(Continuation of Chapter XXIII.)
A watchman on duty nearby saw the
boy, Gin- . running past a moment be
fore the shooting began, then as he hur
ried toward the disturbance he met
Normando, Dora and Rafiro coming to
ward him. The first of these carried a
shotgun, wHich he dropped into the gut
ter as he slipped and fell. The weapon
and the suit of clothes Normando had
worn were produced and identified. It
transpired that this witness knew Paul
Rafiro well and for that reason had
refused to tell what he knew until NTor-
vin Blake had come to him and forced
the words from his lips.
So it ran; the chain of evidence grew
heavier with every hour. It seemed that
seme superhuman agency nngt have set
the stage for th$ tragedy, posting wit
nesses at advantageous points. People
marvelled how so many eyes had gazed
through the empty, rainy night; it was
as if a mysterious hand had reached out
of nowhere and brought together the
onlookers one by one, willing and un
willing. friend and enemy alike.
A more conclusive case than the state
advanced against the six hired murder
ers during the "first few days would
be hard to conceive, and the public be
gan to look for equally conclusive proof
against the master ruffian and his lieu
tenants; but through it all Maruffl
sat unperturbed, guiding the counsel
with a word or a suggestion, in his
bearing a calm self-assurance.
Then came a surprise which roused
the whole city. From out of the parish
prison appeared another Italian, a coun
terfeiter, who had recently been ar
rested and who proved to be a Pinker-
toi. detective “planted” among the Ma
fiosi for a purpose. Larubio had been
a counterfeiter in Sicily—it was in the
government prison that he had. learned
his cobbler’s trade—and out of the ful
ness of his' heart he had talked—so the
detective swore—concerning these fool
ish Americans who sought to stay the
hand of La Mafia. Nor had he been
the only one to commit himself. Di
Marco Gracia, and the other two lieu
tenants turned livid as the stool-pig
eon confronted them with their own
words.
On the heels of this came the crown
ing dramatic moment of the trial.
Normando broke down and tried to
confess in open court. He was a dull,
ignorant man, with a bestial face and
a coward's eye. This unexpected treach
ery, his own complete identification, had
put an intolerable strain upon him.
Without warning he ro3e to his feet
in the crowded court room and cried
loudly in his own tongue:*
“Madonna mia! I do not want to die.
1 confess! I confess!”
Norvin Blake, who had been watch
ing the proceedings from the audience,
leaped from his seat as if electrified;
other spectators followed, for even
among those who could not understand
the fellow’s words it was seen that h®
was breaking. Normando',s ghastly pal-

lor? his wet and twitching lips, his shak
ing hands al! told the story. Confusion
followed. Amid the hubbub of startled
voices, the stir of feet, the interruption
of counsel the wretch ran on, repeating
his fear of death and his desire to con
fess, meanwhile beating his breast in
hysterical frenzy.
Of all the Americans present perhaps
Norvin alone understood exactly ^hat
the Sicilian was saying and why con
sternation had fallen upon the other
prisoners. Larubio went white, a blind
and savage fury leaped into Maruffi’s
face, the other nine wilted or stiffed
according to the effect fear had upon
them.
A deathlike hush succeeded the first
outbreak, and through Normando’s gab
ble came the judge’s voice calling for
an interpreter. There was no need for
the crier to demand silence—every ear
was strained for the disclosures that
seemed imminent.
Blake was forcing himself forward to
offer his services when the wretch’s
wavering eyes caught something in the
audience and rested there. The death
sign of the Brotherhood was Hashed at
him; he halted. His tongue ran thickly
for a moment, then he sank into his
chair, and burying his head in his hands
began to rock from side to side, sobbing
and muttering. Nor would he say more,
even when a^recess was declared and he
was taken into the judge’s chambers.
Thereafter he maintained a sullen, hope
less silence which nothing could break,
glaring at his captors with the defiance
of a beast at bay. But the episode had
had its effect; it seemed that no one
could now doubt the guilt of the pris
oners.
