A SWISS BRIGAND.—The trial of a Swiss brigand I
has ,just taken place at Bellinzona, one Cosnantino Gian-
notti, of Airolo, at the foot of Moun: St. Gotbard, who
after having led for several years a wandering and
marauding life, sometimes on the Swiss and at others
on the Italian side of the frontier, escaping re-
peatedly from the prisons of both countries, had become
a desperate hcimatloar, and • terror to the peaceable inha-
bitants of the Valle del Ticino. The jury found the pri-
soner guilty of highway robbery and murder; and the
judges passed sentence of death upon Giannotti, who
thanked them with stoical indifference, and was with
great difficult' prevailed upon by his advocate to
allow a petition to be forwarded in his name to
the grand council of the canton imploring a remission
of the carnal punishment. It may be, indeed, called
capital, for it literally decapitation, and a special field
of blood is destined to the purpose on the banks of the
river near the Ponte del Ticino. Such spectacles are, how-
ever, quite traditional at Bellinzons, for the
dentl in-
habitant hardly recollects anything of the kin and
if the sentence were to be earned out, an execu-
tioner would have to be procured from Berne.
The Bernese headsman still wields, on such occasions, a
long doable-handed sword—very likely one of those that
hewed down the Austrians at Mont or &reps& 400 years
ago. The criminal site upright bound to a wooden &air,
and one sluhing blow fulfils the behests of justice as
cleanly as a guillotine.
