Threatening Black Hand" Letters
Received by Steelton
Barber

With threats of bodily harm to his
little children and of dynamiting his
home and store. an attempt has been
made to drive Aqualina Rom.no. a
Front street, from Steelton, in a num-
Der of letters signed by the BLACK
Hand"
The first letter was received by
Romano about a month ago and was
very indefinite. All the barber could
make out of the missive was that he
was to get out of town and that if he
didn't go something would happen"
Romano paid no attention to this
letter. y few days later he received
another. in which he was informed
that If he failed to heed the warning
of the brotherhood" his little daugh-
ter's ears would be cut off and sent
also ignored.
on October l Romano received the
third letter. This missive bore a rough
pencil drawing of a bomb and threat
ened to blow his place up like a bal
loon If he didn't leave Steelton within
eight days. This letter Romano turned
over to the police and two patrolmen
were detailed 10 watch his barber
shop and store continually. The eight
days passed and Romano received the
fourth letter Saturday.
In this letter he was given a final
warnins to leave and that the broth
erhood was going to get busy now"
None of the letters contained any de-
mands for money. but all insisted that
he must leave town immediately. The
last letter ended with the threat: You
better not think the brotherhood is
blufiinP; we are not; we mean busi-
ness" All the letters were mailed in
Harrisburg except one, which came
srom Steelton.
Romano is of the opinion that some
one who is unfriendly to him wants
To frighten him. The strain. however
is telling on his wife, who is in con-
stant fear for the safety of their three
pretty little daughters. and even the
knowledge that two stalwart police
men arc guarding the place through
out every hour of the night doesn't
a)lay hes fears.
