New York.-The Sicilian camorra
quake or tornado when 1t comes to
dealing death in various forms, evil
dence collected by the Italian detec-
tive squad of the New York city po-
lice department indicates.
A list of 200 suspected Sicilian kill
ings In New York city alone recently
has been compiled. In addition to
these there We're 20 similar killings in
Detroit, in Buffalo, in Syracuse 4
in Denver, 20 In Chicago and more in
other cities of the country.
These Camorra killers do the deadly
work assigned them In neat and or.
derby manner. leaving no evidence.
they are inclined to make rather a
social affair of such a murder, as in
almost every instance they have
lured their victims by promises Of
pleasant party. The parties are al
ways provided just prior to the sud-
den and violent demise of the guest
to whom marked attention is paid.
Often Work in Daylight.
No expense is spared to make these
affairs real events, in most instances.
Weddings, dinners, duck hunts and au-
toniObile rides have been used as
means to decoy victims out of their
own neighborhoods and to lonely spots
where the murders have been commit
ted most efficiently. There are excep-
lions, of course. In rush murderer
cannot always be expected to provide
entertainment for his victim.
For instance, eleven quick daylight
murders were committed, on different
dates, at the corner of Grand and
Chrystie streets, as crowded a june
ton almost as exists in New York
city. Detective Sergeant Michael Fias-
chetti, head of the New York city Ital-
ian squad, believes that the confession
