NOTORIOUS GANG
ROUNDING UP THE MAFIA. FORMIDABLE LIST OF CRIMES. London, January 24. The Daily Mail’s Rome correspondent states that since the sentences were imposed on January 11 evidence has poured in against other members of the Mafia and arrests are made daily. Two thousand are awaiting trial, thus causing the disappearance of one of the most impudent, picturesque, and deadliest gangs of cut-throats throughout the world, which has been responsible for four centuries of terrorism. Its crimes in 1923 included 700 murders, 1,200 robberies with violence, 200 cases of incendiarism, 300 cases of blackmail and 700 of cattle maiming, all of which were chiefly against landowners for refusing to pay contributions.—A. and N.Z.