The assurance of conviction grew as
it was proven that Marufli himself had
rented Larubio’s shop and laid the trap
for Donnelly’s.destruction. Step by step
the plot was bared in all its hideous de
tail. The blood money was traced from
the six hirelings up through the four
superiors to Caesar > himself. Then fol
lowed the effort to show a motive for
the crime—not «a difficult task, since
every one knew of Donnelly’s work
against the Mafia. Maruffi’s domination
of the^ society was harder to bring out;
but when the state finally rested its
case, even Blake, who had been dubious
from the start, confessed that American
law and American courts had demon
strated their sufficiency.
During all this time his relations
with yittoria remained unchanged. She
and Oliveta eagerly welcomed his re
ports of the trial, but she never permit
ted him to see her alone and he felt
that she was deliberately withdrawing
from him. He met her only for brief
interviews. Of Myra Nell, meanwhile,
he saw nothing, since, with characteris
tic abruptness, she had decided to visit
some forgotten cousins in Mobile.
Of all those who followed the famous
Mafia trial, detail by detail, perhaps no
one did so with greater fixity of inter
est than Bernie Dreux. He revelled
In it, he talked of nothing else, his
waking hours were spent in the court
room, his dreams were peopled with
Sicilian figures. He hung upon Norvin,
his fiero, with a tenacity that was try
ing; he discussed the evidence bit by
bit; he ran to him with every rumor,
every fresh development. As the pros
ecution made its case his triumph be
came fierce and fearful to behold* then
when the defense began its crafty ef
forts he grew furiously indignant; a
mighty rage shook him; he swelled and
choked with resentment.
"What do you think?” he inquired
one day. “They're proving alibis, one
by one! It’s infamous.”
“It will take considerable Sicilian
testimony to offset the Effect of our
witnesses!” Blake told him.
But Dreux looked upon the efforts of
the opposing lawyers as a personal af
front, and so declared himself.
“Why, they are trying to make you
out a liar! That’s what it amounts to.
The law never intended that a gentle
man’s word should be disputed. If i
were the judge I’d close the case right
now and instruct the sheriff to hank all
the prisoners, including their attorney.”
“They’ll never be acquitted.”
Bernie shook bis head morosely.
“There’s a minor of jury-fixing. 1
hear one of the talesmen was ap*
proached with a bribe before the trial.”
"I can scarcely believe that.”
“I’ll bet it’s true, just the same. If
I’d known what they were up to I’d
have got on the jtfry myself. I’d have
taken their money, then I’d have fixed
’emF’
“You’d have voted for eleven hemp
neckties, eh?”
“I’d have hung each man twice.”
Although Blake at first refused to
credit the rumors of corruption, the
following days served to verify them,
for more than one talesman confessed
to receiving offers. This caused a sen
sation, which grew as the papers took
up the matter und commented editori
ally. A leading witness for the state
finally told of an effort to intimidate
him, and men began to ask if this was
destined to prove as rotten as other
Mafia cases in the past. A feeling of
unrest, dtf impatience began to manliest
titself, vague threats were voiced, but
the idea of a bribed or terroried jury
was so preposterous that few gave cre-
denc i to it. Nevertheless the closing
days of the trial were weighted heavily
with suspense. Not only the city, but
the country at large hung upon the
outcome. So strongly had racial antip
athy figured that Italy took note of the
case, and it assumed ah international
importance. Biased accounts were ca
bled abroad, which led to an Uneasy
stir in ministerial and consular quar
ters.
During the exhaustive arguments at the
close of the trial Norvin and Bernie sat
together. When the opening attorneys

for the prosecution had finished Dreux
exclaimed triumphantly:
"We’ve got ’em! They can’t escape
a^ter that."
But when the defense in turn had
closed, the little man revealed an indig
nant face to his companion, saying:
“Lord! They’re as good as free! We’ll
never convict bn evidence like that.”
Once more he changed, under the spell
of the masterly state’s attorney, and
declared with tierce exultance:
"What did I tell you? They’ll hang
every mother's son of ’em. The jury
won't be out an hour.”
