The man who leads these dupes NAV

this class. He would not receive all
his money from the men.
Gentlemen of the jury: I am
about to close. Do not be swerved
from your duty by sympathy or
pictured words of punishments
Take the facts. Follow Vannucci
and DeLucca from Wooddale all
through to the denial of Vannucci
that he did not know these Italians.
Give to this community the assur-
ance That no VACATIONS of the nat
uralization law shall be tolerated
when the proof is clear
At the close Of Mr.. Byrne's adj
dress to the court he drew the atten
ton of the counsel to the indict-
ment. The question is not wheth-
er the facts show an offence was
committed but whether this in
'dictment charges any offence against
1.-THE law Of the United States. There.
fore it is only fair before charging
the jury to bring the matter to the
attention Of the counsel. The OK
press language of the statute is to
conspre to commit an offence
against the United States. The
indictment charges a cons piracy
, lnder SEXTON 5425 which charges
every person who obtains accepts,
u receives certificate of any citi-
zenship known to have been pro-
cured by false statement.
This Indictment sets forth that
the defendants on January II, did
conspire and agree together to
commit an offence against the
Cnitel States. The indictment
was not that the defendants but
four other Italians dill accept and
receive by false statements made
to procure the certificates of natur-
alization.
The offence was that Of these four
men FOR the essential elements do not

four men,
The indictment must set forth the
offence and averments OF offence

Section J+21 of the United States
statutes SAYS that anv person who
aids or ubets in the commission Of
any offences who counscls or advises
or procures fraudulent naturalization
papers. He could not see how these
defendants could be found guilty I'M
der this in1lctu ent under section
5427 The very essence OF the indiCt-
ment is that they caused the com.

very unusual course TO pursue. He
never heard Of such a course before.

MIR. Whitcman said these matters
had been under consideration OF

Y District Attorney Byrne in the
!, United States District Court yester-
day afternoon asked the Court to
|, instruct the jury in the DeLucca
and Vannucci case on conspiracy
IA number of acts can be set forth
SAad it one be proven then verdict
iOf guilty should be found. He dwelt
on the fact that reasonable doubt
should not be whimsical fancy.
The deliberate statement of false
hood under oath is very serious
affair. Where juror would see a
man hit another in the face although
he have an excellent reputation as
Ito peace there would be no grounds
for doubt. So in such case as this
where the jury is to hear tn 9 repu-
'tation of the defendants yet they
must remember that men of repu-
tation often commit offences against
the law.
For the defence the points were
the same and Mr.. Whiteman dwelt
on the fact that careless and rash
swearing was not false swearing.
\ In his opening address District
Attorney Byrne dwelt on the sac
redness of citizenship and that the
making of Delaware Il dumping
ground for fraudulent uaturaliza-
ltions should be rebukel.
Z 1t is fact that Antonio Maio
never lived year in his life i'll Del
aware and was no moro entitled t.
a certificate of citizenship than the
unborn babe. MaiO tells you
that Vannucci told him De Lucca
was the man to get the papers.
- And here they are all in bunch
and DeLucca got them all.
One, of the great objects in the
Italians lives is to get the certificate
of naturalization. To whom would
they look for guidance but Vannuc-
, ci the man of intelligence. Then
8,we see Maio paying DeLucca s.
and there is no dispute and that
is a fact. The Government is in
,terested to know if her laws are vi,
'olated by the humble or the proud
1t is that jury that is to decide the
case and not be carried away by
eloquence, sympathy or any other
thing.
j. Frank Ball addressed the jury
on the part of Vannucci whom he
represented said Mr. Byrne had
made an able address but not on
the facts.
In order to find q verdict of guilty
you must find these two men guilty.
1t must be shown that Vannucci
counseled De Lucca in this case
Here is a man Of integrity gets
above his follow man and you see
the District Attorney because he be-
comes large and influential man
wanting to convict Vanuucci of CON
spiracy. These men swear they
never had anything to do with
Vannucci about their papers.
r. j. Harvey Whitcman concluded
his address to the jury this morn
ing. In his closing remarks he said
that the Government had failed to
make out case The crime in the
case was that these men were en-
titled to get their papers In Chester
County or Philadelphia but had
come here and secured them. The
Government should not try to tear
down the reputation Of uuspottel
young men and break up their hopes
and lives by sending them to Jail.
In his closing address to the Jury
District Attorney Byrno said that
notice is given that crowds Of men

The London market for Ameri-

lowed suit with lower prices at the
opening. Declines were general,
but, as a rule, confined to small
fractions. One of the exceptions
was Reauing, which started ! high
er, but subsequently eased off. st.
Paul was active and irregular. Bal
timore and Ohio opened slightly
higher, but soon sagged. The in

In Philadelphia, the opening was
