N"i'CsS, CTteu lhcy, 'lnaI you carry upon
your person letters from Mazzini What
could he confess to men who had searched him
so thoroughly ? He remained silent. They
put him back into prison, and he remained
there three months.
Then came an order from the holy council,
which called the prisoner to Rome, recon-
mending that he be kept chained with ex
treme rigor He departed from Viterba, or
rather from Monta Rosa, the first public
storehouse in the midst of a drenching rain
and furious wind. The carbineers, who es
corted him on horseback, kept on their way
in spite of the storm. Drenchcd to the skin,
he begged in mercy they would let him rest
an instant at an inn. For reply a Gardiner
attached securely to his saddle bow the chains
OF the sufferer. "Since you cannot walk. our
horses will drag you, said the popes soldiers.
And the horses, excited by the spur, did drag
him. The prisoner fell at every jerk, painting,
exhausted, bruised, worn, and covered with
blood. In this manner he reached Rome. He
was thrown into the prison of the Baths of Do
cletian. The day following he underwent
new investigation.
The place where he was shut up was called
the Secret'no degA experiment., which may be
translated thus-the closet of experiments.
They are places where everything has SIMS
ter irony about it, even to the names
He remained there forty five days He was
then transferred to the new prisons of Rome,
and put into a cel!-and alone | translate
tins literally from his autobiography. Twenty
days after, there was third examination by a
Judge of the sacred council, one of those in
quisitors who torture he conscience and wiring
out confessions through fear. He was inter.
rogated thus twice a week, upon mysteries of
which he knew nothing, and always by
priests. After which, questioned anew by
second judge of the council ,he was thrown into
new closet of experiments, and the most
trightful ofall, the chamber OF San. Primaro
Jolgia of hell. This is place of punishment
where the condemned never live more than
ten days Our prisoner passed three months
there, having for a bed only sack of rotten
straw, and not sleeping upon it on account of
the Vermln winch devoured him. He had
thought not to live more than eight days there,
and with this idea, did not take off either his
clothes or even his shoes, not wishing TO be
found naked, If found dead. Not sunbeam,
not even the light of poor lantern fell into
these shades. And TO this 1--WE will tell all)
pestilental odor, for all the pipes of the neces-
sarles passed around the walls of his cell.
Every forty eight hours they brought him
bread and water; but they did not always
think of 1t. Once they even refused him the
forgotten food, when he demanded it, and they
would have left him to die of starvation had
he not threatened to break his skull
AT the end OF three months they took him
to habitabe chamber-that Of Vicario-
where he was better treated-above all, better
fed; then into that of the priests, still better
and, at last, to the lnfirmary, where his worm
out condition kept him on his bed two months.
He was scarcely convalescent, when they said
to him, 1--WE are going to send you back to
your country, but as you cannot embark here,
we send you to Naples" lie departed The
journey was rough one. They had enclosed
his wrists IN manaces, so tight that they cut
into the flesh, and the blood streamed from
the wounds. AT Nalmontane his strength
gave way; he fell, worn ont, IN this little
place, upon hospltable bed. Reduced to a
skeleton he was carried TO Segu. There.
