ITALIANS COME TO AID
OF ACCUSED COUNTRYMAN
Funds Raised to Assist Giu-
Seppe Pia to Make Defense

Asserting that they only wished to
see justice done and their countryman
given fair trial. number of promi-
nent local Italians gathered in Carl
baldi hall last night and raised money
TO aid in the defense of Giussepe Pia..
if the latter is granted new trial.
Pia was convicted by jury recently
in san Rafael of a criminal assault
upon Miss Elizabeth Grapes.
Speakers at last nights meeting de-
clared Pia had not been fairly tried.
They charge that District Attorney
Boyd and Sheriff Taylor wronged Pia
in their handling of the case; Boyd by
attacking the veracity OF 10 italian
witnesses and all Italians in general,
and Taylor in bringing Pia alone be-
fore Miss Grapes for Identification.
IF Pia is guilty said Z. j. Brasco
last night then let him be given the
maximum penalty 1t was a, brutal
crime and the perpetrator should be
punished TO the fullest extent of the
law. ! do not say Pia is innocent nor
do I condemn him as guilty. All |
and most of us here want is to see
him tried fairly with capable counsel
defending him.
Toward the end of the meeting sew
eral members of the assemblage in
sisted upon spea king on subjects not
dealing with the Pia case. and were
ruled out OF order by Chairman Gag
liandro. The men. however, defed
the chair and the meeting broke UP in
disorder the lights being extinguished
and a window broken.
