Little has developed in the Black

I One of the things brought out yes
i lert'ay was that some of the gang
J who are now In custody were living
!at New England mines at the time Z.

froni the officials.
! Mrs. Pauletta Is reported lo have j
J told several reliable -witnesses that the j
man in the Cunningham morgue whom ,
she saw was none other than Jim Ra
chello. alias Julius Ross, who had
spread terror among the Italians by j
Ills rapacious appetite for blood. His i
rapacity for human life can be imag-1
Ined when It Is said that he has lieen j
responsible for at least fifty murders. ?

that had existed between her and
Rachcllo and how he had christened
her baby. Other matters incident to
