Police leading a man named in the title as Vitazzi, described there as a "Camorra priest," toward court is what sets this picture apart from the rest of the board. The Camorra was a Neapolitan criminal society, and its activities drew attention among Italian communities abroad in the early 1900s, when newspapers often ran photographs of such arrests. The Bain News Service, the agency George Grantham Bain founded, supplied pictures like this to newspapers across the country. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the occasion and the man's identity remain uncertain.
