man. who made desperate efforts to es-
cape. carried with him forged bank notes
to the face value OF 5000. These were
concealed most ingeniously in q false sole

AS generally happens In these cases,
lawyers were sent up from Naples to de-
fend the prisoner, who. feigning mad
ness, absolutely refused to appear in
court.
His lawyers, failing to intimidate the
judge. threw down their gowns and left
the court. The presiding judge, in bid
ding them adieu. fined each of them $50
for contempt of court.
In his absence Cannavale was sentenced
to ten years Imprisonment. with per-
petual inability to hold civic Offices
The court ordered the entire period
to be spent in solitary confinement. Such
a sentence means in Italy that the pris-
oner. besides being kept strictly isolated

then never in the open air, but in an in
ner corridor A large proportion of these
prisoners go mad. commit suicide. or
otherwise succumb before the term ex-
