BANDIT KING ISSUES DUEL CHALLENGE TO ITALIAN GOVERNMENT
Rec 9 p.m. ROME, Apl. 16. Salvatore Giuliano, the elusive Sicilian bandit king, has challenged 10 members of the Italian Government or their delegates to a death duel. Giuliano, in a letter to a Sicilian newspaper, said: “ If I win I take over the Government of Italy. If I lose, it will be the end of me.” Giuliano said he would fight the Government’s men one at a time. He did not indicate a choice of weapons. The bandit’s letter ended with the usual insults against the police and the Government for their methods of trying to capture him.
