Erricone \'as forced to use all his
cunning. While he showed niuch dev-
ei ;''ess it v as evident that his re
plies had less effect cm the jury than
when accompanied by emotional out
bursts.
The most pertinent question put
to Erricone was why ite fled to
America when Abbatemaggio began
to make his revelations Erricone Vwis
momentarily non-pttlsed but he an-
that i">e was sufteiitig ftoin
intestinal trouble and feared that it
would be aggravated by confinement
in jail. ^

“That a^.seriion,“ said the presi
dent, “is explained when it is nn-
aerstf.iod that a rule of the society
obliges Camorrists to deny at all
times the existence of the organi^a,-
Erricone made no attempt to le-
I'ute this statement. He continued
that it was an easy matter to leave
Naples '.without a passport by pro
senting fifty lire, to a certain per-
son.
His inly show of rage camc with
his denunciaTifm of Abbatemaggio
when the examination shifted to
th‘ informer. He described Abbate-
maggiti's '■itateinents as fantastic. I.ie
der.nuided to know the truth of the
report that Abbatemaggio had oc
cupied his time in prison by reading
the memoirs d Petrosiuo. Abbatemag
gio stated that he had read the me
moirs. but not until after he had
given his deposMions.
|.;rrieone declared Abbatemaggio
told lies and repented Ihe various
scandalous stories sttcb as appeared
in (he Naples papers. He supplied
the papers with material for numer
ous siories'about the alleged Camor-
ra, Erricone said, and secured enough
remuneration lo live comfortably. Er
ricone maintained that Abbatemaggio
lied boldly regardless of the conse
quences.
