NEW YORK LETTER
New York, Jan. 2.-This is just
alittle story of one time the Black
Hand failed.
1t was an hour after midnight.
In the little coffee house of JOS
eph Gallucci, Michael Moreles
was playing a little tune on the
violin. He was alone, save for
GalIuccIs cat, which rubbed
against his legs.
The door burst open. A po-
iceman rushed, in. He glanced
around the room once; then
strobe through into the back
room.
A little crippled man was lying
there, quite dead, and with a bull
let through his brain.
The policeman questioned
lOTeleS.
Moreles was blankly ignorant
of how the little man came to his
death. Oh yes, he knew he was
-Anelio Prisco-everybody in
Harlem's Little Italy knew Anei-
lilo Frisco.
Everyone in Harlem's Little
Italy had reason to. For Frisco
was a blackmailer. He was said
to have killed at least four men
who would not come through"
He was feared and hated by every
shopkeeper, every barber, every
bootblack, every resident of the
crowded district, who had few
dollars.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-01-02

In the coffee house, there was
left only the cat, and the fiddle,
and the bent, twisted little corpse.
Hours passed, and the police

formation from Moreles. And
then Moreles, Gallucci, his wife,
and his nephew, John Russomano,
entered the station house. Their
faces were white and strained
looking.

ing of Frisco, the blackmailer,
said GaHucci, simply.
And this is the story they told:
Gallucci, Mrs. Gallucci, Russo
mano and Moreles were making
merry in the coffee house that
evening.
Suddenly the side door opened.
Frisco sided in through it, and
beckoned Gallucci into the back
room. They all knew what he
wanted.
In the back room, Frisco drew
an ugly looking revolver and
thrust it into Gallucci's sweating
face.
Give me $780, he said, cor I'll
blow your head off"
Russomano knew what was
happening in the, back room. He
crept behind the coffee house
counter and got Gallucci's revolt
yer. He tiptoed to the partition
which cut off the back room.
Frisco heard, and whirled
around. But he was a moment
