ASCrittOr6 Still
Trying to Convince
Court of Good Faith
Todsy's Sitting of Camorra Trial is as
Fruitful of Melodrama as
Previous Sessions.


N1TERBO. Italy. April n.-Today's ses-
sion Of the Camorrists' trial was occupied
throughout with the cross examination Of
Giscomo Ascrittore. at the conclusion Of
which an adjournment was taken until
after Easter.
Ascuttore denounced Tomasso De Angels
and Gaetano Amedeo as the murderers Of
Gennaro Cuoccolo and his wife. in order.
the state alleges. 20 shield the real assas
sins. For two days the prisoner has been
trying to convince the jury that he acted
I'm good faith and was not In conspiracy
with the priest Giro Vitozzi. who told the
authorities that he had learned in the con
fessIonal OF the guilt OF the two men
Today Ascrittore insisted that he still be-
lleyed De Angels and Amedeo took part in
the killing Of the CuoccolOs and he posed
as q martyr to the Vaccinations OF the
carabiueers and examining judges. He said
in substance:
During the Investigation of the murders
vas forced TO withdraw my evidence
against De Angels and Amedeo. The cara
bineers and the Judges prosecuted me for
calumny and kept me in Jail for nearly four
Years Thus they made a martyr not only
the cighty-thlrd year OF her life is crying
her eyes out"
Ascrittore's reference TO his mother drew
chorus of walls from tho prisoners pen,
while his accusations against DE Angels
and Amedeo provoked counter demonstra-
tions from the friends Of the latter The
day was quite as fruitful Of melodrama
as have been earlier sittings.

BURMESTER OUT OF RACE
Says He Does Not Want Presidency
of Council.
Pres on BUsINEss -THE REASON
This Apparently Leaves the Field
clear for JudEe BerkR, who
says IL Has Been Promised
to Him.

Louis Burmester does not want 10 be
president Of the city council and will not
accept the honor. even II he should be
selected TO succeed Cooley Brucker whose
term expires next month.
Burmester stated Tuesday morning that
he was not seeking the honor. please say
for me that ] do not want the presidency
again said Burmester. Business conneC-
tions would not permit me to give the
time 20 the office that It requires and II
is for this reason that l decline to run
for the place"
The withdrawal OF Burmester leaves
Judge Louis Berks with a clear field. un-
less some dark horse Is sprung at the
last minute. Berka contends that he was
promised the place when BruCker was
elected. other members Of the council deny
that any such promise was made to Berka
and we're grooming Burmester as the man
who could beat him.
The combination. which has been con-
trolling the city council, faced split as
Berka was said to have five OF the nine
while Burmester had lined up the other
four. With Burmester out OF the race
Berka is resting easier and the combine is
shaking hands with itself.
