"Morello spoke this with a saturnine air of unconcern as if he had been discussing a smoke or a glass of wine. To this man murder was merely an incident to his trade. "The arch-bandit now turned to Cecala, saying: "'It would be well to ask Milone (Antonio B.), and see if he is able to make the green tint.' Milone is the man who made the plates. "'Who cares to go to Two Hundred and Thirty-Ninth Street, in the Bronx, at this hour?' replied Cecala in disgusted protest. 'It can be done to-morrow.' "'No. It is better that we send Nick (Sylvester) to-night,' said Morello with an air of finality that booked no dispute. "'Do what you think, Piddu.[2] Suppose we arrange to send Don Antonio?' "'Do not let him leave us, though.' "'I know, and if he has to leave, I will accompany him,' concluded Cecala almost in a whisper. "Cecala now invited me out with him, asked me where did I want to sleep, and when I told him at my aunt's, he offered to accompany me there. "As we were about to leave the place Morello turned to Cecala and I overheard him say: "'Nino, I wish you would not have the professor come here any more. You know there are detectives following me and as soon as they see a suspicious face they arrest him. The other night, as you know, they arrested father and son while they were going down the stairs.' "'I know it,' replied Cecala, 'but what are your suspicions about Don Antonio?' "'Well--er--sometimes you can't tell.' "The 'Black-Hand' chief dropped into a brief reverie. Maybe he had a vague vision of the fate that was to befall him. The other man present, Michele, the Calabrian, had not uttered a single word during the entire conversation. "After we had left the house Cecala turned to me and said with bated breath: "'The man you saw with one hand is Giuseppe Morello, the same who was implicated in the barrel murder.' "I did not reply because I did not know of Morello; neither did I know of the barrel murder. I only thought that he really had one arm because I did not see the other. From time to time Morello had been snuffing tobacco.
