FACES HANGING
AS PENAtTfN
MURDER CASE.
Jury Finds Sant;no De
Saints Guilty-Love for
Girl Caused Riot.

Marion, ILL.,, Dec. 13.-(Unitetl
Press)-Unrequited love caused
the West Frankfort riots last fall;
the love of a blackhander for a
pretty little Italian girl. y
Today the girl in the case, Mary
Calcaterra. is free; her brother
Amel is dead; her lover, Frank
Bianco, committed suicide and
Santino De Saints has been found
guilty OF murder by a jury which
fixed the penalty as hanging.
The last chapter in the sordid
story growing out of the love of
Frank Bianco for the Calcaterra
girl was started yesterday when a
jury here, after Is hours delibera-
ton, brought in the verdict of
guilty. The story started last
August when the bodies of Amel
Calcatterra and Tony Hemphill,
his closest friend, were found
brutally mutilated. In reprisal
mobs roamed the streets of the
little mining town OF West Frank
fort taking one life, injuring a
score and doing thousands of dol
lars damage to the property of
foreigners.
The web of evidence slowly
frightened about Frank Bianco.
Authorities learned of his love for
Mary and her refusal to comply
with his wishes. She told of his
power over her; of his making up
in the role of devil" and forcing
her to sign mysterious papers with
her own blood. He was arrested
and attempted suicide leaving be-
hind q note stating that he had
offered to pay De Saints 5000 to
kill Amel and brother-in-law OF
/ Mary's, Marco Calcaterra. Marco
has not been since, it was stated
The attempt failed, however, and
i Bianco and De Saints were held
to stand trial.
Last week Biahco, in the midst
of his trial made his second at
tempt to take his life and succeed
ed. The court held that the trial
would have to proceed as De San
| tbs could not twice be put in
jeopardy Of his life. Yesterday the
jury decided his fate and today il
is expected the Judge will pass
/ sentence.

self, apparently went stolidly about
Its business today. but under the
surface calm there was seething
curreEe CT gossip aid speculation
about the latest turn to the naive
romance Of the preacher and the
choir girl.
Public accommodation yester-
day OF tie parents of the girl, Miss
Trina Hannanberg. from the First
Netherlands church of which the
preacher, the Rev. Cornelius Den
eel. was the titular head in this
country, provided food for comment
by the good wives and younger
members Of the congregation.
AS when the preacher and the
girl first returned together last
week from a months joint absence,
presumably in Canada, the parish
toner's were divided in sentiment
regarding the culpability Of the
principals. One faction continued
to regard the whole affair as an
act of God ,swith which neither Dem
Eel nor Miss Hannanberg was re-
sponsible. The ones holding this
belief argued that the dominic
should be returned to his pulpit.
There were others who felt that
the girl and her family were re-
sponsible for the romance and who
accepted Denzels explanation that
he returned to his wife and eight
children as soon as God had pointed
out to him his error on the streets
of Buffalo. These held that the ex-
pulsion of Mr.. and Mrs. Marinus
Hannanberg from the church was

HARDINC> GETS
I. ROOTS ADVICE
CONFERENCE
President-Elect May Use
Part of Present League
in New Plan.

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 13.-Advice
on the plan for an Association of
Nations was sought by President
elect Harding today from Elihu
Root, former secretary of state, and
more recently a conferee with lead
ing European statesmen in the for
nation of a world court under the
Versailles league covenant.
The conference, regarded as one
Of the most important to be held by
Mr.. Harding in his meeting of
minds" here, is understood to have
concerned as to how tar the ma
chinery OF the present league may
be used in building a world peace
concert acceptable to the United
States.
Throughout the league fight Mr..
Root advocated acceptance of the
Versailles covenant" vita reserva-
tiors, and during his world court
conference abroad he expressed
much faith in some portions of the
covenant. Details OF his talk with
Mr.. Harding today were not re-
vealed, however, both he and the
president-elect saying his recon-
mendatiOns were entirely coniden-
tial.
In asking Mr.. Roots advice, Mr..
Harding is understood to have
sought in particular for informa-
! ton about practical working Of the
league as observed by the former
secretary of state during lis visits
! to Europe. Questions on the same
subject were put by Mr.. Harding
yesterday to Herbert Hoover, who
recommended that the league ma
! chinery, with changes, be used to
rearing the proposed Association of
Nations.
Cabinet Gossip.
The visit of Mr.. Roo. again
brought his name into prominence
! in gossip about the cabinet seiec-
tions of the incoming administra-
ton. 1t has been suggested in va
rious quarters that Mr.. Harding
might ask him to again become
head Of the state department, but
their meeting today furnished no
outward evidence to support or
discredit that report.
| DR.. John Wesley Hill Of New
York. also had an appointment with
Mr.. Harding today to discuss the
league and various other subjects.

New Holland Rich
Buy Old Paintings

LONDON, Jan. 2s.-Dutchmen who
piled up guilders during the war are
buying up all the old Dutch master
pieces they can lay hands on in Eng
land. Some Holland firms are said to
be buying on behalf of German clients,
who are putting their money into art
objects in order to escape taxation. The
pictures especially sought are those val
ued at from $1,000 to $1,000 each.
The Dutchmen are buying usually not
later than the seventeenth century mas
terpieees of such artists as Tenier, jacob
Ruysdael, II. and John Both, Peter De-
Hooge, Albert Cuyp, Wander Velde and
Van Heyden.
There is an unprecedented buying By
Americans of the better known master
pieces at exceptionally high prices. Eng
lish are dealers say that when the "sup.
ply Of the better paintings are gone
there will be a great boost in the value
of the pictures by less well known art
lists of bygone days.

fast "One-ReeEer."

CLEVELAND, Jan. 28,-To William
Lewis it had all the marks of q Mack
Sennett movie scene, minus the bathing
beauties. He was awakened from a
sound sleep by the crash which tore open
his door. Three men catapulted in, one
diyed undeg the bed, another got behind
a trunk and the third hid behind a
door.
A clatter of hurrying footsteps and
four policemen, iourishing revolvers and
electric torches, rushed entO the room
and peered into the clothes closet and
under the carpet. Another ~clattert and
three hremen, armed with FIRE axes and
monkey wrenches were in the room.
Lewis sat with hands to his head, wild
eyed, as the policemen and hremen
dragged the three from their hiding
places and bundled them of.
"It's all right said one officer on
the way out. "These guys were pulling
a holdup near the FIRE house when we
came along and they ran In here to
hide"
