talk was followed by discussion of
the South. Her talk was followed by
discussion of Training ! Wish | Had
Had. This was made up OF one-mln-
ute talks by the various delegates,
each one stating her needs in business
training and either asking or offering
solution of these problems. DR..
Hatcher outlined the purposes OF the
Educational Alliance for the coming
wear. its wider policies, and brought to
the women of the Virginia Federation,
the inspiring word that not one girl
in Virginia need lack help, either fl
nancial or spiritual, in following out
her hopes and dreams of better edu-
cation and working basis in her pro-
fession.
Perhaps the most beautiful feature
was the absolute selflessness OF the
many Experiences" given at the
Open Forum. While dozens of wo-
men who had been thrust out into the
business world with only the most
meagre preparation, spoke OF their
need of practical training, the whole
spirit of the gathering was one Of
caring for the girls who are Just start
ing out. When DR.. Swiggett spoke OF
better business courses in the schools
and fuller training along practical
lines for the girls of the teen age who
are still at school, storm of applause
drowned his speech and showed con-
cIusively the spirit Of his audience.
The desire of the whole gathering
seemed to be to profit by their own
struggles and hardships and using
these as guidepostS. point the bust
ness women who follow in their steps
to greater efficiency.

States have fewer opportunities for
work and the lowest wage scale of

clubs to bring this to me attention OF

Reference was made, also, to the ne

women's work by giving them equal

"Ah, yes,' he says when he has read 1t.
"It is outrageous. But no harm shall befaH

shall he pay those blackmailers $500. No,
he shall pay to Morello-say-$20 with

magician and that miracles come from
heaven only. But shall strive nightly

And that was a most lucrative business.
1t was not always so Immediately produc-

letters were written. Some men are a bit
stiffnecked and insist upon having a word
to say about plans that affect them. Mo-
relic had way with such. I'm Of the
opinion that fifty murders could be traced
to the Morello-Lupo outfit.
There was nothing else extraordinary

and that was a slender graft at best. He
and his crowd tried to pass one at the Iron
National Bank, Morristown, N. j., and that
tripped them up. They became too ambi-
tious. They should have stuck to forcing
the stuff on the East Side merchants.
Therefore, l shall devote myself more
to the personality of the man Morello and
to his career in Italy to certain extent
lie was infinitely more interesting as per
sonality than his crimes were.
We went to Morello's house, 2O7 East
10th street on the night of November Is,
1900. Morello was in bed with his STEP
brother, Nicola Terrenova. We used some
delicacy in approaching that bed. Both
men were asleep, quite fortunately, and we
had virtually no desire to awaken them
until we were sitting on them.

oughly conscientiously and zealously bad.
When balances are struck and recapitula-
tions made it is seen that Morello never
made much money at being bad. 1t is
likely he wasn't concerned particularly in
amassing great wealth. There are few
men of whom you may truthfully say that
they enjoyed being criminals. Old Gu

Woman Drew Wicked Knife
And Fought Off Two Men

The furore was spectacular. Morello's
wife made herself extremely unpopular
with us by drawing wicked knife. 1t
took two of us to get it away from her.
Bereft Of the knife she subsidized into tears.
She was to be murdered by the police. Her
great, good husband was to be slain. And
what was to become of these magnificent
children of hers?
She swooped the baby into her arms and
1t was more or less noticeable that she
was stufTlng something into the child's

pocket 1t would help him discover the

See? Our friend walked off with the
money and the evidence.
Morello's power lay in his mastery of the
gang that followed him. In himself he was
more or less impotent because he lacked
the daring and the nerveless bloodthirsti-
ness to do his killing himself. He was ut
terly cruel when it came to decreeing
death, but it is a question whether he COM
mitted many murders with his own hands.
