SENTENCED
The Camorrists Who Have
Been on Trial For Two
Years Are All Foud Guilty
The Camorrists who have been on
trial for neaily two years on the charge
of having murdered Gennara Cuoccolo
and his wife in June, 1906, were Mon
day adjudged guilty in varying degrees
at Viterbo, Italy. The verdict declares
Corrado Sortino guilty of both murders;
Nicolo Morra, Antonio Cerrato and
Marino Di Gennarro guilty of the
murder of Cuoccolo, and Giuseppi Salvi
guilty of the murder of Cuoccolo’s
wife. Enrico Alfano, the alleged leader
of the Camorrists, Giovanni Rapi, Di
Marinas and the others are con\ncted
of being instigators of the crime and
members of a criminal organization.
The President of the court immediate
ly sentenced the condemned men. Sor
tino, Merrato, Salvi, Morra, Di Gennaro
Alfano, Rapi and Di Marinas were sen
tenced to 30 years imprisonment and j
to 10 years police surveillance each; Di
Mattio to 10 years and six months im
prisonment and 10 years surveillance;
Ascrittore to 10 years imprisonment
and three years surveilance; Vitozzi,
the priest, seven years imprisonment
and two years surveilance, the others
to five years impribonment and three
years surveillance.
When the accused men were placed
in the iron cage to hear the verdict, Di
Marinas suddenly drew forth a piece of
glass and cut his throat. He fell to
the floor in a pool of blood and general
pandemonium broke loose. The other
prisoners screamed like wild animals,
shouting invectives and imprecations.
Rapi shouted: “This innocent blood is
crying for revenge.” Alfano raged
around and recalled his brother’s death
who, he cried was a victim of justice
and man who had suffered the marty-
dom of innocence.”
Vitozzi knelt weeping and praying.
All the prisoners acted like maniacs,
and the carbineers had difficulty in
forcing their way into the cage to
maintain order and carry out the
wounded Di Marinas.
It’s a Pretty Good Plan to
Forget It.
If you see a fellow ahead of
the crowd,
A leader of men, marching fear
less and proud.
And you know of a tale whose
whose telling aloud,
Would cause his proud head in
anguish be bowed.
It’s a pretty good plan to forget it
It you know of a skeleton hid
den away.
In a closet, and guarded and kept
from the day
In the dark, whose showing,
whose sudden display,
Would cause grief and sorrow
and lifelong dismay.
It’s a pretty good plan to forget it
If you know of a spot in the life
of a friend,
(We all haye such spots conceal
ed, world without end),
Whose touching his heart-strings
would play on and rend,
Till the shame of it’s showing
no grieving could mend.
It’s a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a thing that will
darken the joy.
Of a man or a woman, a girl, or
a boy.
That will wipe out a smile, or
the least way annoy
A fellow, or cause any glad
ness to cloy
It’s a pretty good plan to forget it
If you know of a thing, just a
least little sin.
Whose telling would work up a
laugh or a grin.
Of a man you don’t like, for love’s
sake keep it in!
(Don’t dcn’tbea knocker! right
here stick a pin).
It's a yretty good plan to forget it.

Wilson Will Win*
The Observrr never before read the
big North.jrn papers with quite so much
delight. “Almost to a man” they are
for Woodrow Wilson and predict his
election. The Philadelphia Record
openly says that Wilson will be the
next President, and it rejoices to say
so. The New York Times, The New
York World and The New York Even
ing Post are Wilson shuters. The
staid old New York Tribune gets
around saying too much in praise of
Wilson bv diverting attention into an
important direction—the effect Wil
son’s nomination will have upon the
fortunes of Colonel Roosevelt. The
Tribune thinks the victory of the pro
gressives at Baltimore knocks the
props from under the projectors of the
' third party movemenL It holds that
there is not room enough for two radi
cal candidates in the field.—Charlotte

Snake Had Lived on Eggs.
On his morning round for eggs re*
^ntly, Michael Helseman of Custice,
p., reached into a hen’s nest and
touched an objoct that made him
lump back quickly. A closer examin-
ttion showed a big spotted snake
soiled in the nest. Beating a hasty re
treat, Helseman secured a shotgun
ind on reaching the nest noticed that
the snake had swallowed a china nest
Egg and was gradually working It
lown its throat. It was but the work
)f a moment to blow off the hesil of
IhiB reptile. Helseman then recalled
the fact that his egg supply had de-
jlined recently, and be thinks that the
make, with perhaps its mate, had
>een making forays on the roost for
K)me time.
Reinforced Concrete of Old Rome.
Although concrete has been use4
for many centuries, it Is generally sup*
posed that reinforced concrete is %
modern invention. This, however, ha#
been disproved, according to Popular
Mechanics by the finding of bronzt
reinforcing rods in the concrete roci
of an ancient Roman tomb, and in the
discovery of reinforced concrete iB
the construction of ‘t)ne of the walls
of the old palace of the Louvre, Pario.
The reinforced concrete in the lat
ter dates back only 300 or 400 years,
but created much comment because
the walls were thought to consist en
tirely of ashlar and quarry stone. The
discovery that the stone casing coir
cealed a core composed In part of rj*
inforced concrete was made while
workmen were piercing the wall for
m elevator installation.

“The Batlimore convention has regis

ocrat without regard to past preferences
accept that decision with good will

“We should all contribute every ef
fort in our power, dictated by good
judgment and honest consideration, to
accomplish this result. The party is
united, and as the can^paign progresses
I believe it will gain the confidence of
the country and that an overwhelming
majority of the American people will
conclude that the best interests of the
lepublic and all its people without re
gard to class or condition will be best
served by placing the Democratic party
in power.”
