Woman, Suspected of Bilking Tacoma Man
Years Ago, Is Under Arrest in California

Dusty police records unearthed
Friday brought up to date the long
unsolved mystery of an Italians
"bedeviled" money-and gypsy
woman's wiles.
New interest in the case was
aroused when Detective Captain
Cliff Osborne received notice that
Gypsy Lena" Stevens. alias Susie
Mitchell, is held by Los Angeles
police.
Osborne remembered Gypsy
Lena in connection with case
probed by police in 1882. She was
sought, he said. as a possible sus-
pect in the bilking of an elderly
Italian, now dead.
Victim of the buncoing was
Dominick TassottL for many years
an employee of local contractors.
Planned Trip Home
Tassotti had saved his money
carefully, planning a trip to the
old country, the land Of his birth,
before he died.
But he hadn't counted on the
gypsies. Almost on the eve of his
departure for Italy dark woman
came into his life. He was strolling
down Pacific ave, when from a
doorway the woman spoke to him
in his own familiar tongue.
you are sick" she said.
Accepted Invitation
Dominick was sick. He was
surprised, as well. How could this
strange woman tell? He accepted
her invitation to enter the fortune
telling establishment, where she
talked to him at length about his
beloved Italy. She told him he had
been saving his money. Dominick
admitted he had.
THE devil is in your money"
she said. Go and get it."
Dominick complied. He brought
back $1,000 in the hope the curse
might be removed and his health
would return.
Myriad lamentations
The dark woman mumbled
mess OF myriad incantations over
Tassottis savings. The devils were
stubborn, hesitant TO leave. Finally
however, she returned TO Tassotti
$500, which she guaranteed was
"un-deviled,".
But Dominick's health didn't re-
turn. He went back to the woman.

FINGERPR|NTS
Painter Who Tamper-
ed With Train Is
Sentenced

Fingerprints of John W. Wilton
were being rushed TO the federal
bureau Of investigation in Wash
ington. d. C.. while the man started
serving a e0-day jail sentence hers
Saturday. for railroad trespsssing.
Accused of shutting off the air
brake system on a l4-csr psssen-
ger-express train between Seattle
and Portland, the 49-year-old
painter pleaded guilty TO a charge
OF trespassing.
He was arraigned before Police
Court Judge Joseph Mallery Friday
afternoon. The court imposed the
maximum sentence.
Doesn't Remember
Wilton claimed ignorance of the
charge. Il was pretty tight" he
said. II never dreamed OF doing
such a thing, and haven't the
slightest recollection of doing it.
Judge Mallery was not Impress
ed. You seem unwilling to be
perfectly frank about this" said
the court. Such charge Is a
serious thing. You are going to
serve 90 days, which is all the law
allows"
Tells of Arrest
II. A. Boyes, special railway
agent, testified to finding Wilton
on the train that arrived here at
12:45 a. m. Friday. The train crew
discovered shortly after leaving
Seattle that someone had turned
an angle cock on the trains air line,
stopping the pressure to the entire
braking system from the engine to
the rear of the train.
Wilton's fingerprints showed he
has no local police record. Au-
thorities will await word from
Washington as to existence of a
prior record. Detective Captain
Cliff Osborne quizzed Wilton as
to his whereabouts when the crack
"City of San Francisco" was de-
rallied in Nevada in August, killing
"a persons. Wilton denied he had
been on the coast for dozen
years prior to two months ago.

STORM Is EXPECTED

The general view seemed to be
first that dynamic Hore-Belisha
had been thrown out OF office at
the demand OF reactionary ele-
ments in the fighting services and
politics. and secondly that the re-
suit might be a storm which would
force a larger and even more sem
sational shift In cabinet personnel
Anger in the press. rejecting
the views Of important political
interests; bswilderment by the
public and a general feeling Of
uneasiness were evidences Of the
shock with which the country
learned that Hore-Belishs had
been deprived Of his office In ia
vor Of Stanley almost as well
known because he IL the younger
son Of the patrician Earl Of Derby
as because OF his political career.
HE'S ARMY's FRIEND
Stanley has served in important
posts and is known for his high
integrity and intelligence. But the
first view Of his appointment was
that he wss less strong wiiled
than Hore-Belisha. that he was
the army nominee and was likely
to be more smenable 10 the wish
es Of conservative minded army
leaders.
II was pointed out that at pres
ent he Is in bed with grippe and
that It was not known when he
would be able to take over his
duties In the key post In the war

he was promoted, he was not a

RULED EXCESSIVE
Winsted Doctors Bill Re-
duced By Compensation
Commissioner

Compensation Com m S 81 o ne T
James M. Lynch ruled today that
charge of IS per visit to an In
jured man by a Winsted doctor was
excessive and reduced the amount
to So per visit. He ordered that DR..
Francis Gallo Of Winsted, be paid
$3.50 for 81 visits and treatments.
The doctor had presented a bill for
$255.
The bill was submitted in the case
of Felix Manghue, an employe OF
the Tiffany & Pickett Co., OF Win
sted. Mangliue was injured while at
work but has since returned. He
received compensation. DR.. Gallo
submitted his bill for $255, which
the employers insurance company
refused to pay and a hearing was
set down. DR.. Gallo appeared for
himself at the hearing.
Commissioner Lynch holds that
not only was the charge per visit
too high, but claims that the doctor
made too many calls on the patient.
He says in his finding: "The num-
her of treatments and visits was
out of all proportion to the needs
of the claimants necessities"
The finding says later: Il also feel
= that the charge Of IS per visit Is
not such as would be called for were
the claimant being treated for q
private injury. In view Of his social
status" sisias
