FIFTEEN YEARS IN PRISON

George Canzoneri, a Sicilian, who has
just been released after fifteen years
in prison, to which he was condemned
for life, was the victim of false witnesses.
one of whom swore to having seen him
murder his (the witness wife.) His in
nocence has now been brought to light.
His account of what he felt when con-
demned and in the galleys is interesting.
He says:
could not understand how these
twelve gentlemen (the jury We're not
persuaded that L was innocent. 1t
seemed to me that they ought to hear 1t
in the tone of my voice, see it in my
face and read it in my heart. 1t was
nearly night when the sentence was pro-
nounced. / could not hear; could not
stand on my feet; and those who Were
most kind to me ON that terrible even
ing We're two carabineers, who held me
under the arms and led me to the prts-
on van. 1 could not sleep that night Che
was then only 2S years Of age). thought
of my mother and father who could not
believe me guilty; thought of another
person loved by me who could not be so
indulgent as my poor old parents. and
my heart bled at the thought that she
might believe me an assassin. III
could have cut my veins or strangled
myself I should have done it. And my
mind worked in vain in trying to piece
the horrible mystery of my misfortune.
l did not know that COllura was h1mSelf
the assassin; l did not know of the plot
of the rural guards against me, and
therefore 1 was not sure on whom l.
should cast my maledictions. l was
quite in the dark. Whom was to hate?
There were moments when l asked my
self whether l had not really committed
the crime for which 1 was condemned.
and then forgotten it by some sudden
defect of memory.
Describing part of the journey to the
penal settlement at Alghero, Sanzoneri
says:
AS passed through these places (be-
tween Sassari and Alghero) unknown to
me, l looked at the trees, the houses,
while the tears swelled my throat, and
now and then broke out into sobs, for 1
reflected that L was being taken to be
buried alive. -. Nevertheless,
little by little I became accustomed to
everything. / got used to my chain, to
being alone, to being absolutely without
hope. Only two pieces of news reached
me from the outside world-the news
of the death of my father and then of
the death of my mother. The first time
I cried, the second time 7 only sohbed-.
I had no more tears to shed. l bowed my
head and said, I'VE have each his des-
tiny, and this is mine.''
CanZoneri in prison has grown bald,
has lost his health and his teeth, he is
poor, his heart is broken, and yet, as his
interviewer found, he has Mharity even
for his accusers, and for the false wit
nesses who, out of fear for others, sent
him to the galleys.-Naples correspon-

made of steel jaws. with heavy spring

bevy of high school girls was in car
yesterday, when one of them looked out
and spied a red flag on tree before a
residence. She called the attention OF
the other girls to the flag:
Oh, look, she said. What on earth does
that mean9
The girls looked and began to rumin-
ate.
Let's see. Isn't red flag for diph-
iberia? said the one with glasses.
No; scarlet fever, said another.
Why, I'm quite sure it's smallpox, said
the third.
My! How dreadful! And we came
right past there, murmured two of the
girls.
If it was black flag I'd know it meant
yellow fever, but all I know about red
flags is that they mean danger.
And white flag means clear, fair
weather, put in one, anxious to show her
knowledge.
It might have gone on the rest of the
way, had not passenger told the girls
red flag meant an auction. Then they
al said:
