shot dead.
Quickly the police reached the spot
Back across the yard whence came
the shot that had killed Giovanni went
the police. straight to house front
ing on the next street. But there thu
trail stopped.
But II the police did not know then
they do now. that the Cardinellis
knew who had fred the shot. even
though they would not tell.
1T Is the work Of the Other" said
the Cardinellis.' "The Other must
die"
Little IL known Just how much the
Cardinellis have retaliated against
their enemies. Yet no great stretch
of imagination Is required to picture
the other side Of the story.
Back no later than March of this
year particularly sinister-loolsing 81
Gillian was found lying badly wounded
in the gutter Of street In the Latin
quarter of st. Louis. In his body were
forty-three distinct knife wounds.
It was days before the police of St.
Louis were even able to force the man
to tell his name and admit that he
had come from New York. Other
than that he would not tell. Why or
how he had been injured. Of that he
would not speak. Who had attacked
himf He knew, but he would not tell.
Il know; and fix him." was all he
would say.
In due course Of time. thanks to
good nursing and a marvellous consti,
tuition. the man recovered and left the
hospital. The next day he disap-
peared from st. Louis.

Was that one incident in the other

even before q word was published In
any newspaper. that the Other had
been stabbed forty-three times in q
street of st. Louis? For the injured
man was the Other.
And then came the third warning to
the Cardinellis.
Bartholdi Cardinelli lived in mod

New York. Right next door lived his
father. his mother and his brother
Two years and more had passed
since the death of Giovanni. 2 In the
interim the Cardinellis had escaped all
harm. The vendetta for them. at
least. had apparently ceased to exist.
And then came the warning:
"You will dIe-at the window"
The message did not seem to inter-
fere with Bartholdi's occupation as a
barber. To and from his work he
went. apparently as care-free as any
man could possibly be.
Bartholdi even dared to sit on the
front steps Of the house in which he
lived in the early hours of the even
ines. But once he set foot across the
threshold of his own home-then all
was changed. There. and there only.
did danger Turk for him.
For two weeks Bartholdi Cardinel-
lis form never showed at window Of
his home. either by day or by night.
And then came-death
The night was particularly hot. The
small rooms of the fiat were stuffy
and oppressive. Suddenly Bartholdi
rose from his chair, walked to the win
dow-fell back dead.
A pane Of glass lay shattered on
the floor and Ave gaping wounds made
by as many crudely shaped slugs Of
lead showed in his body.
Five minutes after the shooting the
entire block was surrounded by po-
lice Not house. not roof, not
cellar escaped their search. but the
slayers were not to be found.
M Murdersrs In safety.
II was not diflcult for the police
to trace the source of the shot. Al
most on q line across the street from
the home of Bartholdi they located
the lair OF the murderers. but the muir
derers were gone.
They had left behind them the gun
with which the crime had been COM
mitted, a crude. old-fashioned shot
gun. q pile of cigarette ashes. an emp
ty bottle or two, and that was all.