The jury was out more than an hour,
even though press and public declared
the case to be clear. Yet, knowing that
the eyes of the world were upon her,
New Orleans went to sleep that night
serene in the certainty that she had vin
dicated herself, had upheld her laws,
and proved her ability to deal with
that organized lawlessness which had so
long been a bolt upon her fair name.
Soon after court convened on the fol
lowing morning the jury sent word that
they had reached a verdict, and the
court room quickly filled. Rumors of
Caesar Maruffi’s double identity had gone
forth; it was hinted that he was none
other than the dreaded Belisario Cardi,
that genius of a thousand crimes, who
had held all Sicily in fear. This report
supplied the last touch of dramatic in.
terest.
Blake and Bernie were in their places
before the prisoners arrived. Every face
in the room was tense and expectant;
even the calloused attendants felt the
hush and lowered their voices in defer
ence. Every eye was strained toward
the door behind which the jury was
concealed. There came the rumble of
the prison van below, the tramp of feet
upon the hollow stairs, and into the
dingy high-ceilinged hall of justice filed
the accused, manacled and doubly guard
ed. Maruffi led, his black head held
high; Normando brought up the rear
supported by two officers. He was rack
ed with terror, his body hung like a
sack, a moisture of foam and spittle
lay upon his lips. When he reached the
railing of the prisoner’s box he clutched
it and resisted loosely, sobbing in his
throat, but he was thrust forward into
a seat, where he collapsed.
The judge and the attorneys were in
their places when a deputy sheriff swung
open the door to the jury room and the
“twelve good men and true” appeared.
As if through the silence of a tomb they
wept to their stations, while eleven pairs
of black' Sicilian eyes searched their
downcast features for a sign. Larubio,
the cobbler, was paper-white above his
smoky beard; Di Marco's swarthy face
was green, like that of a corpse; his
companions were frozen in various atti
tudes of eager, dreadful waiting. The
only sound through the scuff and tramp
of the jurors’ feet was Normando’s
lunatic murmuring. As for the leader
of the band, he sat as if graven in stone,
but despite his iron control a pallor
had crept beneath his skin.
Blake heard Bernie whisper;
“Look! They know they’re lost.”
“Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon a verdict?” came the voice
of the judge.
The foreman rose. “We have."
He passed a document up to the
bench, and silently the court examined
It.
The seconds were now creeping min
utes. Normando’s ceaseless mumbling
was like that of a man distraught by
torture. A hand was used to silence
him. The spectators were upon their
feet and bent forward in attention, the
cordbn of officers closed in behind the
accused as if to throttle any act of
desperation.
iThe judge passecj the vefdiet down
to the fhinute clerk, who read in a clear,
distinct, monotonous tone:
“Celso Fabbri, Frank Normando, mis
trial. Salvatore di Marco, Frank Gar
cia, Giordano Bolla”—the list of names
seemed interminable—“Gaspardo Cressi,
Lorenzo Cardoni, Caesar Maruffi”—he
paused for an instant while time halted
—“not guilty.”
After the first moment, of stunned
stupefaction a murmur of angry disap
proval ran through the crowd; it was
not loud, but hushed, 'as if men doubted
their senses and were seeking corrobora
tion pf their ears. From the street be
low, as the judgment was flashed to the
waiting hundreds, came an echo, faint,
unformed, like the first vague stir that
runs ahead pf a tempest.

“GEORGIA IS WEALTHIER
THAN IN JANUARY, 1912''
Bradstreet’s Division Superin
tendent, J, E, C, Pedder,
Predicts Big Year
That Georgia is in a better economic
condition today than she was a year
ago, is the statement of J. E. C. Ped
der, division superintendent in Atlanta
of the Bradstreet company.
Mr. Pedder says that he lias no l’ear
but that 1913 will be the best year that
Georgia has ever known.
