When everything was in readiness to set
the law in motion Alfano suddenly dsap-
pesred from Naples. 1t is supposed that
ne got q tip from the police, for by meth
DDS not entirely unknown in America. he en-
joyed police protection. 1t was IN the dis
guise Of coal HEAVIER that he took ship
for America. Up to the time of his flight
there had been no suspicion In tie public
mind that he was 4 criminal. He was well
known in society, had the entree to all the
best houses. and was in fact. in the first
fight Of the Neapoitan dandies. He drove
ma snificent horses, wore English-made
clothes and cut dash wherever ne went.
How he obtained the means for such dis
play nobody knew and nobody cared much.
for like Cuocolo, he spent money lavishly.
He seemed TO have no other aim in life
han to get all the enjoyment possible out
of it, Possessed of leisure and ample
means, ne was about the last man in
Naples that would have been picked out as
a leader of the Camorra except, perhaps,
Signor Cuocolo.

The tribunal which pronounced sentence
of death against Cuocoo condemned his
wife to the same fate simply because she
was his wife and knew of his association
with the Camorra. If she were allowed to
live, it was argued by the merciless judges,
she would put the police on the track of
the society.
After the successful accomplishment of
the double murder the fifteen met next
day in the little tavern at Tore del Grace

against him was regarded as conclusive.
The last day of Cuocolo's life dawned
gray and heavy. 1t was in summer. and
the heat was overpowerng. Did he have

but 1t would seem so, as he hung about his

an unaccountable fear Of going out of
doors, but at last was almost driven by his
wife in the evening to q meeting of the
Camorra to which he had been called, and
at which. he supposed his presence to be
absolutely necessary. He started twice
and twice returned, to have the door at
last shut in his face and be told to go about
his business. He never returned.

the detective work of the carab ineers, both
men were hand In glove with It, Alamo
was at the top, but Cuocolo was not far
! below him. He was an ambitious man, and
aspired to leadership himself. The rivalry
between them naturally begat i'll feeling on
both sides. They watched each other like
two jealous tomcats intent on feline con-
quests in the same back yard.
Cuocolo's singing, of course, a mere
blind. His voice gained him admission to
the big houses, and there he utilized his
opportunities to spot the booty best worth
stealing. This information he conveyed to
confederates in the Canorra. BY obtaining
impressions of locks and keys. tampering
with burglar alarms and in various other
ways he did all in his power to make the
task OF the actual thieves easy one. He
claimed his reward lions share of the
swag thus obtained He complained that
in the division of the profits he did not al
ways get his fair share but his claim for
extra compensation was rejected.
It is said that IN revenge he betrayed
some of his associates to the police. and
that, in consequence. they were arrested.
This is denied by Cuocolo's friends, who
assert that Alfano manufactured evidence
by which that charge could be brought
home to him. The code of the Camorra
sanctions private vengeance for wrongs,
but appeal to the miuions of the law is for
hidden in the settlement OF quarrels be-
tween members. \ Camorra man may

The career of de Marinis is almost as in
teresting that OF his chief, and throws
an illuminating light on the underground
life of Naples. AS barefoot boy he
started in Naples and obtained precari-
Gus livelihood by petty pilfering. When
still in his teens he was admitted to the
Camorra as probationer. His resource
fulness and daring soon won him full menu
bership. and thereafter his rise was rapid.
He got into the inner circle. posed as a
sportsman and drove fast horses Besides
his share OF the loot derived from robb aries
large and small. he derived a considerable
income from low gambling dens which he
ran under police protection.
1t was Gaetano Dcnadio. comparatively
humble but ambitious member OF the crimi-
nal brotherhood. who arranged the details
of the double murder, though it is alleged
that lie got his orders direct from Alfano.
AS q successful ASSASSIN lie possessed a
claim upon the Camorra which entitled him
to speedy promotion, hut through the inves-
legations of the carabineers he was
'nabbed'' before he had received the re-
ward which. according to the ethics of the
Camorra, he had so richly merited.
