GRIMES.

New York. Sept. with dapper
young italian, believed to be one Of the
country's master criminals in their
hands the police today spread their
nets for the gang of bomb throwers,
blackmailers and kidnapers that have
terrorized the Italian settlement, here
for the last four years. Giuseppe
Castabile, was arrested yesterday with
dynamite bomb under his coat.
"In many ways Castabile is the most
important prisoner we have ever en-.
tertained" said Police Inspector
Hughes. There have been seventeen
bomb explosions in the Italian colony
in the last month; how many Of these
Castabile, and his subordinates are re.
sponsible for do not know, but we
hope to fasten enough on him to re-
move him from the scene Of operations
for some time"
The detention of ,Castabile in $10,-
900 bail has proved the value Of the
new deadly weapon" laws and for
the mere possession Of a bomb Casta-
bile may be sent to the prison for
seven years. This law was passed
particularly to assist the police against
elusive Italians whom It is dimcult to
convict because their victims are
afraid to testify against them.
