Attack Was Made on Tony
Giaglano Early Yester-
day Morning
MOULE AFRAID TO
GIVE INFORMATION
Police Compelled to Work by Them
selves as Many Principals in the
Case Are Afraid to Disclose
What They Know

The Black Hand, or men who are
using that name to cloak their real
identity, are still bounding Jake Moule
and his friends, the latest victims of the
alleged Black Hand gang.
1t was stated that yesterday morning
about 7 o'clock three unknown Italians
followed Tony Giaglano, friend of
Moule, and attacked him. The encoun-
ter left no serious results. but Giaglano
claims that the three men attacked him
because OF his friendship to Moule.
Giaglano has been active in attempting
to catch the men who were responsible
for the dynamiting of Moules store
early Wednesday morning.
Discovered by Detectives
This matter did not come to the notice
of the police department at all yester-
day until two detectives working on
the case found 1t out late last night.
Moule and Giaglano give as their rea-
son for not telling the police of this
attack and other things which might
help the detectives. the fact that mem
bers of the Black Hand are continually
following them and that should they
dealt with. No amount of reasoning on
the part Of the officers can overcome
this fear and they are compelled to
work in the dark.
Twice the department has been noti-
fed by less fearsome friends of Mou1e
when suspicious characters have been
seen about the store, but they have al
ways disappeared when the officers ar
rived.
Letters Turned Over
The Ave Black Hand letters which
Jake Moule has received purporting to
have come from the men who would
kill him If he did not send them large
sums of money, were yesterday morning
placed in the hands or detectives fol
examination One of these letters was
translated into English by an Italian
Interpreter, and facsimile OF the orig
inal and the translation are shown In
the cut on this page. All of the letters
are written in Italian, and there are
certain peculiarities of the handwriting
which the detectives hope may lead
them to another reliable clue.
Yesterday the detectives working on
the dynamiting case refused to give out
any information, only saying that they
had the case well In hand but that III
was at such a stage that the highest
secrecy must be maintained. One great
thing which has helped the detectives,
so they state, is the fact that the Ital-
tans whom they suspect have no inkling
of this, mainly on account of the fact
that they are unable to read the news
papers.
Many Italians who are friendly to
Jake Moule have rendered great assist
ance to the officers. No arrests as yet
have been made.

Judge Lane Not Disturbed

Judge Lane stated last night that he
had heard of the proposed proceedings
for some time, but that he was not
disturbed in the least about it. and
| that he had intended not to make any
statement until the proceedings were
filed. but that one of the afternoon
papers made a statement that was so
false that he felt compelled to reply
to it. The published statement was:
at Is reported the the plea set up
in defense of the quo Warranto pro-
ceedings by the attorneys of Judge
Lane will be that the office of addi-
tional Judge of the Tenth judicial cir
cult was In violation of the constltu-
ton, and that, therefore. the appoint
ment of Judge Lane as commissioner
was not in violation of the constitu-
ton"
Judge Lane stated that the forego-
ing statement was "fatuous, insolent
and absolutely false" and that at no
time had he made any such statement
person. He expressed much indigna-
ton at the statement which. he said
went hey ond the bounds of common de-
cency.
He stated that he would make suit
able reply whenever the alleged bill
was filed and that he was not now nor
had he ever been the least disturbed
by the rumored suit

Wilkinson Discusses Suits

Mr. Wilkinson said last night that the
proceedings would be filed Monday IL the
election did not take too much of his
time and certainly by Tuesday morning.
"a matter of further public interest, .
said Mr.. Wilkinson, is the fact that dur
ing the coming week we will fight man
damus proceedings against city commits
sicncrs to compel them to get back for
the city the physical property of the Peo-
pies Home Telephone Co. Under the
origial charter by which the Peoples COM
pany did business, 1t was expressly stip-
ulated that IL the company went out of
business the physical property should
revert to the city of Birmingham. In
stead of that the property was bought by
the Bell company and the city got moth
ing. We propose to force the commits
sioners to get back that property for the
city"
