They
settled
down
in
a
tenement
on
Tenth
Avenue
,
near
35th
Street
,
only
a
few
blocks
from
where
Vito
worked
,
and
two
years
later
were
blessed
with
their
first
child
,
Santino
,
called
by
all
his
friends
Sonny
because
of
his
devotion
to
his
father
.
In
the
neighborhood
lived
a
man
called
Fanucci
.
He
was
a
heavy-set
,
fierce-looking
Italian
who
wore
expensive
light-colored
suits
and
a
cream-colored
fedora
.
This
man
was
reputed
to
be
of
the
"
Black
Hand
,
"
an
offshoot
of
the
Mafia
which
extorted
money
from
families
and
storekeepers
by
threat
of
physical
violence
.
However
,
since
most
of
the
inhabitants
of
the
neighborhood
were
violent
themselves
,
Fanucci
's
threats
of
bodily
harm
were
effective
only
with
elderly
couples
without
male
children
to
defend
them
.
Some
of
the
storekeepers
paid
him
trifling
sums
as
a
matter
of
convenience
.
However
,
Fanucci
was
also
a
scavenger
on
fellow
criminals
,
people
who
illegally
sold
Italian
lottery
or
ran
gambling
games
in
their
homes
.
The
Abbandando
grocery
gave
him
a
small
tribute
,
this
despite
the
protests
of
young
Genco
,
who
told
his
father
he
would
settle
the
Fanucci
hash
.
His
father
forbade
him
.
Vito
Corleone
observed
all
this
without
feeling
in
any
way
involved
.
One
day
Fanucci
was
set
upon
by
three
young
men
who
cut
his
throat
from
ear
to
ear
,
not
deeply
enough
to
kill
him
,
but
enough
to
frighten
him
and
make
him
bleed
a
great
deal
.
Vito
saw
Fanucci
fleeing
from
his
punishers
,
the
circular
slash
flowing
red
.
What
he
never
forgot
was
Fanucci
holding
the
cream-colored
fedora
under
his
chin
to
catch
the
dripping
blood
as
he
ran
.
As
if
he
did
not
want
his
suit
soiled
or
did
not
want
to
leave
a
shameful
trail
of
carmine
.
But
this
attack
proved
a
blessing
in
disguise
for
Fanucci
.
The
three
young
men
were
not
murderers
,
merely
tough
young
boys
determined
to
teach
him
a
lesson
and
stop
him
from
scavenging
.
Fannucci
proved
himself
a
murderer
.
A
few
weeks
later
the
knife-wielder
was
shot
to
death
and
the
families
of
the
other
two
young
men
paid
an
indemnity
to
Fanucci
to
make
him
forswear
his
vengeance
.
After
that
the
tributes
became
higher
and
Fanucci
became
a
partner
in
the
neighborhood
gambling
games
.
As
for
Vito
Corleone
,
it
was
none
of
his
affair
.
He
forgot
about
it
immediately
.
During
World
War
I
,
when
imported
olive
oil
became
scarce
,
Fanucci
acquired
a
part-interest
in
the
Abbandando
grocery
store
by
supplying
it
not
only
with
oil
,
but
imported
Italian
salami
,
hams
and
cheeses
.
He
then
moved
a
nephew
into
the
store
and
Vito
Corleone
found
himself
out
of
a
job
.
By
this
time
,
the
second
child
,
Frederioo
,
had
arrived
and
Vito
Corleone
had
four
mouths
to
feed
.
Up
to
this
time
he
had
been
a
quiet
,
very
contained
young
man
who
kept
his
thoughts
to
himself
.
The
son
of
the
grocery
store
owner
,
young
Genco
Abbandando
,
was
his
closest
friend
,
and
to
the
surprise
of
both
of
them
,
Vito
reproached
his
friend
for
his
father
's
deed
.
Genco
,
flushed
with
shame
,
vowed
to
Vito
that
he
would
not
have
to
worry
about
food
.
That
he
,
Genco
,
would
steal
food
from
the
grocery
to
supply
his
friend
's
needs
.
This
offer
though
was
sternly
refused
by
Vito
as
too
shameful
,
a
son
stealing
from
his
father
.
The
young
Vito
,
however
,
felt
a
cold
anger
for
the
dreaded
Fanucci
.
He
never
showed
this
anger
in
any
way
but
bided
his
time
.
He
worked
in
the
railroad
for
a
few
months
and
then
,
when
the
war
ended
,
work
became
slow
and
he
could
earn
only
a
few
days
'
pay
a
month
.
Also
,
most
of
the
foremen
were
Irish
and
American
and
abused
the
workmen
in
the
foulest
language
,
which
Vito
always
bore
stone-faced
as
if
he
did
not
comprehend
,
though
he
understood
English
very
well
despite
his
accent
.
One
evening
as
Vito
was
having
supper
with
his
family
there
was
a
knock
on
the
window
that
led
to
the
open
sir
shaft
that
separated
them
from
the
next
building
.
When
Vito
pulled
aside
the
curtain
he
saw
to
his
astonishment
one
of
the
young
men
in
the
neighborhood
,
Peter
Clemenza
,
leaning
out
from
a
window
on
the
other
side
of
the
air
shaft
.
He
was
extending
a
white-sheeted
bundle
.
"
Hey
,
paisan
,
"
Clemenza
said
.
"
Hold
these
for
me
until
I
ask
for
them
.
Hurry
up
.
"
Automatically
Vito
reached
over
the
empty
space
of
the
air
shaft
and
took
the
bundle
.
Clemenza
's
face
was
strained
and
urgent
.
He
was
in
some
sort
of
trouble
and
Vito
's
helping
action
was
instinctive
.
But
when
he
untied
the
bundle
in
his
kitchen
,
there
were
five
oily
guns
staining
the
white
cloth
.
He
put
them
in
his
bedroom
closet
and
waited
.
He
learned
that
Clemenza
had
been
taken
away
by
the
police
.
They
must
have
been
knocking
on
his
door
when
he
handed
the
guns
over
the
air
shaft
.
