DESPERATE ITALIAN HANGED
Man Sentenced for Fourth Time Exc
cuted After Many Attempts
to Escape.


NEWARK, n. j., March 22.-Guisseppe
Marmo. an Italian. was hanged here today
for the murder of his brother-in-law,
Nuozio Marnana. The murder followed
violent quarrel between the two men. The
struggle which Marmo had made to save
himself from the gallows since he killed
his brother-in-law and dangerously wounded
his sister nearly two years ago was a most
remarkable one. Not only did he exhaust
all the methods known to law but ON at
least two occasions he made sensational
attempts to escape from confinement One
of these attempts was made in the court
room after he had been sentenced to death
for the third time. After denouncing the
judge and the jury which tried him, declar-
ing that he had not been treated fairly, and
that many of his countrymen who had COM
mitted murder I'm this country had escaped
the gallows, he suddenly drew an iron bar
from the leg of his trousers and made a
break for freedom. He was overpowered
after one court officer had been severely
injured. Ten minutes later, while being
removed to the jail he made another break
and was overpowcred only after another
officer had been severely hurt. Since that
time he has constantly been guarded and
has been allowed only a mattress in his
cell Even after that he succeeded In
getting another rcprieve, but was unsuc-
cessful in getting the verdict set aside. He
was sentenced TO death for the fourth time
on rhe third day OF this month. A last
effort to save the condemned man was made
when his counsel applied to the United
States supreme court for a writ OF habeas
corpus. The application was denied by the
court yesterday In all of his efforts to
gain his freedom by means OF the law.
Marmo had the support. both moral and
financial Of large number of the Italian
residents of the community in which he had
lived
