DEATH OF THE DOORSTEP

Don’t you sons-of-bitches move or I’ll shoot your damn heads off.229

—Salvatore Presutti

On New Year’s Day 1909, Mrs. John Amicon noticed a parcel on the back porch of her home at 579 East Rich Street, Columbus, Ohio. It was a bomb. Wrapped around a few sticks of dynamite was a sheet of paper that read:

Mr. John and Charlie:

We wish $10,000, $5,000 from each. Therefore search for friends to bring this sum to Pittsburg at once, if you value your life. This which you found is a sample, but if you go to the police you are lost. Therefore consult with the other members of the family before you act, for the law cannot watch you the year around. Therefore do not confide in anyone, but think of your wives and children.
