SAVAGE MURDERS
COMMITTED BY FASCISTS IN FERRARA
TWELVE VICTIMS SHOT IN BACK REPRISALS FOR ASSASSINATION OF DELEGATE (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) LONDON, November 25. Lorries loaded with Fascist soldiers, fighting incessantly, drove through Ferrara when reprisals were ordered for the assassination a week ago of Ferrara's Fascist delegate Chisseline, says the Swiss newspaper “Libera Stampa.” It adds that Pavolihi, Secretary-Gen-eral of the new Fascist Party, ordered the reprisals. Workers were shut in factories and pedestrians hurried home, where doors and Windows were barred. About 300 persons, whose attitude to the new Fascist Party was doubtful, were taken from offices, factories and homes and imprisoned in a mediaeval castle. Twelve of them were taken to the castle’s courtyard and shot in the back with revolvers, without trial. Fascist soldiers guarded the corpses all night in a square outside the castle. Several prominent citizens were found in the morning among the dead.
