All the- details of the crime as stated in. the indictment were hurled at Morra during his - cross-examination but , he denied every accusation, claiming inno cence of both crimes. i, Morra made a brave showing through out the long ordeal. It was plain that he had prepared his answers long ago, and he , delivered - them - in : selected If phrases calculated to make as good at) ' impression on the jury 'as' possible. He .was loVal to his band in every ' statement and assumed the role-of pro Ftector of their female slaves with dra matic effect. Some of his past offenses he unflinchingly -admitted, but he was always careful to avoid incriminating"! any of his comrades. Morra succeeded in, some degree ' in his attempt to impress the Jury -and spectators that he was Innocent ' He put forward a strong alibi, declaring that on the day of (he murder he took . part in the festival of Madonna di Mon tevergine.

Another week has passed with poli ticians still guessing whether Mayor Si mon will sail his boat In the grand mayoralty regatta next month. His con tinued reticence makes a big qeetion mark: in the troubled water, and the pilots of other craft are cautiously standing off until something happens. Last night the mayor was as stolid as ever, He said he had not made ud his mind whether or not he would be a candidate and, he had not made up his mind when he will decide. It might be a week, it might be less, it might be more. Ana he aia not even smile. While Mayor Simon says nothing, his scouts are active, and they are exceed ingly numerous, Unobtrusively, but with persevering tread, they are combing the city for information as to the mayor's chances for nomipatlon and election. Along the streets, in offices, shops, stores and saloons, the Simon question is being worked out His scouts are diplomatic fellows, and only a few of those who are sounded out are aware that they have been pumped by the may or's private wires. The scouts have been picked from different classes, including some of the little fellows, some of the bigger ones, and some from representa tives of big corporations that employ many men. ; ' - While the mayor deliberates, Council man Rushlight is out making hay. He is visiting the voters in all parts of town, shaking hands and spreading the news that he wants to be mayor. There has been some rise In the stock of City Treasurer J.

Romli March 18. The kingdom of Italy looked backward half a century today and bowed low to the statesmen and soldiers whose patriotic efforts; brought about the Turin declaration of March 17, 1861, when united Italy came Into being and Victor Emmanuel was designated as the ruler of the new kingdom. It is the semi-centennial an niversary of this event that Italy is preparing to celebrate this summer on a grand scale. Beginning in the early summer and continuing until the late autflmn there are to be an almost con stant succession of fetes and patriotic demonstrations from Sicily to the Alps. The features of .international interest will be the great expositions in Rome and Turin. " ' The movement which led to the uni fication of Italy had its beginning about the middle of the last century; At that time Victor Emmanuel II, a most liberal and statesmanlike monarch, oc cupied the throne of Sardinia, His great minister, Count CavouV, was an -ardent believer in Italian unification. Inspired by Garibaldi, Masslni, Cavour and other eminent and able patriots of the time, Victor Emmanuel joined France - in a successful war with Austria- for the lib eration of northern Italy, and then be gan to extend the kingdom of Sardinia. Fifty years ago today came the dec laration of Turin, when Victor Emman uel assumed the title of king of Italy. During the ensuing 10 years province after province united with the new king dom of Italy, and finally, in 1870, after a sharp struggle with tha pope, sup ported by France, Victor Emmanuel an nexed the papal states, entered Rome in triumph and from his new capital began to rule---united Italy.-- r- ' STEERS BURNED ALIVE IN CHICAGO STOCKYARDS " CPubllahHri Press Treated Wlre.
