of the prisoners Deles; seised with con

resumption of the slttlns;. which waa

of a Juror. At that time Gulsepe Salvt.
one of those who Is allesjed to have
stabbed to death Genarro Cuoccolo and
his wire, waa being questioned by Pres
ident Blanrhl concerning bis career.
Camorra Avenged halTl.
This morning Ss.lv! waa called for
cross-examination. It Is charged be 1'
the man who furnished the final evi
dence of Cuoccolo's treachery In tha
Camorra and so brought about bis sen
tence of death. In a letter written
from the prison where he waa confined
for robbery, he asserted thst Cuoccolo
had betrayed him to the police because
he bad given a share of the booty of
his crime to another than Cuoccolo. He
called on his brother Camorrlsts to
avenge him.
It Is asserted that according to the
rules of the Camorra a ring was taken
from the band of the murdered man to
be sent to tvalvl In proof of the fact
that his wish for vengeance bad been
observed.
Carabineers claimed to have found
thla ring In the mattress of a bed at
the borne of a woman. known aa the
companion of Salvl. Salvl protested
the ring was placed In the bed by the
rarabtneera for tha purpose of manu
facturing evidence.
Sight of Ring Causes X'proar.
As the cross-examination progressed
today. President TBIanrhl suddenly pro
duced the ring. and. holding it ao It
could be seen by all In the court, said:
"This Is the ring found In tha horns
of your woman associate.
The statement called forth a chorus
f protests from tha prisoners, who
shouted:
"No! no! It Is not Cuoccolo's ring!
It Is not his'
The cries grew louder snd were taken
up by sympathisers In the audience.
Then Llguorl. a lawyer, president of
the board of attorneys of Naples, who
.la defending the Informer Gennaro Ab
batemagglo. pushed his way to the
spare la front of the steel rage, and
staring Into the eyes of the accused
men. exclaimed:
"Yes, that Is Cuoccolo's ring."
This Interruption brought the scores
of lawyers for tho defense Into the fray
and as the exeratlona of the prisoners
grew louder, threw the whole court
room Into an uproar. In the babel of
tongues one could distinguish these of
!he repeated exclamations:
Tool of Carbineers, Is Cry.
"Who paya you the prtca of Abbate
niiclo'i shame r
"You are paid from the secret funds
of tlie government!
"You were sent here under orders
from the Carabineers!" r
This attack was encouraged by the
prisoners, who applauded as they ex
claimed: "Bravo! Fravo!"
For a moment Giovanni Rapl. the al
leged treasurer of the Camorra. and
known e the proprietor of gambling
places In Naples. Home and Parts, held
the center of the staae. when he
pressed Ms face against tbe bars of
the rage and cried:
Ve are Innocent, we have been be
trayed, we have been sold like lambs
to the slaughter.
At this point Alfano. the alleged
actual head of the Camorra. cried dra
matically: "1 call from tha world the soul of
my poor brother. Clro. who died In
prison, to wltcess that we are flesh
and blm-d sold by the Carbineers to the
Inquiring Judges, who lent themselves
In this Infamous market.
Paroxism t'nds In Tear.
By this time both prisoners Snd law.
yen were pretty well exhausted, and
suddenly the accused men. a. with one
accord, burst Into tears. The priest,
Clro Vltonl. looked as If be had been
stricken with apoplexy. The wife of
Mariano de Gennaro. one of the alleged
actual aasln. fell to the floor In
convulsions. The savage Invectives
were continued tor is minutes, when
tho president, unable to restore order,
announced a temporary adjournment.
When the sitting was resumed An
tonio Cerrato was called for examina
tion. II Is charged with being ona of
the sis who executed the sentence of
death npvn the Cuoccolos. Cerrato
earnestly protested his Innocence.
Marlanno de Gennarlo. who also Is
accused of the actual murder of
Cuoccolo. took tho wHness stand. He
said he was the victim of Jealousy on
the part of Abbateraagglo. on account
of women. He denied participation In
the murder.
Several parties of English tourists
and Americans arrived here today from
Home to hear the trial.

