trary to the custom among criminals,
she had revealed the name of her as
sailant. She came out of prison on
July -, and Immediately began her
search for Fabiani. Her industry was
rewarded only a few evenings ago,
when she met Fabiani and her lover
in the Plaza Colonna. Compliments
were exchanged, and in the end Fabi-
ants lover struck Nobili, who there
upon challenged her rival to rustic
duel" The challenge was ACCEPTED,
and the duel was arranged to take
place at o'clock that evening
At the appointed hour the combat
ants and their respective suites"
were on the spot They faced each
other for a moment, holding stilettos
in their hands. A particularly gross
insult from Fabiani stung Nobili to
fury, and bounding forward she
plunged the weapon up to the handle
in Fabiani's body In spite of the ter
rlble wound inflicted, Fabiani contin-
ued to battle, and the two women
slashed at each other. Meanwhile
the seconds were becoming anxious
to take part in the battle. The friends
OF Nobili were armed with knives,
those of Fabiani with cudgels. Soon
the cudgeIs were whirling in the air,
dealing blows on the backs, arms ana
legs, while the men with the knives
sought in vain to get at close quar-
tiers with their opponents. Nobili
clenched with Fabiani and bit her Sc
verely on the right wrist. Then her
cavaliers, finding that they could not
overcome their adversaries, gave up
the contest and rushed off along the
Via Vineto. Fabiani's supporters
gave chase.
While Nobili was washing her face
at a fountain, two agents came up
and arrested her, as well as her sup.
porters who had returned. Fabiani
was taken in q desperate condition to
a hospital, where at first she refused
to say how she had become wounded.
| When she at last told the story the
whole drama came to light. Fabiani's
support ers were arrested also.
