MURDER COST IN

New York, April 22.-Keeping

Those skeptics who have thought
the professional gunner OF Gotham
a myth exploited for the sake of the
movies, have seen their mistake dur
ing the trial OF Giuseppe Arichiello

killed Baff.
Carmine di Paola, called the col.

Arichiello and revealed the method
by which person may contract for
the killing OF another without dan
ger to himself.
In the Baff case, Ippolto Greco,
known as the proprietor OF the no.
torious murder stable. about which
have clustered 10 assassinations in
the last four years, was charged with
being the go between with whom
higher ups arranged for killings.

by which they are transferred to

this the grain is raised on an inclin.

The pickers are Gin. spikes fastened

bundles and the turning of the bar
deposits them on the carrier. The
pickers also gather up the loose grain
about the shocks. A 2O.in. drive
wheel operates the carriers, pickers,
