l arris t Tourists ce T our Pirate King‘s Gold Stirs Italian Heirs Rumor Says Renegade Ruler Rome.â€"â€"Italy was thrilled last week by a strange story of reckless piracy, of African queens, of enormous acâ€" cumulated wealth, of war, love, mur-} der and poisoning, which was revealed when over 100 persons joined in a conâ€" sortium to claim heredity with a mythâ€" ical Italian pirate who, after marryâ€" in the Queen of Madagascar, became King of that distant land and died cxactly one hundred years ago at the immature age of 37, leaving to his Italian heirs a huge fortune estimated at 500,000,000. Some say he died in warfare, others that he was poisoned The story is told as follows: A certain Frederico da Re, nickâ€" named "Bonnet," having committed @ serious crime over a century ago, f@cd for his life from his native place of Vittorio Venito. _ He escaped to Africa, where, having banded together with a group of desperadoes even more reckless and desperate than himâ€" self, he seized a merchant vessel and wave himself up to the lucrative trade of piracy. He chose as the field of his activity the eastern coast of Africa, making inroads as far south as Madagascar. There he wooed and won the Queen of n native tribe, eventually marrying her, Reing an energetic, clever man, he soon declared war against the neighâ€" boring tribes and conquered them. In a few years he was ruling over the whole of Madagascar and was proâ€" claimed Emperor, under the title of che tre He left t NATIONâ€"WIDE CLAIMS. Several persons in his presumed naâ€" tive town of Vittoria Venito immediâ€" ately advanced claims as his lawful heirs. But suddenly other claimants appeared in the Province of Cuneo who averred they could prove that they were the direct descendants of a certain Bonnet of Rocca Brunna who had conquered the Kingdom of Madaâ€" gascar. Then still more claimants apâ€" peared in the Province of Friuli, others in Sicily, and finally there were few Italian families unable to prove that their geneological tree contained some Bonnet or some da Re at some time or other. Thus matters were brought to a standstill, it being im possible to decide who the true des eendants of Radames I. of Madagasâ€" ew vé pos cen car Was Crowned Radames 1 It now appears that six persons at Turin are able to prove conclusively that they are the lawful heirs of the oneâ€"time pirate who became a King. They have filed a legal claim for his money, which is held by the Oriental Indian Banking Company. This naâ€" turally drew upon them the fire of all the other heirs. These joined in a consortium, disposiag of considerable funds and compused of over 100 perâ€" sons who are fighting their claim in ;;}y~";;;>'s.sii;lé manner.
