Last January Ami con nnd his brother who is a member of his firm, found a dynamite bomb on their porch, with the following letter wrapped around it: "Mr. John and Charlie: We wish .?10.000. $5,000 from each: there fore search for funds to bring this sum to Pittsburg if you value your life. TliisVhich you found is a sam ple, but if you go to thevpolice you are lost. Thorefore consult with the others of the family before you act for tho law cannot watch .you the year around. Therefore, do not con fide in anyone, but think of your wives nnd children. "(Signed) EXTERMINATORS."

Instcnd of disposing of his business nnd fleeing the country as other victims of the black hand gang are known, fo have done, Amicon piomptly communicated with the Ital ian, ambassador, the latter placed the matter in the hands of the United States postal, inspectors who prompt ly went to work on the case.
