THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1910.
Federal Prison Now Holds the
Most Notorious Gang of
Criminals of Mod*
ern Times.
ATLANTAN TO BE PROMOTED
The steel doors of the Federal prison
Clanged together Monday afternoon at
6 o'clock, shutting In from the world
nnd from their pernicious activity Lupo
"the Wolf' and Morello. together with
,ix of their gang of what are thought
to i.e the most notorious counterfeiters
and Black Handers that ever Infested
Xew York city.
The eight were brought to Atlanta by
a party of six deputy United States
marshals under the command of Deputy
Chief John Steibllng, after they were
convicted in the Federal court at Xew
York and given the heaviest sentences
ever known for counterfeiting, the ag
gregate sentences of the eight being IDO
years. . ■
The following deputy marshals com
posed Chief Stelbllng's party: Henry
Cunningham, William Halpln. Poter
Kapp. John Plnkley and Harry Beaty.
The prisoners were vigilantly guarded
during the entire trip, besides being
handcuffed and shackled.
An Impressive Escort.
On the way to the ferry from the
Tombs In New York city the prisoners
rode In two patrol wagons, escorted by
fifteen detectives and 25 deputy mar-
"We experienced no difficulty what
ever In bringing the prisoners to At
lanta." said Deputy Henry Cunningham
Tuesday morning. "They were as quiet
as lambs. They are In high hopes. I
understand, of getting a new trial. The
bunch Is about the worst band of crim
inals that have been corralled In New
York In years.”
chief Btelbllng snd hls deputies re
turned to New York Tuesday morning.
The trial of the Lupo-Morello gang
lasted 25 days. When Morello,, who
was said to be the brains of the gang,
heard hls sentence of 25 years he fell In
a faint and had to be taken from the
court room.
It Is strongly believed that among
the eight who are now In the Atlanta
prison is the murderer of Joseph Petro-
slno. chief of the Italian Detective Bu
reau of New York city, who was shot
at Palermo last yesr.
Many Other Crimes.
In addition to the crime of counter
feiting. for which the gang was con
victed, the police of New York gener
ally believe that the band has been re-
eponslble for a long list of bomb-throw-
Ings. kidnaping.* and murders, which
have heretofore never been accounted
for. The gang Is said to have floated
*50.000 In spurious bank notes.
There are still eight others of Lupo’s
associates In tho Tombs waiting for
trial In the United States court.
The following are the eight who were
brought to Atlanta and the sentences
they received:
Ignaxlo Lupo, "the Wolf.” 10 years
and a fine of 11.000: a fugitive from
Italy, where he Is under sentence of
eighteen years for murder: also a sus
pect In the celebrated "barrel" murder
mystery In New York.
Morello—Twenty-flve years and a
fine of 21,000.
Oluseppl Chllllehlo—Seventeen years
and n fine of H00.
Nicola Sylvestra, but sixteen years of
age—Fifteen years and a nne of 21.000.
Salvatore Clna. owner of the farm
at Highlands, where counterfeit money
was made—Fifteen years and a line of
21.000.
Vlncenxo Olgllo—Fifteen year* and a
line of 21,000.
Gluseppl Palermo—Eighteen years
and « fine of 21.000.
Antonio Cecala—Fifteen years and
21.000 line.
PRIVATE DETECTIVES
CALLED BEFORE BOARD
The police commission has summoned
the private detectives of the city to
appear before the commission at the
next regular meeting, the second
Tuesday night In March, at which time
•It Is expected the proposed restrictions
on private detective* will be put Into
effect and th* detectives personally In
terrogated to' ascertain whether they
c«n comply with the restrictions.
Under this new plan of the commis
sion. private detectives will be required
to give bond In the sum of 21,600, all
police powers will be taken from them,
preventing them from making arrests,
and they will also hdb barred from
working on divorce cases—from "shad-
• owing" wives and husbands for the
purpose of getting evidence to be used
In divorce trials.
It Is. bellevsd the private detectives
will readily comply with these restrle-,
tlons and continue In business.
Mrs. Hattie Barnett, Atlanta's only
woman datectlve, has already signified
her perfect willingness to abide by the
new rule*. .' '

