given brief attention of the prosecution
OF the Italian Fagin, who for many
months have been traficing in New
York in the children of his ''countrymen.
The following is detailed account OF
the case.
At the trial of Glione, the italian
padrone, before the City Court to-day,
several Italians from New York and
other places were present The four
boys testified that they had been in
the country twenty-one months, and
had been kept in Crosby street den in
New York until they were brought to
New Haven some time ago; that they
were beaten and kicked unless they
brought in prescribed sum of money
every night. and were told by Glione to
steal if they could not earn the money !;
that they were also told by Glione that
their parents would be fined, and they
arrested by the police if they ran away
and that he had legal write TO hold
them. They all said that they would
be glad to be free if the law would give
them their freedom and protect them
from Glione. The contracts under
which the padrone claims the right to
hold the boys were translated and laid
before ths court, and it appeared that
the boys services had been sold to him
for four or Eve years at an average rate
of $50 per year, and with provision that
the parents should pay for medical
services, and should forfeit the wages
and a fine of $50 il the boys should run
away during the time of service. The
recent Italian laws upon this subject
were also laid before the Court. Signor
Secchi de Casali;editor of Ecco de Hul.a,
was one of the witnesses for the State

The statute under which Glione has
been indicted was passed 1854 for the
purpose of nuliiylng the fugitive slave
law, but was never used for that
purpose. The penalty is the State Pris
from two to FIVE years. The Court held
that Glione is guilty of imprisoning
free persons with intent to keep them
in state of servitude against their W II,
and required the prisoner to furnish
bonds for $4,000 for appearance before
the Jury in Oclober. Failing tc
furnish the bond ,Glione was committed
to the County Jail The boys will be
taken care of by the city authorities
uutil October.
The New York Times has The
following upon this subject:
In reference to the New Havel
prisoner, G. Glione, it is discovered
that he. has changed his name, for
prudential motives, from Joseph Golone
which name is the one supposed t.
belong TO the little boy Joseph, at presen
in safe keeping at Central Park. Golon'
!. alias Glione, left his residence at No.45
Crosby street, in this city, at the very
beginning of the present movement
when little Joseph ran away, bccaus
he was afraid that the. authoritie
would use the story Of the child, hi
former slave against him. In thi
action, however, it would appear he WI
safe, for although the entire story c

Golone is supposed to have fled
Boston, and, fiding poor market #

the moral courage to effect his arrest
