Finally, a young Italian police lieutenant, Victor Petrosio, begged for a chance to break up the gang. He was given the opportunity and the story of his wonderful experiences and the dangers he encountered, we have told in pictures. Not only do we show "the Italian Sherlock Holmes" fighting against terrible odds at the risk of his life, but the scenes incident to the rescue of the kidnapped children, the capture of the wily Black Hand leader, and the return of the children to their grief-stricken parents; but we illustrate that notable occasion when the brave Petrosio was honored for his daring by the entire department in the presence of his brother officers and representatives of the press.