His review from a looai viewpoint of
the past year’s business and his fore
cast for 1913, are particularly interest
ing. He has prepared for The Journal
the following statement of them:
“The year 1912 was unprecedented in
the city of Atlanta, which is shown
hiost graphically by the increase ol’
nearly 520,000,000 in taxes, building
permits nearly 510,000,000, and clear
ing? of over $33,000,000 for the year.
“Atlanta at the present time is suf
fering from growing pains. Everything
she has is Hoo small for her. She has
got to have a new suit of clothes, ana
I think that the tailors are now busy on
the new outfit, which, when ready, will
loubtless put Atlanta in good society.
The cotton crop, as we know, in
Georgia last year was a little short, but
we got a good price, and while there
are doubtless a number of business con-
cerns who are taking advantage of the
shortage to avoid paying their legiti
mate debts, I believe the state of Geor
gia is in better condition on January 1,
1913, than it was in January, 1912.
“As is well known, stocks of g^oods in
all lines are depleted, and we are al
ready Informed that good orders are be
ing received, and there does not seem
to be any cloud on our Business hori
zon to indicate any stormy weather of
a financial nature.
“Naturally this year, we must be
conservative in our business dealings,
but the state as a whole, has made good
stride? this past year, and I have no
fear but that 1913 will be the best year
that she has ever known. Nearly every
industry is preparing to increase its
business and when the balance for 1912
is made, I do ’not think that the com
munity will be dissatisfied with the net
results. •
believe that 1913 will be the best
year the state has ever had. New cap
ital is coming in rap'dly and eastern
financiers do not arpear reluctant to
put all the money that is needed into
good enterprises of the south, as it
evidenced by the remarkable develop
ment of our water powers, railway ex
tensions, textile industries, etc., and u
is needless to say that 1913 will only be
a repetition of the success that Atlanta
and Georgia has had, and that the state
will again make a record this year
which will be very hard for her sister
states to follow.”

into this

much sick-

Is for you to accept or refuse ns you like.
It Is for you to choose —whether your
trouble, with all its pain, danger, fear and
uncertainty, shall continue—or whether it
shall be taken away. But in the choosing,
remember this—health was God’s most pre

duty to regain and keep it as to guard and
protect your life.
“What is my offer?” you ask. Listen.
In my thirty years’ experience in medicine
I have learned many strange things. For
one thing I’ve learned that Heart Disease
kills more people every day than anything
else on earth. I've also learned that Heart
Disease hardly ever exists alone—by itself,
that other organs—Stomach, Bowels, Kid
neys, Liver, Lungs, etc., are almost alwavs
affected, too. Why? Think for a minute
and you’ll answer the question yourself—
it’s because the Heart is the VITAL organ
of the body—because it governs all the
other organs, supplies EVERY . organ—every

LIFE and power to (lo their work.
Stop the Heart's boat and death strikes
instantly. You know that. And let the
Heart get weak or wrong in any way and
tlie whole system—the whole body from Brain
to tiniest biood vessel suffers, too.
Hut you say “I haven’t any Heart trou
ble. MY Heart js all right.” Ah! But
lots of people think and say the self-sache
thing. Why, only a short time ago I had a
pitiful tear-stained letter from a little 11-
year-old girl down in Georgia telling me how
her mother fell dead before her with the little
baby in her arms. Now the woman thought
HER Heart was all right. She would not
believe me—even refused to take the treat
ment or heed the warning and the good ad
vice that I had sent her free.
Six persons ip every ten have Heart Trou
ble, though many of them do not know
it. 30,000 victims die of it in America every
year. And so I say unless you are sure,
unless you KNOW, for Heaven’s sake don’t
take any more chances—just stop a bit right
here and find out for a certainty where you
stand-
HEART DISEASE SYMPTOMS.
are very plain when once they are known
and understood. The great trouble is that
most people don’t know what the symp
toms are—don’t know what they mean when
they have them. Another thing—a great
many people are misled and deceived into
thinking their trouble is something else.
