THE K 1TEBALD0
Curious Messenger of Death In
vented by an Italian
TRAGIC LEGEND OF VENICE
Unique Weapon With Which the Man
of Mystery and Murder Sought to
Slay His Way to the Hand of the
Woman He Loved
The chronicles of Venice tell that in
the earlier part of the seventeenth
tury a certain stranger a man of dark
and sinister aspect arrived In the city
His name was Tehaldo He appears
to have been a man of unruly passions
of great intellectual power but one
whose talents found their chief outlet
in crime
One day he observed a beautiful ghi
leaving church attended in a maimer
which showed she belonged to a family
of high degree She was in fact the
daughter of au ancient and noble
house He fell violently in love with
her Though far removed from him In
station his blind passion took no count
of this fact and he determined to sue
for her hand
There proved to be however a more
insuperable obstacle to his suit The
girl was already betrothed to another
a young nobleman of almost equal
rank and fortune The knowledge did
not deter Tehaldo who boldly present
ed himself before the girls parents in
the capacity of a suitor for her hand
As might have been expected he met
with a curt and unceremonious rebuff
The repulse rankled in his mind En
raged beyond measure he shut himself
up in his own house and there secretly
studied a means of revenge Pro
foundly skilled in the mechanical arts
he allowed himself no rest until he had
invented a most formidable and death
dealing weapon This was a large key
the handle of which was so construct
ed that it could he turned at will
When it was thus turned a secret
spring was disclosed which on being
pressed launched from the key head a
fine needle or lancet The latter was
of such delicate construction that it
penetrated the body of the victim and
buried itself deep in the flesh without
leaving any external trace
The marriage of the betrothed cou
ple was fixed to take place in the prin
cipal church in Venice on a certain
day Before the ceremony Tehaldo
cunningly disguised stationed himself
at the church door armed with his dia
bolical weapon As the bridegroom
was about to enter the building the
concealed watcher pressed the spring
and sent the deadly steel lancet into
the breast of his victim The young
nobleman had no suspicion of injury
at the moment In the midst of the
ceremony however he was seized
with a sharp spasm of pain and sank
fainting on the steps of the altar He
was hurriedly conveyed to his home
where the leading Venice physicians
were summoned to attend him In
spite of their unremitting efforts he
sank and died nor were they able to
discover the nature of the mysterious
and fatal seizure
With the removal of his rival Te
haldo once more presented himself be
fore the girls parents and renewed his
request for her hand Their refusal to
listen to him sealed their doom In
what manner he accomplished it is not
known but within a few days both
had been done to death in the same
sudden and mysterious fashion
The exalted rank of the victims cre
ated a profound sensation and when
on examination of the bodies a fine
steel instrument was found in the
flesh terror became universal The cit
izens feared for their lives Tho ut
most vigilance was exercised on the
part of the authorities but as yet no
suspicion fell upon Tehaldo
The bereaved girl retired to a eon
vent where she passed the first months
of mourning in sorrowful seclusion
Tehaldo however sought her out in
her retreat and begged to speak to her
through the grating
His dark evil face had always been
displeasing to her but srce the death
of her betrothed and parents it had be
come repulsive When therefore in
the course of the interview he pressed
her to fly with him he nu t with an in
stant and indignant refusal ner scorn
stung him to the quick Beside him
self with rage he brought his deadly
weapon once more into play and suc
ceeded in wounding the girl through
the grating the obscurity of the place
preventing his action from being ob
served
On her return to her room the girl
felt a sharp pain in her breast Exami
nation of the spot showed that it was
dotted with a single drop of blood
Physicians were hastily summoned
Taught by past experience ther wast
ed no time in vain conjecture but cut
into the flesh and extracted the slen
der steel thus saving the girls life
The dastardly attempt occasioned a
public outcry The visit of Tehaldo to
the convent became known and caused
suspicion to turn upon him The em
issaries of the law descended suddenly
upon him his house was searched and
there the abominable invention was
discovered Swift justice followed
and he ended his days upon the scaf
fold
The key is still preserved in the ar
senal at Venice Chambers Journal
