Kerner's court-making a total of five
within the past two weeks.
At about the same time five extor-
tionists were seized as they were &C
cepting a decoy tribute from their In
tended victim.
Joseph Cerra and Carlo Oliveria, who
since their arrest last April, waded
through several legal tangles, were
found guilty and sentenced to prison
for one to five years each. In addition
both were fined $500.
The technical charge against the
pair was possession OF bombs" Both
confessed, however, to selling bombs

sides. was said to have been a member
Of the bomb trust" reputedly headed
BY one of the Aeillo brothers, once q
powerful gangland factor, but now a
dilapidated band of alcohol cookers.
The extortionists were caught at the
home of Joseph de Lenro who had re-
ceived two Black Hand notes in the
last two weeks threatening him and
his family with death unless he paid
$500 tribute,
Yesterday De Lenro took the letters
to the police; when the extortionists
appeared at the De Lenro home last
night and accepted dummy package
they were arrested.

against a. Cuban labor leaders for In
citing disturbances against the govern
ment marked the aftermath OF the
strike.
Judge Eduardo Potts of the Court Of
First Instance, a court similar to Amer
lean criminal courts, yesterday afternoon
ruled that the AZ men, many Of them
Spaniards, are guilty Of sedition and Of
trying to incite disorders. He further
ruled that the nine unions were afflli-
ated with the Third international at
Moscow.
The strike was conducted without
public demonstrations and was free
from disorders.
Jose Medina, chief Of secret police, last
night said he believed the indictments
would never be served against the a
men and that the unions would con-
tinue to function. He viii recommend
to President Machado that the court
order be not carried out.

Almost unheard of four years ago
outside of his own town, Mr.. Eaton in
that brief span has become a national
