Stable" Feud in New
/ Has Claimed Fl Lives in All
ITALIAN VENDETTA, BEGUN BY
A GIRL, HAS DEFIED Eff
FORTS OF THE POLICE.

A deadly italian feud, centerine
about little wooden stable in the
Harlem section of New York city,
has resulted in 21 murders within
the last five years. The latest victim
was Gaetano del Claudio. The other
day he was serving customers in his
restaurant. His mind on the merry
tinkle of the cash register bell, he
did not see the body Of man crouch
ed below the window that he passed
in going from the kitchen to the
dining room. Suddenly there was
crash, and volley from sawed-off
double barrel shotgun added one
more victim to the murder stable
feud"
Suspicion About Murder Stable"
Before Gaetano del Claudio died he
told the police he knew who had shot
him. "But I will not tell the law"
he said. "Only remember that ] have
friends, and if | would could say
who will be the next man to die
The people of Harlem's Little Italy
believe what Gaetano said. They
know that these Calabrian Italians do
not carry their quarrels to the police,
but settle them in their own way
That way is with the stiletto, the gun
or the pistol.
This was how the fateful vendetta
began. In 1912 Mrs. Pasquarella
Spinelli owned a stable at 334 East
One Hundred and Eighth street. The
stalls were always filled with horses,
which did not remain long. Always
they were sold and new ones took
their places. Some thought they
we're stolen horses. Mrs. Spinelli
grew wealthy and was known as the
"Hetty Green of Little Italy
One night Frank Monaco, known
as Chick" was found stabbed to
leath in Mrs. Spinelli's home. Her
laughter, Nellie, admitted killing
lin, but the story the girl told led
the jury to acquit her.
Not long after this a pedestrian
stumbled over a body lying on the
sidewalk few feet from the stable
door. 1t was Giuseppe Staffano, and
a long knife protruded from his
chest. His tongue was slit, which is
a Calabrian sign that he was an in
former.
Two months later Mrs. Spinelli
was shot while in the stable, very
likely by a friend of Steffano. Her
daughter would give the police no in
formation; but it is said that Nellie
knew who killed her mother, that she
made love to him, killed him in re-
venge and then fled to Italy.
The next man to fall in the feud
was Frank Bonnano. He was kneel-
ing in prayer in his bedroom when
an arm he did not see plunged
stiletto into his body.
And so the murders continued. Re-
venge, desire for power in the Grim
inal councils of the Calabrians, thiev-
cry, blackmail, all kept the feud alive.
In some mysterious way men seemed
to know who next was marked for
death. Many victim was found
wearing a coat of mail, which, how
ever, did not prevent a bullet from
entering his BRAIN

EGG FIVE YEARS OLD

Four years ago Patrick Downey of

letter written by Patrick Fee, who
lives in Scotland, stating that he had
purchased the egg on which the name

Scotchman said nothing of the quail

[From the Kalamazoo Gazette. !

FROM the halamaZoo Gazette.
The reproduction of the accom-
panying bills will be convincing evil
dence OF the tremendous increase in
the price of news print paper which
the Gazette is now forced to pay. The
Gazette uses a carload of paper every
ten days, or about / 900 tons per year.
This supply at the old price would cost
$40. 600 a year. Figured at the best
price thus far made by any newspaper
for its 1917 supply. 1925 per 100
pounds at mill, or $3.401s +. O. b. Kala-
mazoo. The Gazette's paper bill for
this year will be $4,000, or an in
crease of $4,000 over the cost of this
single article for 1916
We make this statement to appeal
to the sense of justice of our readers
and to prove to our subscribers how
imperative it is for us to make an in
crease of subscription rates so that we
may meet the serious print paper con-
dition that has already caused more
than 500 papers to suspend publica-
ton.
The raise has been DELAYED in the
vain hope that conditions would
change and improve, and thus not
force us to make the increase. But
instead of improving, conditions are
going from bad to worse and it is now
not question of the price of print pa
per. but the problem of obtaining a
supply TO meet our day-to-day needs.
