Sh ortly after the wagon drove away
The conspirators emerged from the
shop and separating into two groups
silently disappeared. The stranger
who had remained outside Joined Lupo
the Wolf and man named Pecararo.
AS 1 sat bordering these strange
happenings the thought was insistent
that l had seen the stranger before.
In fact his face haunted me- but to
save me l couldn't identify 1t. or con-
meet 1t with any suspect / might have
in mind. But as I pieced out the
meagre facts the newspapers printed
about the Barrel Murder the more
convinced I became that the wagon
that drove up to that butcher shop
played some part in the tragedy. I
was haunted by the thought that
the wagon in reality had conveyed the
body Of the hacked victim Of that
murder to the place where 1t was
found in the barrel by Mrs. Corners.

States, and a casual review of it will
give one an idea of the iTImenstty of
the work of the Weather Bureau.

Another photograph shows two ofti-
Gals Of the Central Weather Bureau
in the act Of starting off one OF these
large kites. The instrument for max
ing the various records noted above
may be seen in It's position in the kite
directly above the gentleman's left
shoulder whose back IS toward US.
These kites are attached to long
wire which is played out from a large
reel in the small flying station. Dur
ing June %. 1911, height of over
four miles was reached by one Of these
kites, which required seven miles Of
wire to make this altitude. Sometimes
several kites are sent up on a single
wire, thus recording as many different
records simultaneously.
Most of the foreign governments
maintain a weather bureau similar to
that of the United States and before
the outbreak of the war daily reports
were exchanged between them and
this country. We have our own sta
tions In the Philippines, Hawaii and
Alaska.

Priema had described as carried by

Petto the OK. but by a strange twist
of the law we failed and for the
time being all the suspects were re-
leased from prison although I had my
men keep them under constant sur
veillance.
Petto the Ok left town and settled
| in little town in Pennsylvania. One
night while seated in his shanty he
heard a shrill whistle. Covering in
fear he extinguished the little lamp
that sat on his table and SELLING his
pistol he crept to the door, Shooting
in the direction from which he had
heard the whistle he fired one shot,
But the flash from .1is revolver re-
vealed his covering form in the door

the OK rolled over his body riffied by
five slugs fired from revolver of big
calibrs. He died instantly, his life
having been exacted by the members
Of the band with which he had op-
Grated. The finding OF the pawn
ticket in his pocket evidently had con-
vinced his co-conspirators that sooner
or later he would again be taken Into

All Die Violent Deaths.
That was the beginning of a long
series of violent deaths Those Of
this band Of suspects who were not
later arrested and convicted of coun-
terfeiting met violent deaths. The
hand Of the assassin seemed to be
relentless for these desperate cut
throats either were shot from ambush
or else hacked to pieces by the keen
blade of the stiletto. On nearly ev-
eryone Of the victims the mark of
the Black Hand was branded. On
the foreheads of each a Cross was
slashed or else their tongues were cut
out, which meant that they had either
| talked too freely or that they had
shown signs of wavering and perhaps
would tell all they knew II given the
opportunity on the promise OF Inn
munity.
But the Barrel Murder served It's
purpose after all. The New York pos
lice awoke to its true menace and
under the guiding hand OF Petrosino
did splendid work In rounding up
many Of its arch leaders and sending
them away for long terms or else
deporting them back to Italy. That
