latlons on High Sense Of Duty.
Journalist LIoy Defends Position as
His RIght.-contsntlons.

Viterbo, Italy. July 26-The strik-
ing attorneys for the defence return
ed to court today and the trial of the
Camorrists was resumed at a point
where 1t had been interrupted when
the lawyers offended at the attack
made upon Lawyer Lioy by Captain
Fabroni. the Crown witness. withdrew
in rage last week.
Speaking for his colleagues Attor-
ney Vechini urged all concerned to
desist from the attempt to broaden
the trial into political problem. say
ing that the proceedings should be
confined within the limits of ordinary
criminal cases.
Public Prosecutor Santoro congrat-
ulated the lawyers on the high sense
of duty which had impelled them to
return to court. However. he added
that he wished to remark that the
position of Lioy among the defence
was hard to bear. as for four years in
the capacity of a journalist he mad
assailed Fahroni with insults. Counsel
for De Angels and Amado, who are
asserted by the Cammorists persons
TO have been the assassins of Gen
naro Cuocculo expressed a similar
opinion of Licy. The latter defended
his work as a journalist. saying that
he was not in favor of the Camorra,
but he was in favor of innocence.
Therefore journalism was the instru-
ment which he had used as lawyer
to attain his object.

by foreign pessimism.
The officials of the foreign office talk

Great Britain has not interposed in

committee asked the witness Just two
questions. One was whether the editor
believed the story of state Rep. White

the Illinois Legislature was first print

The other question was directed at
what Mr.. Keeley had in mind when he
