LAW IN ITALY MOVES SLOWLY.
Man Thirty-Eight Years in House Of
Detention Without Trial.

Two little boys in Rome were carry
ing their fathers pistol to the gun
smiths to be mended. They quarreled
and the pistol was not SO much out of
order as to keep Pietro, aged II, from
shooting Paola, aged eight.
The little fratricide was at once ar
rested, the magistrate committing him
to prison while they prepared to deal
with the case. Unfortunately for
Ptetro, the day on which he shot his
brother was September 18, 1870 On
that day Gen. Bixio began his march
toward Rome and two days later he
entered the city.
The papal magistrates had ample
excuse for forgetting Pietro, and Pie
tro was forgotten for about six months,
when the newly appointed function
aries took up his case. So deliberately
did they take it up that it was not
until 1882 that all the material for the
prosecution had been completed.
Then the abolition of the death pen.
atty in Italy caused a fresh delay.
Three specialists were appointed to
inquire into Pfetro's state of mind.
and they disagreed, causing the affair
to be shelved indefinitely. There Ia
no n now who remembers at first
hand the incidents of the crime
Pietro is 40, having spent 38 years
In the house of detention, and once
more efforts are to be made to bring
him finally to trial.

Here's Food
For Thought

If America were to be plunged
into a a to-day, upon whom, do
you suppose, would devolve the
chief command of the field forces
of the United States? Edward B.
Clark in the next issue of this
paper will tell you that President
Taft would appoint Major General
j. Franklin Bell. Clark's reasons
for his statement are embodied in
his story, complete in the next
issue, DEEDS OF j. FRANKLIN
BELL. The career of Major Gen.
eral Bell, as narrated by Mr.. Clark
is a thrilling page from American
hist Dry. Bells heroics Will never
be forgotten. They are brilliantly
told by the author. Think of
capturing a full armed Filipino
band single handed in a perfect
hail of bullets and marching them
back to- camp under cover of a
brace of pistols. That's only an
appetizer for Bells other deeds.
This story will appear hand
somely Illuminated.
