TERRANOYA
GIRLS TRIAL
Alienist Expert Burned Girl
With Matches.
WITNESS HELPS ACCUSED
Said That SiCiIian Girl Cannot Dis.
tinsuish Between Right and
Wrong.

NEW YORK, May 25-The defense
in the trial of Josephine TerMnoya,
who killed Gaetlna and COncetta Rig
gio, her uncle and aunt, at their home
in Willlamsbridge on the night Of
Washlngton's birthday, has rested their
case with the close of the alienist wit
nesses testimony for the prisoner,
The trial was delayed by the appear
ance before Justice Scott of Donlinick
Micheli, self confessed murderer, for
sentence He put in a plea of ire
sponslblity due to intoXication. jus
tice Scott refused to give weight TO
the plea and sentenced Michelll TO
twenty years In the penitentlary.
Mr.. Palmier then put ON the stand
an expert called 10y the defense, Dr.
Graeme NJ Hammond, author of a
number of works on insanity.
Dr Hammond testified that In max
ing Il physical examination OF Jose
phlne Terranova he had applied light
ed match TO her flesh She had not
hnched and declared that she could
not feel pain. This and other tests
revealed a state of hemlanaesthesia-
that is. lnsensibility to sensation on
one side of the body
81 would pronounce her sufferer
from adolescent insanity said the
doctor
He described adolescent insanity as
that type of mania often attacking
young people and agreed with two eX-
perts called previously that the out
RACES inflicted Oh the girl ut the age
of twelve contributed largely TO the
overthrow Of her reason.
Replying to hypothetical question
which occupied fortyhye minutes in
the reading, DR. Hammond said;
she was mentally msound. She
knew the nature but not the quality Of
the act of II nder. Shs vas afflicted
by Authorizations and deluslons"
After consulting with District Ntor-
ney Jerome who was present. Mr.. Ely
called Assistant District Attorney car
dozo. who told of the statements made
to him 10y the prisoner ut the time of
her arrest.
"She confessed TO killing her uncle
and aunt" said Mr. CardOza. "and
when asked her why she had done il
she said it was because her uncle had
dishonorcd her and because she had
lost her husband and her home. She
said nothing whatever about having
/ killed them in obedience TO the voice
of God"
On cross examination Mr.. Palmlerl
made an effort TO show that Mr.. Car
dozo In recording the aftidayits Of the
relatives of Josephine had suppressed
answers which would not aid the prose
cution.
Mr.. Ely then offered in evidence a
deposition signed by the husband OF
Josephine Terranova, in which he said
that Josephine had agreed on an an
nulment of her marriage, but that hel
brother-in-law. Pletro Giovanni had
demanded $500 Of Terranoya before
consentlng to the annulment, which
demand he had refused. Mr. Ely char
acterlzed the statement as boom
erang."
81 do not believe Josephine Terra
nova can distinguish between right
and wrong in her action" said DIR
Frank Mcclure, the TOmbs physician
called by the prosecution, thus sustain
ing the defense in the Terranova case.
He did not agree with those who cal
her Insane, but his admission on The
main point was a hard blow for Mr.
Ely.

GRUESOME FIND.
1t Fargo Proves to Be Body Of Man
Taken From the River,

The body which was reported to
have been seen in the river about six
miles north of Fargo Saturday, was
recovered by Sheriff Hunts deputies
and Undertaken Dougherty Sunday
afternoon and brought to Fargo. 1t
was the body of man instead of q
woman as reported Saturday.
Efforts to recover the body Satur-
day afternoon were unavailing and
a second attempted was made Sun
day afternoon. The body was found
lying face downward in the river oppo-
site the Probstfield farm. From the
shore it looked very much like the
body of woman.
The body had apparently been in
the river for about two weeks and
was badly decOmpOsed. A careful ex-
animation of the remains was made
by Mr.. Dougherty but no clue was
found in the identity of the man.
There was not single article in the
pockets except a blue cotton hand
kerchief. The body was dressed In q
black Saline shirt. blue overalls. and
heavy working shoes. Not a single
mark or cut was apparent to indicate
that there had been case of foul
play. Far away from his home and
friends. penniless and discouraged, the
man had probably jumped into the
river and thus deliberately put an
end to an unsuccessful career. This
is the theory which is generally favor
ed. The general appearance of the
body, the two weeks growth Of beard
and the general appearance of the
clothes tend to bear out this theory.

PLANS.
TO ROYALTY
ENTERTAIN
Republican State Convention
to be a Big
Event.

jamestown, N. D.. June 20.-The re-
publicans of this state may assure
themselves of welcome SO royal in
quality and treatment so hospitable
and cordial that there will never be
any regrets that jamestown was Sc
lected as the seat of republican
state convention which is SO likely to
prove one of historic Importance in
the annals Of the G. o. P. of North
Dakota. The appreciation felt by the
good people of this city, for the honor
of entertaining this convention cannot
be expressed in mere words The work
of arranging affairs for the big gath
ering is being done under a system
that will assure the most insignificant
detail being attended to.
There are ample accommodations of
every kind, but as for all occasions
of this character the man who wants
the best and. as exclusive as he can
get them will make reservations early
for the event of July IL. This Is es-
sential sometimes in metropolitan
centers. The two leading hotels are in
