The reason of this security is simple euough Ho was good to the poor-a- ny peasant In need ot help could always get a gold coin from Tlburzl and he punished traitors. Consequently the peasants were ready to assist him against the police or government emissaries, and those who would willingly have given information were afraid to do so After his escape Tiburzi altered his method of gaining a living.
