LITTLE ITALY
IN COURT HOUSE.

There is an italian Colony at the
Court House during the trial of Frank
Labori, for the murder of Salvatore
Jorden. The whole scene is one of
spagetti and garlic. Not less than
fifty Italians came down here yesterday
from Philadelphia They presented
an interesting picture. The women
were almost wholly without head
dress, the most of them dressed in
black, while the men were attired in
cheap, ready made clothing.
All of the Italians were interested
observers of the trial, and the very
pronounced sentiment of those present
was favorable to the prisoner The
majority of the Philadelphia visitors
are here to speak we'll of Labori and
give him reputation for peace and
quiet. Few of the crowd will have
much to do with the family of the
murdered man who are testifying for
the state that Labori killed the old
man Jorden in cold blood and without
provocation.
At the noon recess of the Court yes
terday a novel scene was presented at
the Court House. Practically all of
the thrifty Italians brought with them
their lunch. They had it in bags and
boxes and after the Court officials had
left the auditorium, the Italians took
possession of the tables and spread out
their lunch, and ate with greatest
relish the brown bread, onions and
other dainties.

the capture and arrest Of Frank Labori
at Millville on Sunday night, June
18th, while on the lookout for him.
The capture was made about o'clock
on the morning of the 18th of June.
The State rested.
The defence was opened by Mr.. Van.
naman. The defence was self defence.
Mr.. Vannaman said they would show
that, on the Sunday evening of the
affray Frank Labori, while at the new
house of Mr.. Brown, was called out in
the road by Joe Tribbett, and was then
attacked and set upon by Frank and
Peter Jorden and their father, Saliva
tore Jorden.
The shooting by Labori and killing
of Salvatore was admitted.
Frank Labori was called to the wit
ness stand in his own Defence Mr..
Florentini interpreting for him.
He said he was picking strawberries
for Salvatore Jorden on June IA, and
for 12 days previously. Denied having
had any trouble with Jorden on account
of picking berries, or for the pay.
Went to Jorden that Sunday morning
to see if the berries were ready to pick
on Monday. Later in the day Peter
and Frank Jorden came over to his
house and invited him to their house
to have something to drink. Saliva
tore Jorden had first asked him, but
he did not accept the invitation. but
was at Salvatore's about five minutes
after dinner when he went over to
Frank Serati's with his wife and chill
dren.
Did not always carry revolver,
but carried a revolver with him over
to Frank Serati's, because it was
lonesome place through which he had
to-pass. After he--returned..home ats
O'Clock he went to the home of Joseph
Longetoti, and then to the shanty of
James Brown. Had his pistol still
with him, having forgotten to take it
from his pocket when at home.
Didn't see any of the Jordens at
Longetoti's. Joe Tribbett came along,
together with Salvatore Jorden, his
two sons and several others. Joe
called him out to go to Jorden's but
he declined because it was getting
late, he did go out in the road and
then Joe Tribbett asked him why he
did not 60 to Jorden's and drink
with them. He said because he had
some other business to attend to. A
quarrel soon followed and Peter Jorden
sprang at him and knocked him down
and fell upon him. Salvatore, he said,
hit at him with his club but he stepped
back out of the way.
He said he shot Salvatore because
they were trying to get the best of
him; they were all feeling pretty good
from drinking. Mrs. Salvatore did not
get between him and her husband un-
til after he had fred the shot. He was
running from Salvatore when he shot
at him. If he had not run they would
have killed him. After shooting Sal
yatore he became frightened so he ran
away to escape.
Joseph Longetoti declared he heard
Peter Jorden say, to Frank Labori,
"You have to die by our hands to.
night. He also saw Salvatore Jor-
den strike at Labori with big stick.
Salvatore Spinelle gave testimony
favorable to Labori's defence.

MURDER JURY is
CHARGED TO DAY.

