II the facts alleged against the prisoner be true IT
would seem that the Italian authorities are ex-
tremely inefficient IN repressing description OF

been here scarcely forty y-egnt hours pre-
Ofncer Benjamin Tassaro on Friday night, at
67 sullivan street. When the prisoner was brought
before Commissioner White warrant for his
commitment was made out, the Commissioner
informing him that II he was not able to pay for
ega. assistance he would assign counsel TO defend
him, ana that he should be allowed facility for
communication with his TRENDS lor the purpose OF
conducting his defence.
II seems that the young men, at the moment OF
their capture, were employed on farm irrigating
