Letter Writer Still At Large
The writer of anonymous letters to Andy Mandoli and Max Hammerslough demanding $500 near Warm Springs creek remains unknown. Sheriff and police efforts fail. Ricardo Messassi, an Italian laborer, was arrested near the money site and held on suspicion of mental imbalance, a claim Mandoli disputes as unfounded.

He speaks little English after 12 years in America, worked in timber camps and road projects, and was recently ill from excessive water intake. He was seized near the creek while returning to the city on Thursday during a tense letter threat investigation and was jailed.

A masked extortion note dated June 23, 1920 threatens death if $500 is not paid in $20 bills. The letter, signed by 10 men claiming soldiers’ service, instructs the victim to place the money in a cigar box at Warm Springs creek sewer outlet between 2 and 2:15 p m on June 30, 1920, and to avoid police.
