merchant, who lived in Venice about
1900. To all appearances the Key of
Death was an ordinary key that
could be carried without suspicion on
a chain with other keys.
In fact. Tebaldo generally carried

when the handle was turned and a
small spring pressed a hair-like
needle could be driven with tremen-

Tebaldo succeeded In making away

fashion. and with all those TO whom
he took a dislike.
There was no need OF secrecy in
using the key so ingenious was IL. In
broad daylight and on the crowded
thoroughfares he would seize the arm