Thousands—perhaps you among them—are to
day doctoring the Stomach, Kidneys, Liver,
Nerves or Sexual Organs for some ST T P-
POSED trouble, when all the time It’s the
Heart causing It all. In other words, you
may be treating the symptoms and not the
disease Itself.
Following are the most common signs—
the really sure symptoms of Heart Disease.
Go over these CAREFULLY, one by o*je, and
see if any are your symptoms. Tliat will
tell the story:
Do you tire easily?
Do you have headaches ?
Does your Heart flutter?
Does it ever skip beats I
Do you start i'* your sleep 1
Are you short of breath?
Does your Heart palpitate?
‘ 1 t
Do you feel “weak” and run down? .
Do you have numb or dizzy spells?
Do you have weak, sinking spells?
Are you nervous and irritable?
Do your feet, legs or anMes swell?
Does your Stomach have an “all gone”
feeing ?
Do you have pain in Heart, side or under
shoulder blade ?
Of course, no case has all—some of the
very worst only a few. Therefore, If you
find that even one or two of them are
i YOUR symptoms, you should act at once,
for you may be in grave danger. You know
Heart Disease don’t wait. It comes like a
thief, develops quickly, and strikes without
warning.
AND HERE IS MY OFFER.
If you have one of these symptoms; if
you have reason to think that you have even
the slightest Heart trouble or weakness, write
me now. I am confident I can help you.
Or, again, if you have known for some
time that you have Heart trouble—even
though your case is chronic, deep seated and
has resisted other treatment; even though you
may have been told that you cannot be
cured—I urge you all the more strongly to
write me at once—it is in »ixs» such stubborn
and seemingly hopeless cases that our scien
tific, effective treatment has accomplished
most remarkable results.
The very day I hear from you I will ar
range to send you by mall postpaid and se
curely sealed—
A COMPLETE FREE TREATMENT.
for your case; a letter of advice explaining
your rase fully. Also a Medical Book that
in plain words and with ejear pictures tells
all about your trouble, explains about your
Heart—what it does, how it works, and the
relation to all the rest of your body. The
book is valuable: do not lose sight of this
part of my offer—many people^—among them
several physicians, say it’s the best book of
its kind ever written.
Bemembfr it is all FREE—The Book—The
Letter of Advice—The Full Course of Treat
ment. There are no “strings” to this offer.
Neither is it a C. D. D. scheme or anything
of the kind. I ask for no money—I send
you no medicine, expecting you to pay luter.
You bind yourself in no way. It is nothing
but u genuine, generoqs, honest, free offer
to the sick. I am making this same offer
In some of the best papers In America be
sides The Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal, be
cause It seems to me to be the best way to
quickly get advice and help—this certain ef
fective treatment into the hands of every
sufferer—everywhere.
To the skeptical—the doubters—the unbe
lievers—to those W’ho think Heart trouble
can’t bo cured—to those who forget that
science is advancing, I say for your own
good—yes, in simple fairness to yourself:
Don't give up—don’t fail to get our advice
and test our methods and treatment. It has
reached—I don’t mean Just temporarily, but
lastingly—a legion of cases muny of which
were believed hopeless.
I am particularly anxious to bear from
those who aren’t quite sure Just what their
trouble Is—from those who are doctoring the
Stomach, Liver, Kidney, Nerve*, etc., but
get little or no better. In nine out of ten such
cases the reel trouble is with the Heart.
Anyway, you will get the truth here—you will
then know what to do.
The free course of treatment that we nend
will strengthen and regulate the Heart.
It will tone tip the Stomach, Kidneys and
Liver. It will give strength and vitality to
the Nerves and Nerve Centers and bhfld up
the whole system. Remember, I have given
years to the study of affections of the heart
and the various troubles which so often exist
with them.
It Is my life work. And all the ex
perience I have gained—together with tb«t of
the medical talent associated with me, is
yours gladly and freely just for the asking.
And so I say again, If you do need this
help you’d better send right now, for, of
course, I candot continue to make thjs offer
Indefinitely.
