Courts and Criminals

CHAPTER XI
30/53

On September 15, last, Costabili was caught with a bomb in his hand, and he is now doing a three-year bit up the river.

Sic transit gloria mundi! The Italian criminal and his American offspring have a sincere contempt for American criminal law.

They are used by experience or tradition to arbitrary police methods and prosecutions unhampered by Anglo-Saxon rules of evidence.

When the Italian crook is actually brought to the bar of justice at home, that he will "go" is generally a foregone conclusion.

There need be no complainant in Italy.
