Blackhand Fight Over Pool ; Division Saved Girl's Life Chester. Pa., May 13.—Detectives last night unearthed a wholesale plot for the slaying of each member of the family of State Detective James Meli. A pool representing $1,500 was to be the price for kill ing Mildred Meli, a daughter, aged 17 years. It was the division of the spoils which saved the girl's life after a horrible outrage - had been committed on her in a woods near Marcus Hook Sunday, May 5. These facts were unmasked after the ar rest of eleven Italians here yester day by a cordon of officers under Detective O'Toole. The most damaging evidence against the band of Italians arrest ed, according to one of the detec tives, is the finding of a photograph of Angelina Meli. This photograph was taken from Mildred Meli, it is asserted, at the time of her assault. The man who "squealed" on the clique is said to live in Marcus Hook. When he was placed under a third degree examination, it is as serted, he broke down and named the people implicated in the crime. It was asserted last night that the men who attacked Mildred Meli in Welsh street were not negroes, as first supposed, but two Italians with burnt cork faces.
