“BLACK HAND” DEED
Italian Fruiterer’s Death
The police investigation of the assasination of the Italian Lasplna, in Newtown, Sydney, shows that the rifle with which he was shot was picked up in the Newtown Park shortly afterwards. It appears that the murdered man was asleep in his room with another named Deluca, when they were awakened by a man outside the window demanding money. Deluca left the room to go to the till to procure the cash and then the assassin fired point blank at the victim, the bullet passing right through his body.. The police are convinced that the deed was the act of a member of the “Black Hand.” The deceased leaves a widow in Italy. IBv Radio, nor Mr, I. M. Levy.]
