Sf.milv that was not quite so credulous as

s,raat where there were many bottles con-
.sininp a red fluid, which Liberttni said was
bshIood of the DEVILS enemies. To prove
.Sot Mrs Vuzzi was not acting as wife
s5orld the agent barred his breast, made a
ioroa cross on it with blood. and when it
Jr;sd he fell upon mis- knees and talked into
an open fireplace.
There was no answer, as his satanic
majesty was evidently off the reservation.
Tibertini said that he would have to TEND a
massage in writing to reach his master, and
asked Carmepa if he should write 1t In INK
ar with a lead pencil. Carmena did not
care and Libertini explained that all mes
ssges in ink cost 80, and these we're always
answered. while many of those written
with a pencil were not.
NO MESSAGES COLLECT"
Carnena put up the $40 at once. The
agent made O few more crosses on his body
and forehead with blood and wrote the let
ter. which was simply meaningless words
and hierogyphics.
This was thrown into the fire. In q little
while Libertini heard the devil talking in
the chimney, and wrote on paper what he
heard him say about Carmena's wife, He
showed the document to Carmena and trans
lated the DEVILS language. The DEVILS pri-
vate seal was on the bottom of the letter,
which read as follows: "Zarelli & Pizzuto,
bankers, 81 Spring street. This made it
authentic according to his trusted agent.
What Carmena heard made him frantic,
and the DEVILS agent agreed to furnish more
proof. This served to introduce Libertlnis
partners into the scheme. They are Giu-
seppe Lbertini and Giuseppe. Giaunasio the
brother and cousin of Libertini. They got
Mrs. Vuzz TO meet them in the street while
Libertini came up with the husband. Car

n few days Libertini called upon her
and introduced himself as the DEVILS prime
minister. Mrs. Vuzzi had heard of him
and trembled with fear. He told her that
be had been sent by the devil to her to lei
her know her husband was safe, and would
4 be restored to her if she would pay the devil
the amount Of money he demanded. She
\ loved her husband and wanted him back
and said that she would pay literally to see
him again. Libertini assured her that tbs
devils charges were very high for reunit

wanted to find him. merely for the purpost
Of sticking him With stiletto. She was

Libertini confirmed tine statement By
