-- GUESTS MURDERED AT A

WEDDING.

Nestling high among the Cala brian Appeaines is a little village -called Stigrano,

An aged dweller in the place. known as Tata Simiri had given his daughter is marriage to a well-to-do Sicilian farmer named Policemi.. Late, a young son of theirs went to Live with the old man, for his father had been slain in battle on the Carso.

Maria Ross, the mother, entered into an arrangement with a neigh bouring landowner, Pasquale Minici, to act as her steward.

A CUNNING PLOT

- Maria Rosa, stiff a young and handsome woman, ended by yielding to her steward's solicitations..

In the course of a twelvemonth her entire bank deposit, amounting to several thousand pounds, her lande and cottages, her own fimly dwel fing, together with all irs furniture were cunningly wrested from her.

To allay suspicion Minici pretend- ed to take compassion on her. and the widow, with her son, was accom- modated with a room in the des- poiler's villa.

MURDERED WEDDING PARTY..

A large gathering of guests were busily engaged in music and dane- ing, when Minici asked Maria Rosa to go out to fetch a further supply of choice grapes.

As she passed into the garden the old man fized his gun and wounded her. Her cries led the youngest daughter of Minici to rash upon the

scane.

Her appearance was swiftly fol- lowed by the same fate. Tata Sirmiri next crouched behind a low wall ia in wait for Minich, but the shot only disabled him.

The wedding took place. After the torch ceremony waS_OTEL, Mine, In accordance with Calabrian custola, pet out from his own

of his friends and dependents.

With outstretched arms, he was of the widow's houses which be had ascending the flight of steps of one assigned to the bride, and was about to embrace bër, when a bullet in the back sent him rolling to the bottom.

As the girl bride was bending over her parent's corpse, one of her cousin venerable figure leering in the back- bridesmaids pointed out to her a ground. It was Tata Siniri again.

Quickly a second shot rang out, and then a third. Both bride and cousin, dropped dead, and spectators of the tragedy allowed the assassin again to escape to his mountain home.Daily Chrmiicle.
