BLACKMAILERS KILL MOTHER AND CHILD

Both Shot Down Through a Window n Their Home in McKee's Rocks.

HAD REFUSED $500 DEMAND

Woman's Husband Disappeared Last Year and May Have Been a Gang Victim.

Special to The New York Times.

PITTSBURGH, Nov 13-Hilding her five-year-old duaghter, Mrs. Catherine Cardon, sat in her home in Page Street, McKees Rocks, late last night, when a crash of revolver shots shattered the window near her and she slipped to the floor, dead. The child died in the Ohio Valley Hospital today. Seven bullets entered the mother's body, and two struck the little girl.

The murders were committed in revenge for Mrs. Cardon's failure to comply with blackmailing letters demanding $500.

Neighbors saw two men dash from the shadows of the Cardon residence, leap into a green racing car at the curb, and drive off at top speed. Investigation by county detectives has led to the belief that the assassins are connected with the Good Killers, whose operations, similar to those of the Black Hand, have caused terror in other cities.

The police say they are searching for James Bruno, an Italian, who, according to the few persons who seem to know anything about him, came to this county from Philadelphia. He is said to have once resided in Rochester, N.Y.

Pascal Todd, a boarder, was sitting in the same room with Mrs. Cardon, and James Cardon, a son, was upstairs overcome by terror. Todd had not moved from his chair when James Cadon rushed downstairs to find his mother and little sister lying on the floor.

The detectives say that, while they believe James Bruno may know something about the crime, they are not clear as to the identity of the other man wanted, though they have been told that Bruno had a brother.

Mrs. Cardon's husband disappeared mysteriously about a year ago, and it is believed now that he, too, may have been a victim of blackmailers. A brother of Mrs. Cardon, Nicholas Mann, was unable to give the detectives any light on the double murder.