In the way of t,lacing a alatue of General
Lee In the Hall of Fame at Washington.
There are many reaanna why I give eipres-
elnn to thla belief. In the first place, the
law of congress gives each state the right
to place In the Ilall of Fame nature of two
person* Chosen by the atste. Nothing Is ssid
as to how the statues shall be maile-how
clad. What plaesed Jllluols should have
beeo accepted. Wisconsin chnso Pere Mar
quette, and In the garb of a Catholic mla-
eloniry prlcat. A few perannt criticised
Wisconsin for the selection. pertJcuInrly the
garb In which the alatue appeared, hut Wl«.
consln had her way, at abe should have
done.
Virginia, without a dissenting voice, chose
Georg* Washington and Robert E. Ice.
Does It not go without uylng that these are
two of the greatest Virginians?
It la Insisted by aome that the atatua of
General tee should not eihlhlt the Confed
erate uniform. Virginia ehoae Ice In hls
uniform and Wnsblngtnn In hls. Both, It It
true, wore the uniforms lighting for their
respective countries. —
unquestionably it was a source of re si
S Blensnre to every Virginian who served US-
er General Ice. snd to every living Cnn-
[federate soldier nnd the South generally,
that Virginia desired that ths statue of
General Ice should ahow hint tn th* uni

less one of the very drat .general* of the
American republic, of the world, who, be

They were leaders In thejtrestret event the
nation has known, an event that absolutely
had to come If America was to become the
great nation that it Is. snd Is to be, the
first of sit of -the nation* In the wide,
world. Compromising had failed to cure the I
cancer; all other efforts hsd failed, snd
many of them had teen made hy the mokti

Only the clash of arms, the thrust of bay

Conduct of that character by Northern sol
diers belittles them In the eyes of most of
tho public.
Isn’t the war over? Isn’t the Confeder

Is It more than s memory? Isn’t the Con
federate flag a dead Oaf? Is It morn than a

to alarm brave men of patriotic Ameri

cltlaen be scared because th* brave old fel
lows who wore s gray uniform nnd fol

for both and now and then enjoy taking
them out, looking at them and recalling the

There are reason* why we ought to be
very gracious and kindly In out thoughts
nnd actions toward ths Smith, snd partic
ularly toward the Southern soldiers. They
lost nil In th* contest; they met hitter de

everything for our nation anil very much

not for the present, but for all time to

If the war had ended only a few year*

righteous war. Old Confederate commander*

close relatives were among those who served
in the Rpanish American war. How fondly

TAXESCOLLECTED
Decision of Supreme Court Re
quires That State Return
$136,945.45 Levied
on Property.
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 22.—Rarely has an
opinion of the supreme court caused so much
confusion among high state officials as the
opinion on Monday when thv Alabama stat
ute* providing the levy of a franchise tax on
railroads was declared unconstitutional by
the United States tribunal. The decision of
the supreme court will prevent the state
from collecting 968,417 annually. This sum
la the amount that the state must lose in
taxes every year. Taxes already collected ag
gregating 9138.945.45 must be refunded to
the various railroada doing business in Ala
bama, and the money mutt be paid out of a
treasury which ii already depleted.
Enactment of the franchise aet March 7.
1907. was directly before the agitation of
prohibition in Alabama, and waa at the time
of “fanatical railroad legislation,” at termed
by aome, whieh sought to control large cor
porations in the state.
Many arw of the opinion that the tax
maaiure anticipated the enactment of the pro
hibition roeasure, being levied for the purpose
of helping take care of the deficit which
should necessarily follow the passage of an
act abolishing the whisky lieenae revenue.
The local option bill waa paiavd in July fol
lowing upon the passage of the franchise tax.
and the prohibition measure waa passed
in the fall of tho aam\* year. Those who
knew the condition of the state treasury
thought it quite fortunate that the franchise
act waa on the statute books, as it would
tend In a measure to make up the deficit
from the lose of whisky revenue.
As soon as the measure was passed the
railroads brought auit to defeat the enforce
ment of the law, alleging from the first its
unconstitutionality. When the matter was
carried to the Alabama auprame court, it Is
recalled that several of the justices doubted
whether it would stand the test when applied
to the United 8tatee constitution, tho the
act waa declared by the state tribunal valid
so far as tha stab* law* and ‘constitution
were concerned. Justice Anderson doubted
Ita constitutionality.
