THE POLICE DEFIED
ITALIAN SECRET SOCIETY. RESPONSIBILITY FOR MURDER. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) . SYDNEY, December 21. (Received Dec. 21, at 7.45 p.m.) Revelations in connection with the inquest on Domenico Belle, who was mur.dered at Newtown last February, show that the crime, for which no individual has yet been brought to book, arose out of the activities of the “ Camorra,” an Italian secret society branch in Sydney. Documents implicating certain Italians have come to light, but, as those affected have not broken any Australian law, the authorities are powerless- to deal with them.. The Federal Government will probably take steps to enable the deportation of persons associated with the Camorrist activities. At present;the police are seeking Belle’s murderer in the face of a sinister, truculent silence among the dead man’s companions, whose > attitude is practically one of defiance, warning the police to “ keep out of this or there will be trouble.”
