ITALIAN
Mr. Moons ia an Englishman of fortune, and,
M it appears, an amateur photographer. Early
ia 1865 he et out, accompanied by his wife,
upon an Italian tour, golnfc first to 81cily, and
Slaking the giro or "round" of that ialaad,
which wu a few jeara Ago o pleasantly de
scribed bj Robs Jlrowne in bis famous 'Yuset.'
Mr. Moens had, moreover, the special dcsijrn to
photograph the eruption of Etna, which was
then golDg on. H i description of this Is very
interesting; but wo must pan it over in order
to jive, as far as we may, some account of his
ubsequeut experiences when a captive among
the britands on the trmtnland.
Cros'inir ovtrto Naples early in May, he set
out for a trip to the ruins of the lamous temple
I Pactum, which stand ia a solitary grandeur,
in a mountain wilderness, with no traces of the
people by whom the stupendous eel i tires were
reared. The party consisted ol Air. Moens, Mr.
Avn-ley, an Encrliib. clergyman, and their wivei.
Tom maples a railway runs, past the cous'der
able town of t-alcrno, somewhat more thin
twenty miles from Pactum. It was indeed a
little suspicious that the landlord of the "Hotel
Vittoria'"at Saltmo thought it necessary to pout
up, in vanous languages, a notice to "travellers
desirous oi visiunic the temples of Pirstum that
the road is now perfectly sale between Saleno
and ra'Sturn, ownp, to the vigilauce ot ticneral
Avcnati, the military commander of the district,
who has stat'oned patrols along the mud ai
Battipagiia, llarizzo, and Pa turn." Alter a
ILree hours' drive they reached the tnuiplcs a
little before noon, asquui of soldien aecom
panyine them. Mr. Moons set his camera in
order and photographed the ruins. Toward even
ing tbev set out on their return; not a little sur
prised that thir niilitarvprotcctor were nowhere
vial hie. Tie truth wa-s as they a'ter wards
learned, the soldiers had been withdrawn so
thai negotiations could be carried on with a
fane of bandits for the relief ol a couple 01
taiian gentlemen whom they had cobbled up
only a few days belor on this very safe road,
for these the brieauds demanded u ransom ol
171,0(10 francs, but finally compromised lor
1.0110.
They had almost reached Battlparlia, and
supposed that they had passed the duusorom
place, when a lit lc beiore dusk they perceived
a number of lelljtfs creeping outoi the corn
fields. Some ot the brigands aimed their
guns, others turned the horses' heads acros
the road. They started up trom all sirt; ot
hiding-places, and in a few minutes thirty or
more were gather d around the carriHtre. The
travellers were politely desired to "descend."
"Don't be alraid, Madame, don't be atraid,"
they said to Mrs. Moods. The coachmau was
ordered to stay where he was tor a quarter of
an hour, and then to drive otF with tuelalies,
the two gentlemen being hurried oil' over fields
and through thickets.
Ihe buudits were wonderfully polite the
leader, whom Mr. Moens cume to kuotv quite
well as Captain Manzo, always addrcs.-ed them
as Signore "Gentlenen," with a strong accent on
the last syllable. "What do you want with us V
Inquired the captives. Dcnciro--non lemete ("The
Shiners don't he scared") was the reply. "How
far are we to walk ?" "A good way, a good way
enough." When they came to a stream the
brigands carried their enptives across ou their
shoulders. On they went through a a amps, over
dit-bes, and across cultivated uelds, marching
. in Indian tile, until midnight, liy the way they
stooped at a house aud bought a latle bread,
and a while alter came upon a patch ot cabbage
and onions, of which they made short work,
ocketingv hat they could not cat; wisely, as
t. Moens faond out beiore long.
, . Towards daybreak they halted on the banks
of a stream and hid among the osiers. The
brigands now began to inquire into the value of
their pri.e. It win quite impossible to con
vince ihcm that the Englishmen were not great
lords, notwithstanding the bauds ol Mr. Moens
were stained by his photographic chemicals.
