LOVER ESCAPES PENALTY.
Italian Jury Excuses Prisoner Be
cause of Passion for Countess.
AL Cablegram TO The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star
MILAN January 1.-THE trial of a
young Bologna magistrate, Paternoster,
whose attempted assassination of Signor
Lapaglia, the husband of Countess
Sinevra- Bentivoglio. whose lover he was,
and which was described several months
ago, has just ended here. A Milan jury
limited it's condemnation to the period of
Imprisonment which Paternoster has al
ready undergone. as Signor Lapaglia has
since recovered.
The trial shed an altogether new and
sordid light upon an affair which has
stirred the Romagna province more deep
ly than any local scandal in high life
since the Bonmartini murder. 1t appears
that Signor Lapaglia abducted the count
eSs when she was only fifteen, and that
after their marriage he forced her to
accept a post as barmaid at fashionable
restaurant in order that che might live
on her earnings. Subsequently a bargain
was struck with the Bologna judge err
rante who made way for his colleague
PaternoSter, when he found himself too
heavily and hopelessly in debt to be
longer able to satisfy the countess ex-
pensive tastes.
The principals involved in this drama
all moved in the highest society, and, in
tocracy allowed meetings to take place
at their houses. The judge errante eX-
cused himself from attending the trial on
the ground of urgent criminal cases he
had to try. The jury considered that
under the influence of his passion for the
countess, Paternoster was not responsible
for his actions.

the construction OF buildings to be used
for penal and correctional purposes and
concerning the proper cells for such in
situations. as we'll as many details of
prison discipline and management, which
are left unnoticed in this report not be-
cause we have not formed opinions there

the questions which demand immediate
answer by a lengthy discussion of matters
which may be settled after the first
necessary steps shall have been taken.
ITO the end that the jail may be i'm
mediately relieved of the maintenance OF
prisoners in idleness and that the inmates
of the workhouse may all be employed we
recommend that an appropriation be made
at the present Congress which will en-
able the Commissioners of the District to
purchase separate tracts of land as sites
for a reformatory and a new workhouse
and for plans and specifications for the
buildings to be erected thereon.
IF this plan shall be adopted. all those
idle sentenced prisoners may be put to
work with the opening of the coming
spring. So strongly do we believe in the
necessity of immediate action that we
take the liberty of submitting herewith

SCOPE OF REPORT

eff it shall seem to you. Mr.. President.
that in some portions of our report we
have gone somewhat far afield our reason
is that the problem presented has seemed
to us to be Of such magnitude and to in
volve such far-reaching consequences
that it could not be wisely solved without
looking to the future as well as to the
present without considering the probable
growth of the city as well as its present
needs. without considering those new and
better methods of dealing with prisoners
which have been successfully adopted in
many states-wthout, In short, consider
ing the whole penal system of the Dis
trict, both as 1t is and as 1t ought to be,
and without taking note of the conditions
which produce crime and whose removal
it is possible and practicable for us to
secure.
1.-The system we are invited to propose
is a system for the District of Columbia,
the seat of the national government. The
capital of a nation, though il lie at the
level of the sea, is city set on a hill-it
cannot be hid. Whether We wish it or
not it will be observed of all observers,
and its influence will go out for good or
for evil in every direction. and possibly to
every nook and corner of the land.
I'VE wish to see a system adopted
which may become a model to all who are
seeking to improve their own institutions
and policies, and which shall be worthy to
form a part of the law of a wise and just
people.
You may remember, sir, that Plutarch
relates this anecdote of certain ambassa-
doris from Sparta. When asked whether
their proposals were offered in their own
as individuals or in the name of the state,
they replied: In the name of the state if
we succeed; If we fail in our own In
the same spirit we leave this report in
your hands.
Very respectfully.

Der 81, 1907, the parliament of Finland
voted almost unanimously for the prohi-

more than two degrees of alcohol This
was the accomplishment of a long strug

| For some years already, by means Of

CAPE TOWN, January lin their
annual reports on native affairs the
Cape magistrates are unanimous in de-
ploring the growth of the drink habit
among the natives, alike in the colony
proper and in the Transkeian territories.
They are Of opinion that to this is due
most of the existing crime.
About three-fifths of the offenses,' re-
marks one magistrate, may be directly
traced to drink" Another asserts that
the drink habit is undoubtedly fasten-
ing itself upon the natives and leading to
the gradual decentralization of the peo-
pie" Brandy flowing like water" says
a third, may turn to streams composed
of a fluid somewhat thicker than water.
Almost all of the magistrates say that
the native would be practically crime
less but for drink; that he has great
weakness for drink; that a good deal
of liquor struggled in, especially by reg
istered voters, and that total prohibition
is essential.

UNANIMOUS FOR ACQUITTAL.
italian Court Acquits Wife Muir
derer-Unwritten Law Invoked.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
MILAN, January 11.-After a trial last
ing nearly three months, the assize court
has delivered judgment in the case of Fill
ippo Cifariello, which has caused ire
mendous sensation throughout Italy. Sig
nor CifarieIlo was remarkably clever
sculptor On July 26, 1907, at Naples, he
shot and killed his American wife, an ex-
music hall artist, a beautiful and charm
ing woman, whom. with good reason, he
had suspected of infdelity. What Amer
leans call the unwritten law is frequent
Iy invoked and enforced in Italy, where
it is regarded the first duty OF a man
who has been deceived by his wife TO OBJ
tain speedy redress.
Thus 1t happened that when the jury
were asked if Cifarielo, when killing his
wife, was not in such state of mind as
to exempt him from complete RESPONSE
bility for his action. they answered
unanimously in the affirmative and Cifar-
iello was acquitted.
On hearing the verdict the people in
court gave vent to a ludicrous demon
stration of enthusiasm. Cifarielo was
rapturously cheered. in spite of the efforts
of the police to quell this exhibition of
morbid feeling. Trembling with hysteri-
cal excitement. CifariellO embraced his
counsel and wept.
