The Case of NarsIellO.

THE EFFORT To OBTAIN NEW TRIAL-AFFI-
DAvITS FILED.
Last Saturday Messrs. G. b. Corkhill and T.
NJ. Fields, the counsel for Antonio Nardello,
convicted of the murder OF Carmine Rotunno
In July last, filed motion TO set aside the order
of Judge Macarthur overruling the motion for
new trial and stated they would prepare aft
davitS and file them this week. They have
also prepared a bill of exceptions, which they
have submitted To the district attorney. On the
trial of the case outside the alleged confessions,
the testimony was circumstantial and the facts
that Nardello had on two pairs of pants and
claimed was made with his razor at the time of
the homicide were relied on as evidence of
guilt; also, the fact that after the homicide he
had considerable money.
The counsel a few days ago received an an
0nymons letter signed "A Particular Friend OF
indicating that Nardelo was innocent, and
second letter gave the names. In investigating
this case they found not only the two witnesses
named, but Others. and the result is the prepa-
ration of the aftidavits, among which are the
Annie Terry, of 337 Maryland avenue, de-
poses that she knows Nardello as Frank Ross;
that he was at Mrs Francis Pochininis' ire
quently; he bought good deal of beer; he had
money and spent il freely; he was there Tues
day, July 2Sth, and under the effects OF liquor;
pairs all the time; ne had three fingers of his
hand wrapped in a white cloth, on which there
was blood, and also saw blood on his pants near
the knee; he left about 10 o'clock.
Hattie Freeman, living at the same place,
corroborates Annie Terry. and further said she
had seen Nardello with from $40 TO $50 several
times.