"His bauds are black," said one, "mid his
troA&eruare like what, priiont-rs wear, and are
all wjrn oat, poor tellow ! "Wait, we'll tee,"
replied the Captain. At length u bit of the
hard sauaase, culled sujirrsalo, was ollered to
the prisoners, who deolured that "it would not
agree with their htomuuus." It sceujcd to
strike the captors as a good joke that auy man
rbould obiect to supeisato. "They'll lib e it
better bv-and-by," Faid he, wLich proved true
enough; lor Mr. Moens lound oeiore 10115 that
poor loud and little ot it was th'! nomal condi
tion, of brigands and their prisoners.
'TBesides the Englishmen, the brigands had
picked ip a couple ot Italian gentlemen; and as
soon as they got to a tolerably s;ile Fput the Cap
tain beaan "biuine" thai is fixing the rau
nom That ot one Italian was pat down at 12, 00 J
ducats, the other a, btiuo (a ducat is about 85
cents). The two Englishmen wero lumo''d
topether at 100,000 ducats. They declared that
such a sara was out of the question; the brigand-
Insistod thut it was quite moderate for two such
great lords, who were worth nt least two million-
apiece. Finally, they came down to 60.000, and
10 abatement. How to get at tho cash was now
the problem. Tne Englishmen declared that
their wives bad aot the money, and, being
strangers and ignorant of the language, could
not get it in Naples. It was finally arranged
that one of them -to be decided by lot siiould
go, and the other should stay. Mr. Moens drew
tne short stick, and had to remain, while, Mr
Aynslev wax harried oil by two men, who also
bore letters from the Italian prisoners to their
mends, asking tor the money for 1 heir ransom.
Hardly weie they away when the brigands
aw a compuuy ot 100 soldiers marching nloni
the road below a sharp skirmish took place;
but the gang, all save two, managed to gut oil'
with their captives. During the night the
baud was again surprised by the soldiers, and
there was more tiling. In the excitement the
Italian prisoners managed to escape. Tim
brigands did not look out very sharply lor these
small Italian Iry: but they took good care of
their big Csh, the great "rnglish Lord." They
weis now tar up the mountain side, and all
uext day Mr. Moens could see the soldiers
passing and repassing in the valley below,
looking like mites in the distance At first ho
meditated trying to epcape, out quickly dis
covered that the attempt would be madness.

himself considerably in endeavoring to

brieand's lite Is this," turning his head rapidly
over one shoulder and then over the other,
indicating by this geture con; taut apprwhciibion
ol 1111 enemy.
There were properly two bands oi these
robbers with whom Mr. Moens and Sinor
Visconti had to do. Ot one (iaotano Mano was
captain; of the other, Giardullo di Pesto,
captuied and shot soon alter. These gangs
toteiuer nuniueieii lunj-uu in-itmns, 01 huoiu
seven were runaway soldier-. Another, a iad
ot cight'cu, used to 'arry milk about
the streets, une uay a ineua uieu to cneat
him out of three or four dollars, where
upon the milk-boy stabbed bun and took to tho
mountains, xseuriy every mcuioer 01 tne oaui
was known to oe a murderer, iu :uct, Alanzo,
and one other, Mr. Aioens thinks, were the only
ones w ho hart not been guilty of that crime.
Whenever any money was. riceived a small sura
was set apart loi conim-.n expenses, and the re
mainder divided among all the bund, th can-
tain getting onlv a single share. Al every pos
sible moment the whole paug would lull to gum-
blmu. and m a lew das nearly all the money
would hnd its way into the hands ot lour or five

rlaces. even hen the soldier were known to
be uear, and when the risii at'endiug a quarrel
among themselves mittut easily have been latul

Mr. Moens thus describes the one leust-dav
wh;ch hapiienetl during Ills life with the bri-
gonits:

brmand were nuub o ,0 remuin near the town: aud
b.s'des tuis, tho peusuuts would not provide any
nreuu.-
Tins talk about "cutting off ears, etc." refers
lo uu uiipleai-cnt habit thai someol the tirigands
had 01 threatening to send the ears or nose ol
1 he captive to hi mend, by way ol spurring up
their zeal in forwarding ihe ransom. Once they
were apparently so nearly on tho point 01 aoin
this that Mr. Moens made up his mind to cut otf
the top ot un eur himself, in the hope ot saving
the remainder. He reasoned that a piece would
prouubl; answer the brigand' puiposo as well
as the tthrle; and it 1 nly the top was gone he
could hide the mutilation by his hair. Ouoe it
a susgested to send bis beurd, "with a piece
ol the chin attached," lor the same puipose.
