forming of q vigilance organization will
be taken after September L." he said.
"In view OF the present crime wave au-
tomobile thieves. gangsters and other
law breakers must be shown that the
great mass of the people is against them
and intends to get rid of them"
In the last few weeks hundreds of au-
tomobiles have been stolen from the
streets of Albany, Schenectady, Utica

ganized gang. The machines from on.
city are whisked TO another and sold at
prices far below their value.
Several weeks ago the Albany police
arrested two men whom they believed
to be the leaders in the organized steal

held for the Grand Jury.
The robberies, however, continued. and
to-day three more men are in custody
here on similar charges. Police hope
these arrests will go long way toward

Morton Marks, one of the men juss
arrested, Is the owner of the Madison
garage, one of the largest in the city.
The others are Anthony Stelina Of Sche-

men are aroused. The latter, II Is said
in Albany, declare that unless the traf-
ficking In stolen cars Is checked they
will refuse to give theft insurance or
cars or else put rates so high that own
ers will consider them prohibitive.
For the last two or three years sew

LINKED WITH GANG
Fiaschetti Learns More Details
of Operations Of BOnventre
Gunmen.

-Four Brooklyn murders were traced
yesterday to the Bonventre gang as a
result of talk Nicholas Salvagi. assist
ant on the staff of District Attorney
Harry E. Lewis, had with Bartolo Fon-
tano. the itinerant barber, who has made
confession regarding the operations
of the Camorra in this country Fon-
tano was brought over from the Ray

double one, occurred the night of No
vember IL, 1917. at Roebling and North
Fifth streets. Williamsburg Antonio
Mazzaro and Antonio di Benedetto were
the victims. One of the murderers, ac-
cording to Detective Sergeant Michael
Fiaschetti. head of the Italian squad
was Giuseppi Buccelato, Detroit gang
leader, who later was slain in the Michi-
gan city. Fiaschetti declined to reveal
the identity of the two other men muir
dered. saying there probably will be
other arrests made.
A possible resumption OF activities OF
the Bonventre or some other branch OF
the Camorra was seen In the Staying

be Diego Gagliaho in an open field In
Clifton, N. J. Samuel Pesulo. 10, of 1877

ness to the shooting. said he saw three
men walking across the field, and that
as they neared the end of 1t one of them
pulled a pistol and shot the man wnc
had been walking in the middle. The
dead mans finger prints were taken to
Police Headquarters In Manhattan
where they were found to correspond
with those of Gagliaho.
| Detective Fiaschetti was not inclined
| however. to believe the shooting had
anything to do with the Camorra, al
though the tactics employed by the muir.
derers were similar to those used by the
4 Bonventre gang.
