Inc amber beads are expensive, but
there are some very clever limitations

more evidence of cheapness than the
beads.

Have It in Evidence Nor
AFFIDAVIT Either.

Goetano Chrisano was acquitted
in Magistrate Gordon's court Thurs
day evening OF the charge of MUIR
dering Rocco Di Pascolo, whose body
was found covered up in car OF
coal at the Short Line coal mining
plant at Dola several months ago.
The evidence was insufficient to
connect the defendant with the MUIR
der.
The chief evidence offered by the
prosecuting witness. who is for
eigner employed at the Dola mines,
was an affidavit made by a country
man in Italy, In which he stated that
he had heard read a letter. written
by Chrisano to friend in Italy In
which the writer stated that he had
gotten rid OF Di Pasco1o. The letter
alleged to have been written by
Chrisano was not in evidence, nor
was the affidavit by the man who
was said to have received it.
oiAtecA WitHesseS were eNdlnlNeu
by the magistrate but their testi-
mony was not of a nature that corr
nected the defendant in any way with
the crime he was accused of. The
last the foreigners saw of Di Pas
colo was several days before his body
was found in the car and that was
when he left the mining settlement
and went over hill towards the
coal mine property.
At the conclusion of the hearing
the magistrate concluded that the
evidence was insufficient. to sustain
the accusation and the warrant was
dismissed and the prisoner dis
charged.