They had, moreover, when out of humor, a very
(li'-agrecuble habit of diBctissiiifr b'ltore h'm the
best, places 10 strike in order to kill a man, aud
01 thrtibtiiig their long knives between his body
and arms. He met all their threats very
coolly, telling them that they miiit kill him as
soon as they pleased. Ills coolness aud pluc
clearly won their admiration; aud mot likely
their ihieats were never quite serioubly mount,
tiltLougn it wus cicur mat tbey would never

several some of the gang wero always placed
so as to be able to shoot the prisoner. For ihe
rest, their treatment was not especially brutal.
llelaied in general aoout as well as the arang
themselves, though that was hardly enough.
Iu tact, they appeured to look upon their cap
tives as lawful prisoners ot war, to be duly
"exchanged" lor money, xney would undoubt
edly have killed tneni rather than allow thctu
to escape or be rescued. It was every way for
their interest to keep tt cm alive; an t when the
sum aciecd upon was received they showed no
disposition to keep ihem longer.
Mano kept very good discipline among his
followers, and was in no way scrupulous us to
the methods ot enforcing it. Oucj fiuangc. oue
ot the liund, sot into a noisy quarrel with a
"ceniua.iiou." The captain ordered him to be
quiet; aud as the command was not at once
obeyed he rushed upon him, knocked him don,
and' kept hilling him aud rubbing his lace ou
the stones until it was bruised to a jelly. It
was not verv easy to be ineiry under such ct-
cumstabcec; but once, wheu luck bad given
them a sheep, and they dated to make a tire
to roat tt, the gang niaae a very lair attempt
at jollity, routing out songs, and requesting
one iroin their prisoner. They were greatly
burprl-cd to leara that sinning was nol one of
his tiecoinpiirhmciits. Iu Italy every man ia
preRuopoaed to bo able to smg us certainly as
to talk.
t-o week after wck passed away, Mrs. Moens
all the while making strenuous exertions to
iaie aud send the money for the ransom ot her
husbaud. Tnere was no ditll?iiUv 111 getting tho
money. One gentleman, the Rajah Ityienath, ol
India, ollered a aralt for flO.bOO; another depo
sifd iu bank at Naples K5()0, tho amount
demanded, to the credit 01 Mr. Moens. The
dillieuliy was in gett'ug the money to tbe
brigands, for it U a rave crime lor auv ono to
bold auy communication with them. Finally,
by threats tbe brigauds compelled Biguor Vis
conti. a gentleman ot (Jiff ini, a little town near
tbe mountains, who"0 ton had been their pri
soner, to act as their agent; and he received
verbal permission from the authorities to do bo.
Then it was not thought safe to send the sum at
once, lor tear that tbe bricands would pocket it
and demand more. Thev otteu threatened to
raise tbe price. On time a report became current
among them that the Italian uovernmeot would
pay the ransom; whereupon the captain satt
ttat he would not take les than a million franos.
Again news came that Lord Paluierston bad
m HAanuti.11 volutin,. 11 ma sfliiip. Iha
brieandf at onco lumped to the conclusion that
Mr. Moens must be a relative of tho Iltittih
Premier, and the value of their prlerose greatly
m their estimation- On tbe other hand, it was
an object with him to coavluce tbeni that he
was niorely a poor photographer, In order to
Induce them to lower ihe sum. They compelled
him, at sundry times, to write most plaintive
letters to bis wife, complaining of his bard la'o,
and imploHug her to send on his ransom. Man.o
dii tated these, and would not allow him to add
a word in English. Manzo himself wrote to
Visconti:
"I can do nothing more, because my band require
bo ute.y 60,0i 0 ducats, otherwite thet w.th to tako
hm life 1 lurotore Ihen.wi.h many tears ol my
mother, and many ptayert of m mutberand For
touno Teuesco. tbet had compassion, thev cnod to
mucn that tbey wanted to fa e mm with them I
imeiceded with my band, because they wished to
take hit life, thereupon tbey aid they would have
0 000 dncatt, with what I bavo already received,
wlmout deduct n a centimo-80 O0 duoats, other
wise we thall take bis lite."
