LONG JAIL TERMS
New York Italians Sentenced For OBJ
tenses-Black Hand Theory Secuted


Two New York Italians, John Cas-
conf and Salvatore Sansoni, were each
sent to Jail for SIX months by Judge
James T. Meskill in police court this
morning on charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. It was
claimed that these men visited several
local Italians on Saturday and repre-
sented themselves to be either philan-
thropists who were collecting money
to be given to a war widow in Italy,
or as friend Of a well known Ital-
an who is in trouble and needs finan-
cial assistance to procure legal aid.
The men admitted their guilt.
Detective Sergeants A. J. Richard
son and A. G. Malone testified that on
Saturday they received information
that Black Hand workers were oper-
ating In this city and on information
given them they arrested the two men
at the depot. Joseph Capella, John
Capella, Visecont1 Guaseppi and Vasile
Filippo were among those who were
feeced in this city. According to
Sergeant richardson there is some ad-
ditional suspicion attached to these
two New Workers 1nasmuch as they
seemed very anxious to hide their real
identity and eagerly sought communi-
cation with friends In New York that
they might obtain bonds. The police
are also said to have additional infor-
nation to the effect that one of the
men made serious and blood curdling
threats against one Italian who re-
fused to contribute to their alleged
fund. The Black Hand theory is,
however, secuted by the authorities.
