10, Eduardo LOmbardo, ne
1913 andai per un prestito d
500 dial Sig. Guagliero Nicola {
fui favorito, a condizione di re.
stituirgli delta somma mel corsc
di un ammo. Volendo garentire il
Guagliero, 10 condussi in presen-
"a del Notaio Publico, certo Lui-
q Cutillo. qui residente al No.
102 Dayton ST., Grande Deputa-
70 di detto Ordine, per fargl ia
re una cambiale.
Dopo alcuni mesi, siccome il
Succennato Guagliero m; disse
che la sua partenza 81 era ap-
prossimata, restituii i 500 e gli
richiesi la riconSegna della cam
biale di cui 10 avevo fornito, ma
il Guagliero disse di non averla
in posSeSso ma che me l'avrebbe
certamente restituita. II Guaglie-
TO Sc ne parti per lItalia non
potetti esser piu possesSore della
cambiale in parola. PasSato aleu-
nj mesi che egli era andato in l.
talia 81 ebbe notizia che il Qua
gliero era deceduto.
II padre di eSSo rinvenne que
sta cambiale e credendo che il
dfunto fglio era creditore del
500 la invio Luigi Cutilio per
lndi agire contro il Sottoscritto
per la restituzione della somma
(100). II Cutillo, al quale tutto e.
IA noto, disse che non mi fossi
preoccupato che lui pensava a
tutto.
Ora questo Grande Deputato
delPOrdine independents Figli di
Italia mi ia chiamare innanzi al |
magistrate dicendo tutto il con- .
trario di clio che lui sapeva e che .
in presenza di- testimoni avevo .
500, senza la re-
stituziOne della cambiale. Ma
che forse il Grande Deputa-
to ha interesse in questa none
IA? Questo e il giuramento che
abbiamO prostate per essere af-
fratellati?
Dove e questa uguaglianza?
Non mi inganno che le parole del
