Says East is Years

From a staff Correspondent. !

Governor Aldrich arrived home from
his trip to the east this morning The
executive was highly elated over his
trip and declared that Il had been we'll

The staid and dignified east is ready"
he said, for all the progressive move
ments that we have in the west. The
people back there need a leader. some
one who is capable or arousng their
dormant energies and making them come
out OF the lethargical state into which
they have fallen for years The spirit of
let the people rule is becoming more and

Attempt to Identify
Ring Exhibit in the
Cammora Case

vITERBo. Sept 23.-More experts we're
called in the Camorra trial today in the
attempt of the jury to determine whether
the finger ring alleged by the Carabineers
to have been found in the possession of
the alleged murderers of Gennaro Cuoc-
colo was Identical with that which Cuoc-
colo is known TO have worn. The defense
has asserted that the Carabineers pur-
chased a new ring to exhibit in court
with the deliberate purpose of making
evidence.
Giuseppe de Marinis. one Of the defen-
dants, who is himself an expert on jew
elry. says the ring was quite new and
that it's worn appearance was due TO
much handling in court by witnesses and
jurors.
II propose" said De Marinis, that ten
Identical rings be purchased and be
brought into court and be handled as this
ring has been handled. II this is done,
will wager that in few days all of them
will be reduced to the same condition as
the exhibit. If they are not and / lose
my forfeit will admit I am a murderer
and will go to prison for life"
The experts agree that a chemical ex-
animation failed to reveal blood stains or
traces OF ashes on the ring. The body Of
Cuoccolo was found in the ashes from
Mount Vesuvius.
