HUMAN EAR SENT AS GIFT
Sing Sing Authorities Discover Cru,
some Present Before II Is Delivered

Sing Sing Authorities Discover Geue-
some Present Before II Is Delivered.
New York-A gruesome mystery in
which a severed human ear was sent
to convict in Sing Sing as a Christ
mas present" is engaging the atten-
tion of the district attorneys Office
here. The ear was carefully wrapped
in tissue paper and tied with red rib
bon, and left at the prison among the
gifts for Vincent VaIanotti. who a wear
ago began a 15-year sentence for man
slaughter
Following their usual precautionary
custom, Sing Sing attaches examined
the package and discovered the ear.
They made no report of their find TO
Valanotti and said that unless other
prisoners had learned of the thing and
informed him through the under.
ground telegraph system" he knows
nothing of the find.
The theory most generally accented
at Sing Sing is that the ear was
slashed from the head of some person
in some degree responsible for Val
anOtti's arrest.
