BIANCHI, vise BRIGAND.—IO 1860 Pietro Bianchi
ass 20 years of age, a day labourer at Soveria, noted
from his early boyhood for his agility mid surprising
strength. He was the best hunter in those mountains,
and IVY reputed quick with a blow and dangerous to
offend. When Garibaldi entered Cylabria he took to
the road. At first he stole sheep; but soon be betrayed
ionguinary instincts, and his atrocities on various
occasions made his name a sound of terror. By long
and rapid marches be constantly eluded pursuit; the
authorities despaired of taking him, unless hy surprise
or stratagem. A girl of 17, Comma& Cardamom.,
seemipanied him in all his expeditions, and was often
seen on horseback at the head of the band, encouraging
them in the fight. She was worthy of her lover, and
almost nurpmsed him in ferocity. She is said to have ,
repeatedly cooked human flesh and served it up to him
and his companions. The monster in the form of a
young and pretty woman is now 21; priests of her
country are mid to have thrown her into the arms or
the brigand by working on her religious fanaticism.
When lately arrested ari ligions book and a Madonna
were- found upon her person. She believed they
rendered b.c invulnerable. Bianchi loved her passion-
ivsly, and was madly jealous of her. One day one of
his band dared to kiss her. Just then Bianchi cense
up and requited his audacity with a score of dagger
stabs. A lieutenant of Gendarmes, stationed at Soveria,
lately received information as to the position of a den to
which Bienchi from time to time retired with his
mistress for • few days' repose. With come giudarnies
and • detachment of the Line be betook himself to the
village of Cella, near Cottages, in the district of Nicas-
tro. The village was eerronnded by surprise, and
Lieutenant On Angelis went directly to the house of a
certain Colonimo, whom he believed to be Bianchi's
manuremgolo—his "fence" and secret agent. But he was
unable to discover the entrance of the cave where
Bianchi ought to be. After • long seamh a gendarme
noticed some freshly-picked chicken bones in a ditch.
Presently an artificial hedge was decteeted, placed so as
to conceal the entrance of a cavern. The hedge over-
thrown, a stentorian voice was beard. "Pate-largo r
it cried—"StandLook r "Surrender, or you am dead,"
retorted the lieutenant. "Save this woman!" It was
Bianchi, who wanted to save Genereas, probably intend.
Int afterwards to defend himself desperately. lint tde
Angelis left bim ne time. lb sooner had the woman
passed out than ho embed in wkli his men, and mixed
the bandit before he could deiced himself. Seeing mom •
impossible, Bianchi dashed his revolver to the ground
and resigned himself to his fate. The eme was spacious
within ; a lamp was burning before an image of the Ma-
donna. Generosa's prayer-book was there, the place
marked with bills given for rannoin. The brigand wen
provided with uhundantanimunition. a double-barrelled
gun, and • revolver. Ins corner was • bed of blankets
And a good store of wine, cheese. limed, and menage ;
also • little pantry, supplied by the manse/noon of
Colosimo's house. On Bianchi were found • gold
hunting.watch and a considerable own in gold and sliver
coin. On parting from his mistress he threw himself
into her arms and kbeed her. Thenceforward be did not
utter • word, his eyes lost all their expression and
assumed a glassy look. This was the end of Pietro
Bianchi, after be had for seven years stained the district
of Hieestro with blood.
