The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1911-03-27

This remarkable picture, just re-
ceived from Italy, shows the beginning
of the great criminal trial In the
large cage, guarded by soldiers, are
thirty-four prisoners, all of whom are
charged with taking active part in the
Camorra slayings. In smaller cage,
not shown in the picture, Abbatemag-
gio, one of the band, who turned in
former, is kept. The three seated fig
ures with their backs to the main cage
are, from left to right, Giro Vitozzi, the
priest who is one of the prisoners; the
wife of one of the prisoners and Capiz-
zuti, who unearthed the secrets of the
murderous society.
