file without doing any work or taking
any risks. He lent money at usury,
purchased and received stolen goods,
levied taxes, took an active part in To-
cal politics and municipal elections
and Increased his income in several
ways. His speciality consisted in plan
ming burglaries.
1t often happened that the Camor-
rists cheated Cuocolo and kept great
part of the booty for themselves, but
Cuocolo had a good remedy in such
cases He merely denounced the
Camorrists to the police and had them
convicted of the burglary he planned.
One day over four years ago Cuoco=
10 and his wife were murdered. His
body was found on the beach Of Tore
del Greco. and on it were forty-seven
characteristic stabs and slashes of the
Camorra, while his wife was found
murdered in her house at Naples.
There seemed to be no doubt that the
double murder was a CamOrra exc
eution.
The civil police made a mild investi-
CATION and made a few arrests
Among those who testified in behalf
of the prisoners was a priest who held
the post Of municipal chaplain at the
cemetery, Don Giro Vitozzi. This
priest is Enrico Alfano's godfather
and Enrico Alfano. nicknamed Erri
cone, was known to be one of the
chiefs of the Camorra. The prisoners
were released and the case was prac-
tically dropped.

Sentenced d to Death.

The chiefs of the Camorra passed on
Cuocolo the usual sentence of death
Four Camorrists were charged with
the execution of the sentence. The
death of Cuocolo's wife had not been
decreed by the Camorra tribunal, but
it was decided on by the murderers
themselves, who feared she would
ayenge her husband.
The carabineers then arrested all the
Camorrists with the exception of Al
fano and two or three others. While
the carabineers were trying to collect
all the evidence possible against the
prisoners Police Sergeant Petrosino ar
discovered him at banquet given in
his honor by the representative of the
Camorra in Elizabeth street. It is
likely that the murder of Petrosino
three years later at Palermo was the
Camorra's vengeance for the arrest of
Enrico AIfano.
About thirty Camorrists were charg
ed with completely in the Cuocolo
crime and active participation in a
criminal association. while the priest
Don Giro Vitozzi is accused of subor-
nation. The Camorrists who viii be
tried at Viterbo number over forty. but
many other Camorrists arrested by the
carabineers for other crimes and now
still in prison will be called to give
evidence. The only Camorrist who
eva(7ed arrest ia Andrea AffanaSio
who is suspected to be in hiding in
South America.
The judicial authorities took year
In going over the case before fixing
the date of the trial. They realized
that 1t was impossible to have the
trial at Naples, where possibly many
jurymen would belong to the Camorra,
and decided to have the case tried at

Still Choose New Members.


Besides, during the last four years,
when all the Camorra chiefs have
been under arrest and the Camorra
was supposed to have been disorgan-
lied, the Naples civil police have on
several occasions surprised secret
meetings of the honorable society
held for the election of new members.
The Naples newspapers even gave the
names of some of the chiefs who had
been elected instead of those arrested
by the carabineers.
The number of pieciuotti, or boys" "
generally beggars and pickpockets. who
aspire to belong to the society and
ask to be initiated has not diminished
and many have been admitted on trial
and after performing the expected
proof Of courage have been promoted
Camorristi, or full members of the 50
ciety.
Burglars continue to pay regular
percentage on their spoils Taxes are
levied on every unlawful resort. while
money lenders who practice usury pay
a small share of their profits to the
honorable society" All the cabs that
enter Naples from the neighboring
towns and villages continue to pay the
usual Camorra toll Of cent. and the
farmers who bring their produce to
market do likewise.
The crime which led to the trial Is
the murder of a man named Cuocolo
and his wife. Cuocolo was member
of the Camera, but he belonged TO
the high class or alta Camorra and
was a sort of retired member of the
society. very influential and powerful
and wealthy He belonged to re-
spectacle family. and it is reported
that he was led astray by a woman
Of bad repute, Maria Cutinelli. whom
he married probably to fulfil a VOW
generally made by Camorristi, who
promise to marry woman of bad re-
pute In order to prevent her from
leading life Of sin.
As in the case of all the members OF
the high Camorra. Cuocolo benefited
largely from the work Of the rank and

Carabineers Take Case.


A Socialist member Of parliament
who did not owe his election to the
Camorra then broadly hinted that the
Naples civil police were in league with
the Camorra and suggested that the in
vestigation Of the murder should be
intrusted by the government to the
carabineers, who went at the case Wig
orously. They made some interesting
discoveries.
They found out that on May 26,
1906, a secret meeting of the Camorra
was held at Bagnoli which was at
tended by all the chiefs of the ten dis
tricts Of Naples and couple of Camor-
risti from each district There seem
ed to be no doubt that the Camorrisfs
assembled to sit as tribunal ard
pass judgment on traitor. The pun
ishment Of traitor is always death.
The carabineers then made another
discovery.
On the day the Cuocolo murder was
committed a party Of Camorrists as
sembled in a small restaurant at Tore
del Greco. where they had supper
late in the evening. The windows of
the restaurant overlooked the beach
where Cuocolo's body was found.
There was nothing eventful about the
supper except that when it was half
through a man rushed in with a wild
look on his face and, going up to. En-
rico Alfano, whispered something in
his ear. Alfano merely shook hands
with him, and the man left. The Ca
morrists who attended the secret meet
ing at Bagnoli and those who had
supper at Tore del Greco were the
same.
The carabineers succeeding in get
ting hold of a Camorrist named Alb
batemaggio. who explained many cir
cumstances Abbatemaggio said that
Cuoeolo had been murdered because a
Camorrist named Luigi Arena, who
was then serving long term of rele
CATION or coerced domicile in the island
of Lampedusa. had denounced him as
a traitor to the tribunal of the Camor-
ra. Arena had worked under Cuocolo
and successfully accomplished many
burglaries, and yet Cuocolo had him
sent to prison and supplied the police
with the necessary evidence for his
conviction. Arena wrote to the chiefs
at Naples and exacted Cuocolo's pun
ishment according to the code of the
honorable society,""
