A BROTHER’S REVENGE
ATTEMPTED MURDER. ROBBED OF HIS INHERITANCE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, March 15. The Geneva correspondent of the Sunday Express says that Luca Box, an Italian, aged 60, arrived at Lugano from Sydney, and walked straight to a shop in the principal street owned by a prosperous brother where, it is alleged, he drew a revolver, and without a word, fired. Boz surrendered to the nearest gendarme and said: “I have waited 28 years and travelled 12,000 miles to kill my brother, I hope I have succeeded.”
Later he made a statement alleging that his brother robbed him of his inheritance, forced him to emigrate and then married his fiancee, hearing which in Australia 28 years ago, Luca began to save money for the journey to have his revenge. His brother was sent to the hospital and is expected to recover.
