...here, they would be where many of our unscrupulous profiteers and despoilers will be in the near future. I do not defend the murders of those Americans who were foully and in cold blood assassinated by bandits; but, from personal observation where conditions are not far different, I must admit that the greater part of those crimes do not come out of the diseased mind of born murderers. Many of them have what we here consider a just provocation, or should so consider were a citizen of a stronger nation conducting himself toward us as many of our citizens conduct...

Who has supported him and his followers if not the Italian people? Every day contributions have been pouring into Flume not only from...
