themselves were rather painfully OBJ
vious. First Mrs. Pasquerella Spinelli,
the "Hetty Green of Little Italy" was
shot down as she entered her estab-
lishment at dusk. Then her successor
in the ownership, Luigi Lazzazaro, was
stabbed to death, and finally Luigi's
follower, Ippolito Greco, was dosed
with two leaden slugs through the
body. The police were never able TO
find out why these incidents occurred,
but as they suspected the place of
being a fence" in the stolen horse
industry, they drew the conclusion
that there was competition for the
graft.
This horse stealing was a we'll or
ganized form Of blackmail Of which
peddlers were the chief victims. Such
a one, leaving his horse and wagon
moment unguarded while he went into
a tenement for sale, would return TO
find the rig stolen, and a day or two
later would get an anonymous letter
saying the team could be recovered
If $50 or 500 in cash was left at
certain place at a certain time. Fear
of greater possible loss forced the
victims to pay, and threats of death
kept them from "squealing" to the
police.
The feed store at the corner of First
avenue, kept at that time by two
brothers, Charles and Thomas lie
Monte, also seemed to be an unhealth-
full property to own. First Charles, in
broad daylight, was shot down on
Second avenue near 108th street while
going to a garage to get his automo-
bile, and a little later Thomas, also in
daylight, was shot down on crowded

with his niece In both instances
the assassin escaped by dashing up
stairs and away across the roofs, the
police being unable to find single

The predictions proved well founded
and the fusillade which killed Glosue
and Luca came only few weeks
later in spite Of all the precautions
they had taken to guard themselves.
These cases are only a few which
must remain unchrohicled here for
lack of space and of interest for
general reader, though some of them
were decidedly picturesque, as, for in
stance, the taking off Of Amadeo
Buonomo at the corner of First ave-
nue. and 18th street, where steep
flight of steps leads down to what used
to be a wine cellar.
For weeks Amadeo had been chuck
ling over his astuteness in wearing
coat of chain mail over the vital parts
of his body. He told a few close
friends and they must have been indis-
Greet, for one night man crept up
behind him at that corner, pressed an
automatic to the nape of his neck, and
sent astute Amadeo pitching head
long down the wine shop steps with
his tongue split and his teeth blown
out. as the medical examiner noted at
the autopsy.
Dynasties seem to pass completely
when they pass in Harlem. At the
prime of his power king" Giosue was
ably. seconded in all his administrative
and executive acts by five lieutenants,
the brothers Charles and Thomas 10
Monte. and the brothers Vincent, Nick
and Giro Morello, who were born Ter
ranovas but changed to Morello when
their widowed mother married a man
of that name.
We have already noted how king"
Giosue and the heir apparent, Luca
Galucci, died, and how they were fol-
lowed by the Lo Monte brothers. Since
then unknown men have shot and
killed first Nick, then Giro and then
Vincent, the last of the Morellos. And
finally, in June, Vincent's brother-in-
law, Vincent Salemi, went the same
way.
Add now the fact that the three dead
Morello- Terranoyas were the step
brothers of Giuseppe Morello, brother
in-law and partner in crime of Ignazio
Lupo the Wolf and the reason be-
comes apparent for connecting that
first killing twenty-five years ago in
Palermo with all or many of those
which have followed here, and for be-
lieving that this relentless Sicilian
vendetta is still actively carried on in
New York city may at any time claim
additional victims.
If that be the case, there is very
little the police or any other outsiders
can do to put an end to the slaughter.
For more than decade the authorities
have been trying to bring to justice
the assassins in these murders, but
have never succeeded. Their best hope
would seem to be that sooner or later,
like the cats of Kilkenny, the enc
mics will have battled to a finish all
by themselves.

How a girl can live on $25 a week
and still have fun has been worked
out by a voluntary committee of fifty
girls from the West Side Y. w. c. A.
They have devised an annual budget
of $1,000. and have announced their
purpose of sticking to it, for the rest
of this year. 1t is taken for granted
that the girl lives at home and gets
her room and board for $40 a week.
Lunches are figured at so cents, to
consist of soup and salad, and recrea-
ton is figured at $3.50 a week on the
basis of % cents for movie and
S1.10 for theater tickets.
An adequate wardrobe for the bust

washable blouses, one business dress,
one all year round coat, and one best

be used for business the second year.

The body of the car is constructed Of

From about the time when Lupo

up to May il, 1915, Giosue, or Don

predecessor in the kingship, Joe
Strapone, had abdicated by violent re-

himself passed out by violence, being
