The Case Of NarslellO.
EFFORTS OF HIS COUNSEL TO OBTAIN A RESPITE
FOR HIM.
1t has been stated that the counsel for Anto-
Mo Nardello, under sentence of death for the
murder OF Carmine Rotunno, are making efforts
for a respite and communication OF the sentence.
This morning his counsel-Mr. q. Ii. Corkhili
and Mr.. L. NJ. Fields-had talk with the Presi
dent on the subject, and left him with some
hopes of respite, at least. 1t is urged that the
circumstances of the case show that Nardelio
could not have committed the murder
alone and that when Rotunno left
his boarding house he had over 5000. Nardel-
10 does not deny having been present at the
time, but asserts that the actual blows were
inflicted by others. He admits that he re-
ceived $50 of the proceeds of the crime, and
the detectives have been able TO account for
nearly this amount and have an idea as To
where the remainder of the stolen money Is.
1t is urged that Nardello may be OF use in Civ
ing information as to the other parties, and
therefore il would be better to save his lie.
The detectives, however, stick TO their theory
| that the murder was the act of Nardello alone
