actually in the building of the sub-prefecture. B·eraldi is carried out dead, and from a subsequent examination of the numerous contusions on various parts of the body, and especially on the head, it is proved that death was due to the blows dealt against him. Catrara.-.As a reprisal for homicide, the Fascists give chase to the brothers Secchiari, one of whom is killed by a rifle shot, while the other falls down a precipitous ravine and is seriously injured. Brescia.-A group of Fascist militiamen attack a peasant family, striking them with the butts of their rifles. Andrea Gnocchi, 70 years of age, so seriously ,vounded that he dies shortly afterwards. Rome.-A large band of Fascists set off from the centre of the city for the house of Signor Nitti, exPrin1e l\iinister, on the other side of the Tiber. A great number of revolver and rifle shots fired both inside and outside the house. The furniture destroyed, the members of the household threatened, etc. The police arrive when it is all over. The foregoing is only a list of some typical instances of the manifestations of Fascist lawlessness which were continuous in the first year of Fascist government. Lawlessness is now a permanent feature, especially in some parts of Italy, where the law and the constitution and the very organs of the law have been superseded, lawless government being imposed on the citizens by violence or, in the end, merely by threats of violence. The things that have been possible, especially in the rural communes, with the open connivance of the governing authorities, in cases vvhere the citizens have shown any sign of a perfectly legitimate resistance, are exemplified in the history of Molinella, a small commune of less than 15,000 inhabitants in the Province of Bologna. 102 BibliotecaGino Bianco
