American ambassador thwarts Roman carnival assailant
In Rome during the carnival period, Mr Martin Rogers, a New York merchant, visited Hon. Richard Lesley the American ambassador. A masked assailant struck Rogers from behind, but the blow failed to kill thanks to chain mail on the ambassador’s costume. The assassin fled, and investigators linked the plot to a Belgian murderer extradition case, prompting further pursuit by Lesley and Cardinal Montovart with police aid.
