A young man named Naraaso, who formsrly livsd at Naplas, joined the society when in his teens, and remained a faithful member until a few months ago, when he married a beautiful Italian girl of 19. Navazzo, who was a steady, hardworking young man and a clever cabinet-maker, wished to rid himself of his old associates, and sent in his resignation to the Camorra. He received a reply to the effect that he knew too much,. and was too useful a member for bis resignation to be accepted. * , He prayed and begged daily for Ms release. Lately he was ordered "on a private mission,” and rather than obey the command he left Naples secretly with his wife. The young wife woke up one morning at the boarding-house where they were staying and found her husband lying dead by her side with a stiletto in his heart.
On the stiletto the word "Oomorra” had been engraved. This fact left no doubt as to who had committed the crime and when the police heard of it they refused to take any action.
