Feudlsts In Italy and South America
Display Sense Of chivairy That
10 Remarkable.

Before one can truly realize the ter
rible d~epravity to which human nature
can occasionally descend one has to
obtain Just an inkling into that horror
Of horrors known by the name sven
detta." The misery, the suffering, the
fear sometimes engendered by these
awful feuds 1t is impossible to paint
In language too de~nunciatory, observes
a writer in London Answers.
A gentleman not long returned from
South America described the other day
the end Of a vendetta he once had the
misfortune to witness In the Boca Qow-
est quarter) Of Buenos Aires. The an
~tagonists had their knives strapped to
their hands so that the weapons could
not possibly drop from their fingers,
however badly injured they became.
Before the police had separated them
one of the luckless cdenbatants had re-
ceived no less than II wounds. On be-
ing examined 1t was discovered that
this individual had a loaded revolver
In his belt.
"Whyever did you not use your fire.
arm7" asked the project Of police.
"No; 1t was a fight with knives" ex-
planned the other, with a gasp, and the
next moment he sank unconscious to
the ground.
In Naples, where warning Of a ven
delta Is almost invariably given In
private, a member of the Camorra is
sometimes called in to settle a dispute.
and in this way occasionally what
might otherwise have been a brutal
feud ends In the chink Of glasses at a
sumptuous banquet. IF a Camorrist
meets his death at the hands Of a foe
It becomes the bounden duty Of some
other member of the Camorra to
avenge 1t, notice being almost invari-
ably given to the relatives Of the de-
ceased that It Is absolutely unneces-
sary for them to take any steps in the
matter whatever.
In Naples, c~uriously enough, the SYM
pathy Of the people is much more with
the murderer In these cases than with
the victim, judging that If he had had
no grievance the former would never
have barred his blade; and It Is quite
surprising how far people are prepared
to 60 in order to protect him from the
police.
It Is an unwritten law among the
