ers. blackmailers and kidnappers that
have terrorized the Italian settlement

the new law which makes the mere

passed particularly to assist the police
against elusive Italian criminals whom 1t
is difficult to convict because their VIC

While Costabile spent last night in the
Tombs, unable to obtain 10000 bail,
twenty policemen under Inspector Hughes
of the detective bureau sought trace Of
five men whose names were found on a
crumbled sheet Of paper In the prisoners
pocket after his arrest in Prince street
yesterday. He had what the police de-
scribe as a dangerous bomb in his pos
session. Costabiles movements here and
abroad have been watched since 1908.
When the five other men are taken into
custody, Inspector Hughes asserted last
night, he hopes to obtain important in
formation regarding the series of bomb
explosions and murders in the Italian