At lentrth they agreed to take 30,000 ducats
(comet Ding more 'ban $25,000) in alt. Tne last
payment wa made on the 20th cf August, ttirce
months and five davs alter the capture. Manzo
giving a receipt for it in due torn.
It was not a very easy thing to get tho pri
soner to a place of i-atetv; but Manzo bad pro
mised 'hat he would do all he could to ken him
from danger; and, ebvs Mr. Moens, "I do
believe that be thought himself bound by honor,
as a bilgand cbiel, to deliver the Iwikie a'e to
hi- Iriends." The money was fairly divided
among the gang. There' had been originally
thirty ot thorn; but two had been shot by the
troops the day alter the capture, another had
falli n over a precipice and broken bis neck, uve
bad been captured, one had surrendered, another
hud been shot while foragimr, and three had
quarrelled wi h the othen, and were excluded
from any share of tbe money; so that there were
but seventeen left.
Captors at d captive partei with all duo for
malities. Manzo took otf bis hat, ami putting
some napokons in it, went round maltiug a col
lection, so that, as he phrased it, Mr. Moens
might "go to Naples like a gentleman." The
band, most of whom were "cleaned out" by
gambling, were not very liberal; whereupon
the captain took some money trom the com
mon bug, and made up tno sum to seventeen
and a half napoleons (about $70). Mr. Moens
a-kea him lcr a heavy gold cha'n which he
wore; Manzo was just taking it olF to give It
to him wheu somebody called him away, and
it was not received. Uencrosa gave himarinjc
as a keepsake; and, alter some hesitation, ex
changed tor a pen snife his own greit knife,
with which be had killed two men. I'asqiiale,
who had been the most ferocious of th gang,
and who was always hinting about cutting oil
car, walked up and ea7e a coupl ot napo
leons, "which," stjB Mr. Moen-, "I acccp'ed
with thanks." Uanzo's mother brought a small
loai of w hite bread and a little omelette. Tnn
came the final patting. Manzo asked w hat Mr.
Moens would say to the Prelect when questioned
about the band. Mr. Moens replied that he
BliouM say that this bund of about 30 had been
a match lor an army of 10,000 men. The bri
gand captain was highly deligh ed, rubbed his
aands with glee, and gave him two
more rings; Gencroso added another, making
five in all. Manzo said he was quite
satisfied with the amount which had been
paid him ; and Mr. Moens advised him in
future to conb'no his attention to his own
coun'rynien, since when a loreigner was taken
it got into all the newspapers, and the Oovem
ment was obliecd to send so many soldiers that
the trigands had very little chance of cscaoing.
The brigands protlcred to kiss him, alter tue
Italian method, but this Mr. Moens declined.
"I, however." he says, "shook hands all around
with them, they purtine; with me in the most
liiendly manner. Tho brieands wishins me a
pleasant jonrncv, wavtug their hands to me
whil' in "sight." Ho had becu a captive with
tbcm 102 days, during all of which time he bad
never entered a house.
When Mr. Moens at length made his entrance
into Gilioni, Ins apoeaiauce was not very a'trac
Uve. "My trowsers," be savs, "were ull iu
tatters, and hanging in r.libons at my let.
My toat was covered with the lat and grease
ol the meal which I had to carry in the
pocket; and all the lining of the skirts was torn
to threds. My wide-awake was dirty and torn.
My shirt 1 had worn day aud uiuht since the
19i h ot June, more than iao months; my boo's
were all broken, and many of the status un
stitched. It is ttiinoi-t unnecessary to describe
the t-ta e of my body. 1 was covered with sores
lrom the eilect of the vermin, through the rri-
gauds having steadily ret used to allow me to
remove my clothing lor wasning puroo-e, ami
never allowing me to stop at a stream, tor tonr
ot the troops con.ing upon us before 1 could re
arrange tnv dress."