Meat Packers Must Face Trial
for Forming Trust.
ONLY PAST DEEDS .IMMUNE
Conspiracy Continuing; After Pack
era Testified' Is Still Subject for
ProsecutionNo License Given
to Commit Crime.
CHICAGO. March IJ. Judge Carpen
ter In the United Statea District Court.
In refusing today to quash indictments
against 19 Chicago packers, placed a
limit on the freedom from liability
granted the packers In the "Immunity
bath; given by Judge Humphrey In
10" He also ruled that the "immu
nity bath" did not prohibit the facts
and evidence on which it wss granted
being used as evidence to establish
proof of a conspiracy existing since
the Immunity was given.
Tho ruling, in the form of an Inter
locutory decree, from which there Is
no appeal, means that the packers will
have to go to trial on Indictments
charging them with conspiracy to vio
late the Sherman anti-trust law. There
are three Indictments. In the" first of
which are five counts. The defend
ants can be fined iiooo or imprisoned
for one year on each of tha seven
counts.
Immunity Not Indefinite.
Judge Carpenter In his 'decision held
that Judge Humphrey could not grant
the packers Immunity to continue In
definitely In an unlawful undertaking,
and that the Immunity did not apply to
acts committed after ISO, as a result
of th conspiracy.
Tha evidence given to Judge Hum
phrey could not relate to facta that
had not taken place at that time, and
the court ruled that, while ths bath
purged the acts of their criminality,
the physical existence of the facta
could not be obliterated and that there
waa no legal reason why evidence of
the facts could not be used to estab
lish conspiracy alleged to have been
In operation aubsequent to tha bath.
"The continued operation of th" un
lawful combination, notwithstanding
the former conviction, la In Itself a new
violation of law." he said. "Immunity
does not mean license: If It did. to con
fess one's crime la to give perpetual
permission to violate law."
After ths ruling attorneys for tha
Government filed a demurrer and the
pleas In abatement were dismissed.
Monday th Government will ask for
an Immediate trial.
Parkers Who Will Be Tried.
The Indicted .packers are: Louis P.

Gorman Takes Drastic Action to
End Tangle in Cincinnati "Law-
jers Try Sew Delay.
CINCINNATI. March 12. By one
stroke J-udge Gorman today cut the
"Gordlan knot" that has prevented pro
gress in the trial of George B. Cox. tha

perjury. After Judge Gorman's blow
had fallen, however. It waa not certain
that the case would not become tangled

to make any entry of his finding of
Monday that he had no jurisdiction
over th Cox affidavit accusing Judge
Gorman of bias and prejudice. Judge
Gorman said:
"I have authority to cut this Gor
dlan knot somewhere, and I propose to
do it her and now by striking George
R Cox's affidavit charging me with
bias and prejudice from the flies of
this court.
Cox's attorneys, despite their pro
tests, were called on to begin their
arguments on the motion to quash th
perjury Indictment.
No sooner were these fairly launched
than Lawrenc ' Maxwell, ex - Solic
itor-General of the United States and
tne latest addition to Cox's staff of at
torneys, left for the Circuit Court In an
effort to get an Immediate order to
halt tha proceedings before Judge Gor
man. Judge Gorman took steps to hasten the

Mrs. Peterson ws excoriated In court
by Judg'o Shortall, who said:
"I had no Idea that the circum

as they have been shown to be. There
appears to have been worked out a
deliberate plan of fraud. I think the
woman Is a dangerous criminal."
These remarks were made by the
oourt after her attorney. Porter Ashe,
stated that he would offer no defense
for his client now. but would reserve
his argument for the higher court when
the case comes to trial.

prohibitive. The court replied to this
by stating that It was only In keeping

Crushed In a snowellde which wrecked
his cabin In the Cascade Mountains. 100
miles east of Bellingham. last January,
with a leg broken and his chest smashed,
Lou Haggenbush, a trapper, was carried
and dragged 33 miles to the cabin of a
hermit negro on Ruby Creek, where the
Injured man has partially recovered, and
he Vs now being brought to Marble
mount, on the Skagit River.
Word of the fearful experience of the
trapper has been brought out by a fqr
efter, who reported to the local, forestry
office today. Five days were spent by
George Henderson and Sam Winter in
getting the Injured trapper from the
scene of the slide to the negro's cabin.
During that time they had little food
and no protection from snow and cold
but blankets. In addition, they were
compelled to fight off repeated attacks
of wolves that trailed them for th whole
distance. '
The men reached the cabin exhausted,
and after more than two months are
bringing the Injured trapper out to civi
lization and to eurglcal treatment The
rude surgery of the hermit must be fol
lowed by rebreaking the knitted bones to
keep -the man from being a permanent
cripple.
