Almost a year has elapsed since Ma
ples was thrown into an uproar w Nie
murder of Signor Giovanni Cuocolo
and his wife. Murders are common
enough in Italy. 1t takes something
unusual in that line to cause sehsa-
tion. But there were clrcufliS'ailecs
about these crimes that raised theIh
far above the level OF the orai i,.ti,:
irnifa-thrust affair. Cuocolo was inter-
oIly b,ltchered while passing through
a little frequented street In one OF the
suburbs of Naples. Few hours Iatei
his wife was hacked TO death IN lhe
home where she was awaiting het nus

more than a local reputation as S'nS-
err He had a superb bass Volee' NJ
was in constant demand at private en-
tertainments given by people OF lheA'ls'
Many of those who enjoyed MS SING

hiphly gifted should coniine himseit
TO appearances in private instead Oh
essaying a more ambitious ana lucra-
tive role on the operate stage OF con-
cort hall platforms. But that was nus
business. and nobody bothered much
about It. He was numbered among the
fashionnbles of Naples, and MS popu-
,arlty was increased by the fact that ne
spent money freely and was apparently
always well supplied with II. Nobody
connected that fact with the frequency
with which burglaries took place al the
houses where he had sung. Arrests
were sometimes made but none OF the
stolen property was ever recovered

For a long time the AFFAIR was

forward no evidence definitely connect