All yesterday was spent in hearing
the testimony in the Italian murder
case, Supreme Court Justice Trenchard
and County Judge R. P. Tuller being
on the bench.
The continuation of the States case
was continued as soon as the afternoon
session convened.
Joe Tribbett (Tibetti is his italian
name) was called and told his story
through the Court interpreter, Maurice
Florentini.
Tribbett said he and Frank Labori
and Frank Jorden were all going up
the road together. Salvatore was away
behind, but was in sight on the road
The two Jorden brothers got in a
scrap, Peter hitting Frank in the face.
Labori tried to make peace between
the brothers and Peter caught Labori
and threw him upon the ground.
Frank separated them, after Mrs.
Labori hit Peter Jorden with small
stick. He said he did not see Salvatore
come up.
This witness is the father. in. law of
Frank Jorden.
He said after he had stepped between
Frank Labori and Peter Jorden when
Frank pointed his revolver at Peter,
Peter went off backward to the Brown
house. He did not see Salvatore. He
admitted all had been drinking beer,
but he was separated during the row
and did not see Labori afterward.
James Brown testified that he heard
the people wrangling and quarreling
in the road near his place-some Is
rods away. The men were standing
Salvatore seemed to be standing still.
In minute pistol shot was fired.
The crowd was SO thick he could not
see to distinguish any one but Peter
Jorden until he saw Frank Labori
emerge from the crowd and go off dia-
gonally across the fields.
Harry Moore, of Dividing Creek re-
membered the Sunday of the shooting
he had been to Cedarville that day,
and on returning home he saw crowd
of people at Browns house, in the
road. 1t was then about quarter to
seven o'clock. He saw two persons
holding Peter Jorden, and he saw
Frank Labori pick up piece of scant-
ling and throw it at Salvatore Jorden.
Salvatore started towards Frank Labori
with club, or stout cane, over his
shoulder. Labori ran and turning,
pulled out his reIolYer and shot Saliva
tore.
Moore said that Salvatore had his
club over his shoulder, and was run
ming after Labmi, club raised as if
ready to strike when Labori shot him.
The stick which LAbori had thrown at
Salvatore was. about about six feet
long.
Mrs. Mary Jorden was sworn and
testified through the interpreter Mrs.
Salvatore, duiing her cross -examina-
Y tion, said she stood between her hus-
y band and Frank Labori. when the
latter shot her husband; the bullet,
n she said, went over her shoulder when
Y he fired the shot. The blood from her
N husband flew upon her.
q DR.. Bradford was called and ex-
planned the character of the gunshot
n wound, which he said was in the neck,

/ gether Sunday evening at Jim Browns
shanty at the time Joe Tribbett called
Labori out to the road. Didn't see
who knocked Labori down, but saw
him on the ground.
Nicolata Caselle, wife of the last
witness, gave testimony similar to her
husbands
Angela Maria Labori wife of Frank
Labori, said he was picking berries at
Salvatore Jorden's, living in his
shanty. On that Sunday they went
over to Frank Serati's, taking their six
children; staid there from II a. m.
until 5 p. m. When her husband was
called out by Joe Tribbett to the road,
and he was knocked down, she went
out to him. Peter, Frank and Saliva
tore Jorden all jumped upon him.
They were then in the field near the
road Salvatore had stick a piece
OF frame stuff, and was running after
her husband with it, after he was got
up off the ground. Frank called to
Salvatore to stop and Salvatore said,
'I'n stop when have your head split
open, she declared
During the examination of all the
witnesses Mr.. Louis N. Bernadino, of
Philadelphia, by permission of the
Court, sat with the defendant and his
counsel, as an advising interpreter.
Joseph Sutton, James Brown and
Herbert Tice were called and ques-
toned as to the reputation of Frank
Jorden. The defence rested.
Herbert Tice, DR.. Bradford and
Harry Moore were recalled by the
State and in some rebuttal, and the
State rested
Court adjourned until 9.15 this
morning.
Wednesday Morning.
Immediately after the opening of
the Count this morning Prosecutor
Fithian began his summing up in the
Labori homicide case
The Prosecutor plainly told the jury
that the State had not produced evil
dence to prove that the killing was
premeditated, malicious and with MUIR
derous intent. The State would there
fore not contend for verdict of mur.
der in the first degree. What the State
did demand was verdict of murder in
the second degree. The evidence
showed conclusively, the Prosecutor
claimed, that the shooting of Salvatore
Jorden was not necessarily in self de-
fence. and could not be justifable.
Leroy W. Loder followed the Prose-
cutor. Mr.. Loder reviewed the evil
dence and contended for an acquittal
on the grounds that Labori had been
attacked by the three Jordens-the
father who was killed, and the two
sons, Peter and Frank Jorden. He
contendad that the crime was not above
manslaughter at the most, and it was
not murder in the second degree
Prosecutor Fithian closed the sum
ming up with strong argument for
verdict of murder in the second de-
gree.
Judge Trenchard gave a clear and
explicit charge to the jury, laying
down the law covering the case, eau
tioning them to consider all the evil
dence, and not especially that portion
of the evidence to which he may partic-
ularly direct their attention. If the
jury believes, beyond a reasonable
doubt, that the prisoner is guilty of
the highest charge in the Indictment
