vulsions.
The scene was enacted soon after

ing session yesterday because of the Ill.
ness of a juror. AT that time Giuseppe
Salvi, one of those alleged to have
stabbed to death Gennaro Cuoccolo
and his wife, was being interrogated
by President tBianchi concerning his
career.
This morning Salvi was called for
cross-examination. 1t is charged that
he is the man who furnished the final
evidence of Cuoccolo's treachery to the
Camorra and so brought about his sen
tence of death. In letter written from
the prison where he was confined for
robbery, he asserted that Cuoccolo had
betrayed him to the police because he
had given q share of the booty of his
crime to another than Cuoccolo. He
called upon his brother Camorrists 20
avenge him.
1t Is asserted that according to the
rules Of the Camorra, a ring was taken
from the hand of the murdered man to
be sent to Salvi in proof of the fact
that his wish for vengeance had been
observed.
Carabineers claimed to have found
I this ring in the mattress of a bed at
the home II a woman known as the
companion of Salvi Salvi protested
that the ring was placed in the bed by
the carabineers for the purpose Of man

AS the cross-examination progressed,
Bianchi suddenly produced the ring
and holding it so that it could be seen
by all in the court room, said:
"This is the ring found in the home
OF your woman associate"
Stormy Scene In Court.
The statement called for a protes-
taticn from the prisoner who shouted,
"No, sir that is not Cnoccolos ring"
The cries grew louder and were
taken up by sympathizers in the audi
ence. Then Lawyer Ligouri, president
OF the board Of attorneys of Naples.
who is defending the informer Cen
naro Abbatemaggio, pushed his way to
the space in front of the great steel
cage, and, staring into the eyes Of the
accused men. exclaimed:
Eyes, that is CoccoloI ring. rs
This interruption brought the scores
of lawyers for the defense to their
feet, and as the prisoners grew more
quiet, they made verbal attack on
Liguori that set the whole court into
an uproar. In the babel of tongues
could be distinguished these exclama
tions:
"Who pays you the price of Abbate-
maggio's shame?"
"You are paid from the secret funds
of the government
"You are sent there under orders
from the carabineers.
This attack was encouraged by lne
prisoners, who applauded as they ex-
claimed
Bravo; bravo"
