Viterbo, Italy, March 16.—The rules '*for criminal procedure in Italy make possible frequent dramatic incidents and it was due to this that today’s session of the trial of the Cammorists for murder held the lively interest of the crowd that occupied very availa ble square foot in the old church of San P'ranQesco. When court opened the clerk resumed recital, however, being broken by in- the prisoners and this took up the whole forenoon, the monotony of the. recital, howevr, being broken by in terruptions froiu the prisoners cage or by others m the room whose inter ests were in some manner involved. When the clerk read the passage re ferring to the priest. Cirovitozzi, the aged prisoner was visibly affected and at the words, "Although never con demned, Vitozzi is a criminal,“ he raised his eyes to heaven anu murmur ed: “I offer my suffering to relieve souls in purgatory.” During the description of the mur der of CJennaro Cuoccolo and his wife, ilaria, “the beautiful Sorentina,.’’ Mari ana de Gennaro, who is charged wilh being one of the actual assassins, rose from his seat in the steel pen, great ly agitated. The reading clerk paused a moment and the prisonei, placing his hand over his heart, and addressing his wife.wiio was among the spectators said: “1 swear to you 1 am innocent.” •‘I swear to you 1 am innocent.’' With these words he burst into tears. On another occasion de Angelis and Amodeo iirotested their innocence and demanded redress for having been falsely involved by the Priest Vitozzi. Their arrest was due to a declaration to the I'olice by tne priest and in aid of Erricone, the alleged brains of the Camorra. When Erricone was first arrested Vitozzi, who is his godfather, went to the authorities and wilh a great show of secrecy confided to them that he knew Erricone to be innocent, for the reason that another, one Ascrittore, had confessed to him that he had committed the double murder. Ascrittore was found to be a member of the Caitiorra and when pressed he denounced as the authors of the mur ders de Angelis and Amodeo, both criminals and then fugitives from By Associated Press. K1 Paso, Tex., March IG.—Colonel M. Tamborel, military commander of .Juarez, stated this morning that the bomb thrown into the military bar racks last night did no damage, and that nobody was captured. The shots of the sentries, he said, did not hit any body. J. A. McDaniels, an engineer on the Mexican Northwestern Railroad, who arrived today on a hand car, reported that tlie road is cut to pieces from .Juarez lo its southern teiininns at Pearson. He saw man.v insurrectos headed south but did not see Madero’s army marching north toward .Jaurez, as reported. El Paso, Texai, Match 16.—Juarez spent a sleeiiless night. The streets were patrolled by double forces of guards. Practically the entire garri son was under arms in front of the barracks and the headquarters of Genera] Navarro and of Colonel Tam borel, the commandant. At day break sleepy guards posted on the house tops swei>t the country for signs of insurrectos but if they were in the vicinity they kejit well under cover. The coming of daylight materially lessened the anxiety aroused by last night's attack uiion the barracks, w'hen a sma^l band of insurrectos who had managed to slip through the lines into the city, demolished a portion of the barracks with bombs and effected their escape with the loss of but two of their number who were injured and taken prisoners. The authorities pers-ist in their dec laration liiat the fedei'al troo])s suffer ed no loss in killed or wounded and gave repeated assurances that there was no cause for anxiety. Business has been resumed and mc»t of those who had iilanned to take refuge on the .\merican side changed their minds to day. It is not thought the insurrectors are dear the city in any great number, the small band under Captain Oscar Creighton, the American, being the only one reported at all close at hand. Madero, with 1,000 men, is farther south, where he is said to be waiting to effect a juncture with Orozco’s force of 500, after which, it is reported, the insurrecto leader will begin a march nortliward to the border.
