"What a hollow mockery this
case has been. Is il worth the
candle?' Is il worth the cost to
give justice to this detected piece
of humanity? i don't care wheth-
er you find him guilty or not
guilty"
With this strange statement
Deputy Prosecutor Nolte threw
the case of Joe Rossi, accused of
trying to kill Della OLIVIA, Into the
jury's hands today.
The question of Rossi's sanity
will largely determine the verdict.
He has had two attacks of appar-
ent insanity. In his charge Judge
Chapman told the jurors to ask
themselves four questions:
Did he commit the crime?
2--If so, was he insane then?
3-If he was insane then, is he
sane now?
4-Is he likely to be insane
again?

devoting much time and work to the
perfection Of his organization. A few
months later the new field suddenly
opened wider before him. An era OF

Now. the Steel City was ruled by
what vas popularity and appropriately
denominnted the hog combine"
group Of gentlemen headed and herd
ed by Steele and Harmon. voluntarily
associated to relieve the public Of the
burden Of government
While Steele, a born political strate-
gist and a man Of magnetic PERSONAL

smooth sailing. But the combine"
fell upon hard times. Steele died, and
the leadership devOlYed upon Harmon
Harmon possessed none Of the per
sonaI magnetism that had made
Steele's critics love the man while
they hated his misdeeds; also be lack

dead leader. So the machine was al
lowed to fall into excuses that Steele
never would have permitted. The
TenderlOin ran openly and fagrantly.

Of the city fathers came to light. Ger