'Ihe subject of Brieanilano in Italy, practi
cally presented m the lively work ot .Mr. Moens,
is a "very curious one. He was captursd bv a
rnilroad one ot the lew in Italy, and therefore
in the midst ot a ocute population. For alaiost
ot u third ol a ycur he wai carried around lrom
place to piace among the mountains, never
going nioie than forty or til ty miles trom tue
gmu city ol jsapies. it is mucn as tnoucn one
1 un been seized bv a band of robbers within a
couple of hours lrom New York, carried oil' to
the Highlands, ana Kept tnere ior tnree mourns
and more, and only leleascd upon the payment
ot 8-20,01.0 or $110,000. Nor was this a single case
ol seizure by I his band. During that year tuny
a Ecore of persons were m like manner taken by
the same combined gaug. for whom ransoms
amounting in all to hall a million dollars were
dt nianocd; ard more than $100,000 was actually
paid. Tbe richest pilze, in Their estimation, was
that of "fciguor Wcnucr, son ol A.beri Weuner,
calico printer ot Suleruo," captured by Manzo's
baud a month atterthcreleuseot Mr. Moens. For
him more than $2110,000 was demanded, uud un
instalment of $26,000 paid; but at the latest,
accounts he was still held, the brigands demand
ing the who!e amount. These are only the great
catches; besides them were many ol smaller
amounts. All this it must be borne in mind,
bcioucs only to a sine to province. As tar as we
can asceitam, a similar state ot mines ex'sts in
a considerable part ot tho dominions ot Victor
Kmanuel. The consequence is, as staed by Mr.
Moens, that the "proprietors." or indeed any
person tupposed to be wealthy, "daro not show
tbeir laces out ot their nouses, ior tuey pre car
ried off lrom the very villages, should they
venture to go a step lrom their own door." He
found it so at Palermo, where "no one dare
ventuie beyond the gates ot tne city ioi (ear ot
the br'gands."
The business of brigandage is carried on by
the aid and in ormation, and greatly to the
prolit of the peasantry, w ho seem to bo one and
all in league with tne brigands. They turnish
them with food and other necessaries, lor which
they charge extravagant prices. Mr. Moens
was allowed to inspect the accounts ot Cuptain
Munzo, and ho atlirms that tive-slxths of tho
money received In the wav of ransom" went to
the peasants. For a loaf ot breud, weighing 3i
pourds, costing In the towns lrom threepence
to sixpence, the brigands paid a ducat three
6hilliufs and fourpence and in like proportion
tor everything. Tho peasants act tbe part of
"fences," aud. like other unices, aet nearly all
tho gains of the actual perpetrators of a rob
bery. This proutuble business Is indeed a risky
oue; for Mr. Moens was informed that, during
the time bo wus wi'h the brisanda, more than
one thousand five hundred peasants were arrest
ed and Imprisoned on suspicion of complicity
with the brigands in only two provinces, and he
was iu fear alter h'B release that some of the
relatives of these persons would assnssinato him
in revenge: font eeems that it was in conse
quence oi the notoriety given to his seizure that
the Government was stirred up to unwonted
vigor.
Complicity with the brigands is, however, by
no meaus confined to the peusautg, lor among
h.'se arretted on this charge we hnd three
priests, a baron, two syndics, a doctor, and a
score entitled to style tbcmsolve "Don" and
"Kianor." What nope is there for a poople
among whom brteaniage and begging are tho
moBt notable institutional
Tbe measures deliberately recommended by
Mr. Moei'B and others tor the suppression of
brigandage, may be studied with benefit by
those Europeans whose delicate sensibilities
were bhocked bv some ot the stringent orders
respecting "bridge-burners" and "guerillas"
AUGUST 7, ISOQ.
Eut forth by us during Ihe laie Itebvllion. Thos.
e wou'd "levy the sum paid as a ransom lor
any captive u on tbe district haunted by the
band." And, "In addition to ihi, a court
martial hi Id on tho spot on any one lonnd with
more bread upon his person than specllcd
aniouul-tay rufllcient lor his mid diy meal;
and it, alter a sppedy trial, any one thus proved
to have any dealings whatsoever with the
briaands were hanged, excepting, always, any
persons who may be rescuing one of
i heir family from the brigand' hands, it
would cause a great state of (ear among
the peasants." And "when any of the
inhabitants ol tho villages and the surrounding
cokblry were abseot at nieht, they should be
made lo account lor being aoroad. This would
speedily prevent all carrying of food during the
nieht. In fact, a Cnrtew Act, gt1Ch as that
which existed not so very long atro in Ireland,
would soom produce the desired effect."
