TRIALS IN ITALY.
Criminal Court MethoGs There Utterly
Different From Ours.


Criminal court trials In Italy are con-
Quoted under very simple system.
though utterly different from the sys-
tenn which governs procedure In Amer
lean or English courts. says an eK-
change
The trial takes place before three
Judges and n jury. 10 which are added
n certain number OF extra jurors. who
are sworn and are present IN court to
hear the testimony and are held ready
TO take the place In the jury box OF
any Juror who may In the course OF
the trial he incnpncitated from further
service. The dispositions OF all the
witnesses have been taken In writing
and signed before the trial begins.
Each Of the judges has Al copy of these
before him The prosecutor and the
counsel for the accused furnish 10 the
court list Of the witnesses they de-
sire called. and these are all summon
ed by the court. which has power TO
punish uonattendance
The first thing that happens when
the TRIAL begins is the questioning OF
the accused by the presiding justice.
In Italy. as In most OF continental Eu-
rope. a man accused OF a crime is con-
sidered by the law TO be the very best
witness to Ids own guilt or innocence
In England aud America the accused
need NOT testify unless he chooses. In
Italy be is the orst and most impor-
tant witness.
The accused Is allowed the widest
scope in defending himself. He has
q right 10 tell his own story IN his
own way. TO offer anything be can In
the way OF justification or palliation.
Even hearsSy evidence is admissible.
The Judge has absolute discretion as
to what testimony may be received
and what excluded. and any judge
who exercised this discretion unfairly
would be an object OF execration- Bias
on the part OF one judge Is possible,
but there are always the other two
judges on the bench with him. and
they are q perfect check against un-
fairness.
When the accused has given his tes-
timony be Is confronted personally
with his accuser. The accuser Is nee
essarily the principal witness against
him Strictly speaking. the prisoner
has NO right to interrupt his accuser
while the latter Is telling his story
but In practice the judges permit It
and the CONFORMATION sometimes be-
comes Q three cornered debate between
