THE MAFIA TERROR
CAREER OF CRIME ENDED London, January 24. The “Dailv Mail’s” Rome correspondent savs that since the sentences on members of the Mafia were announced evidence has poured in against other Maflaites, arrests are taking place daily, and two thousand are awaiting trial, thus causing the disappearance of one of the most impudent, picturesque, and deadly of gangs of cut-throats in the world, responsible for four centuries of terrorism. Its crimes started in 1923, and included 700 murders, 1200 robberies with violence, 200 cases of incendiarism, 300 of blackmail, and. 700 of cattle-maiming, chiefly committed against landowners refusing to pay contributions. —Sydney “Sun” Cable.
