church at Cleveland. O., who' lost his
father and mother in the disaster, is
here today preparing to make formal
complaint to the state department. He
is an American. He said:
"The cowardice of Italian soldiers
and the, police cost the life of my
father. Suffering untold agonies, he
lay three days, pinioned under debris.
The relief corps was afraid to aid him
because its members feared the fall
ing walls. They talked to him three
days, but made no effort to effect his
rescue. I saw Italian soldiers, under
the eves of officers, commit acts of
cruelty which no newspaper dare
print. No help was given the poor
without remuneration."
