"Blackhand' Note in Coffin Terrifies Negroes
JEALOUS WOMAN BUSY

Superstitious negroes in the vicinity
of Trenholm street today are atremble
with fear and excitement.
The cause-a little black, cloth
trimmed coffin about a foot in length
which was left by some mysterious per-
son on the front porch of the home of
Charles Mccullough, a negro, 80 Tren-
holm street, and which contained a
dire and dreadful Black Hand note.
This was the collins only contents
1t was enough to give the whole
neighborhood the cold shivers, however.
as it threatened just exactly what the
coffin ypified-DEATH
The note was addressed to no par
ticular one, nor was it signed. but it
bespoke plainly the insane jealousy of
a woman and its attendant thirst for
revenge. 1t is supposed to have been
directed to young negro woman Iiv-
ing in McCollough's home. and the ne
groes already have given her orders to
evacuate and leave the community at
once. Unless she is away within three
weeks. the blood -curdling note de-
crees. she must die. Here's the note

When Mccullough and his family
awoke in the early morning hours and
discovered the "omen of death" on the
porch, the whole family was in terror.
Not one of the negroes would ap-
proach anywhere near the grewsome
little black box The news spread like
wild fire. Superstition throttled what
ever courage the negroes may have
possessed, and the neighborhood was
panic stricken.
The police were appealed to, and Po-
liceman King hurried to the scene. AS
he stepped up close to the coffin the
fear-stricken negroes shrank back
aghast and many of them fled. When
the officer assured them there was
nothing in the coffin but the note, they
became calmer, but their fears still
ran riot
Officer King took the coffin to the po-
lice station, where it now reposes.
