Free After Fifty Years.
King Victor Emmanuel has pardoned the notorious Sicilian brigand chieftain, Giuseppe Ferrara, who has been incarcerated in the Ancona convict settlement for half a century. He is now a fine stalwart old man of 70, and has been given a two years' ticket-of-leave. He left prison for Palermo to rejoin his elder brother and his copartner in the ' brigand profession who was granted a Royal pardon some time ago. Ferrara has been commissioned to write his impressions of the modern world and what he thinks of trains, trams, cycles, motor-cars, and other inventions whiteh are new to him. He expressed himself fairly bowled over at the sight of the Italy of to-day.
