MAFIA A MYSTERY IN ITALY
Nobody Knows Anything About the Operations of the Assassins.
(Date: May 17, 1903 ) “There is just as much mystery about this society in Italy,” said my informant, “as in the United States. You might live in Palermo or Messina with all your neighbors members of the Mafia, and yet never hear the word mentioned. It is something that no one cares to talk about. We only know that money is extorted right and left, because it is certain death to refuse, and unless these murderers are caught red-handed, they are rarely convicted.
