Thoroughly frightened. Bianco told police. Two weeks later, another threatening letter came. It ordered Bianco to place the $4 000, wrapped in a newspaper, on a designated grave in Oak Hill cemetery.

These six industries will employ almost 10.000 persons, but that figure will be materially augmented by the need for labor in extensions of present industries now being finished.”
