DRUGGED AND TAKEN.
Four years ago Salomone shot in
the back his political opponent, the
5)11die of Hnrrafranco. Since then lie
has lived by robbery, and has never
hesitated to kill any►xidy who atteu,pted
I.; betray Min. The theinnstanccs of
has arrest are tragic. A landlord, from
whom, rifle in hand, he had demanded
hospitality, administered to him a new-
oclic, mixed in has food. When Sato -
none was asleep the landlord sunuion-
ce the carubinleri. The brigand, how-
ever, managed to awake at the right
moment an took to les hods. Ile had not
gone very far before he found himself
ourrounded by eight cnrabinieri, who
managed to secure hiin after a brief
struggle.
'1'11cn Salomone,culled the leader of
the carabinieri and offered him 5,000
lire (31,000) for permission to escape.
Naturally, the brine was refused, an.l
the brigand was hauled off to jail. With
him were arrested Iwo priests and two
gentlemen of Borraf•anco, who urged
him to kill the Syndic, and they will
be tried with him.
MUI.ONE IS 11E11O.
The Sicilians, uncultured, but chival-
rous, (nate Salomone. They have never
fergIven him for shooting tho Syndic
iu the back. That was treachery, be-
cause
o-cause in Sicily homicide is regarded as
n sort of duel without witnesses, In
which the adversaries should face each
other loyally and fight Recording to the
tiaditlonal rules of chivalry in the 001111 -
try. But there is no doubt that his
forte ming trial will be followed with
much interest.
Faille Mulone, who took to Ute for-
est niter he had killed his sweetheart
and his rival for her affection, is the
true brignnd of minimise or melodrama,
and he is beloved by the people, who
recognize in him the ardent disposition,
as ready for ferocious revenge as for
magnanimous generosity. which is char-
acteristic of the Sicilian ince.
