riod before a judge D'Andrea be-'
came a convict His wife went back
to the Archer avenue cottage to fix
the little things which must be had.
AU of "Little Italy" knew of the
strange case and hundreds wrote let
.ters to President Roosevelt asking
that Tony, the macaroni maker, be
let loose.
Roosevelt granted a pardon and
Tony went back to the business on
Archer avenue and the home which
sheltered two babies now.
He saved his money and went into
the banking business on N. Clark st
Then a real estate office was started.
D'Andrea grew popular and his
friends "forgot" the trip to Joliet
He was elected president of the
Italian Colonial committee, president
of the International Hodcarriers' un
ion and president of the "Trinacria"
and was held high in the esteem of
his neighbors, all of whom knew of
his record.
And then he ran for alderman. The
Tribune was told of the counterfeit
ing trouble. A story of mystery was
concocted and printed without giving
D'Andrea a chance to tell his tale.
Now Louisa's friends can read all
about the trouble which came to her
father long before she was born. And
perhaps the 'school children friends
of Frances D'Andrea and Dorothy,
sisters of Louisa, will understand.
That was, hi substance, the story
of Anthony D'Andrea as he sat is the
office of his attorney, Rocco De Ste
fano, last night
He protested against the unfair
ness of a paper which told only one
side of the strange tale and which
did not say that he was pardoned by
President Roosevelt and restored to
citizenship, after the president had
been convinced that D'Andrea was a
useful citizen and deserved a pardon.
He explained that the 'conviction
was on a plea of guilty which he had
entered to save his wife, in a delicate
condition, from a prison cell. A par
don came from President Roosevelt
when he heard the story, he declared.
