CHRIST BAND IRE FOUND GUILTY I DESPERATE EFFORT AT SUICIDE MARKS CLOSE OF TRIAL OF CAMORRISTS. RAGED LIKE WILD ANIMALS All Convicted and Qivsn Long Terms. Trial Drawn Out Nearly Two Yesrs. Vlterbo, Italy.—The Camorrlsts who ; have been on trial for nearly two 1 years on the charge of having mur dered Cenhara Cuoccolo and his wife In June, 1906, v were adjudged guilty 1 In varying degrees. 1 Enrico Alfano, the alleged leader of the Camorrlsts, Giovanni Kapi D 1 Marinas, and the others are convict ed of being instigators of the crime ! and members of a criminal organiza tion. The president of the court sentenc ! Ed the condemned men, Bortlno, Cer rato, Salvl, Morra, Di Genaro, Alfano, Rapl and Di Marinas. They were sen tenced to thirty years' Imprisonment and to ten years police surveillance each; di Mattlo, to ten years and six months' Imprisonment and three years' surveillance; Ascrittore to ten years' imprisonment and three years surveillance; Vltozzl, the priest, seven years' imprisonment and two years' surveillance; the others to five years' Imprisonment and three years' sur veillance. 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 themselves hoarse with Invectives and Impreca tions. Alfano raged around and recalled his brother's death, who, he cried, was a "victim of injustice and a man who has suffered the martyrdom of In nocence." Vitoz/.l knelt and praying. All the prlson«*fs acted like maniacs, and the carbineers had difficulty in forcing (heir way Into the cage to maintain order and carry out the wounded Di Marlnus. Some of them shook their fists at the Judge and othprs tore at the bars of the cage. They attempted In con cert to harangue those assembled in the court. In addition to the police and carl bineers within the building, a battaP" lon of troops with fixed bayonets was drawn up oXitßlde. it was feared that some attempt might bo made to res cue the prisoners. The Camorra trial stirred the world by revelations of the ramifications of the criminal association. The direct accusation which brought to light the operations of the Camor ra was the murder of a member, Ce narro Cuoccolo. ordered by Camorra.

THE KING VISITS THE SCENE Sixty-Nine Persons Are Desd—But Por the Pact That Many of the Miners Were Taking a. Holiday, Fatalities Would Be Larger. Conisbrough, England.—The bodies of 69 victims of a series of explosions in the Cadeby colliery have been brought to the surface. It is feared that a further search of the mine will increase the death roll to 80. Of the killed, 30 were mine workers; the oth ers were men who went Into the pits to rescue those entombed. Among these were three government inspec tors, including William Henry Picker ing, chief inspector of mines, York shire and north Midland district, who was to have explained to King George and Queen Mary the workings of an other Yorkshire colliery. The King visited a colliery adjacent to that in which the explosions oc curred. The presence of their majes ties in the district greatly minimized the fatalities, because the miners were celebrating and had taken a holi day. Therefore, Instead of the usual I3S, only 32 men were working in that part of the mine where the accident happened. Thirty of these were kill ed outright and one, the manager of the pit, was brought up alive, but died 1 later. The first explosion which killed the | miners occurred early in the morning. It was followed by an explosion about five o'clock in the afternoon which re sulted in the collapse of the roof, over whelming the entire rescuing brigade. The King and Queen visited the scene and personally expressed their sympathy. An accumulation of gas which was ignited by the firing of a shot Is be lieved to have been the cause of the disaster.
