Mr. Warren, Stationed at Wilmington, Gets Letter from "Black Hand." Special The News. Wilmington, Sept. 1. Mr. Elishee B Warren, engineer on the steam tug, Marim, stationed at this port, received a threatening letter yesterday which stated that unless he placed $125 in a coal bin at the steamer Wilmington's wharf that his two children he loved would be killed. This letter was evi dently sent for the sole purpose of blackmailing Mr. Warren and those who wrote it covered their tracks so well they have thuS far not been ap prehended. The letter was sent to Mr. Warren through the mail, and it was signed by "Black Hand." and decorated at the top with a skull and cross-bones. Mr. Warren was very much wrought up by this mysterious and villainous communication and his wife suffered quite a nervous shock. The officers of the law and the post office authorities were at once notified and the last men tioned immediately began work on the case to ferret out the would be crimi nals as it is a crime punishable by a long term of imi risonment to use the mails tor such a purpose. Last night an attempt was made to catch the writers of the letter by car rying out the directions embodied therein but the result was fruitless. Policemen and post office inspectors in plain clothes went to the dock where the money was to be left and waited there many hours but the guilty parties evidently had become aware of the fact that the matter had been placed in the hands of the officers and therefore remained away from the spot. A good clue has been secured by the officers today and it is probable that the guilty parties will be apprehended shortly. Mr. and Mrs. Warren are greatly worried over the matter and feel that it would be better to pay over the mon ey rather than undergo their present suspense. SONGS OF SUMMER By John Jordan Douglass.
