August Munter and Nick La

shooting match at Hamilton about
two weeks ago. were arraigned
before Justice Cartwright yester-
day. and were fined $50 each, or
six months in the county Jail. Both
men plead guilty to carrying
concealed weapons.
Justice Cartwright did not enter
into the particulars of the cause
leading up to trouble between the
men which reulted in many shots
being fired in the business portion
of Hamilton, and it was not neces-
airy to do SO as the men plead
guilty to the charge of carrying
concealed weapons and were given
sentence which will go far to-
wards putting down gun plays in
White Pine county.
In sentencing the men Justice
Cartwright stated that it was his
intention in the future to make
the habit of gun packing un-
popular in White Pine county.
These decision are in line with
public sentiment in this county.

ITALIAN CRIMINAL TRIAL

The reports in American papers
uf the trial of the Camorrists at
Viterbo have made many people
wonder if there is any sysem at
all about crimi nal trials. and, if
there is, what the system is like.
There is system. and a very
simple one it, is. though utterly
different from that which governs
procedure in American or English
courts says, an exchange.
The trial takes place before
three judges and jury, to which
are added 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 be incapacitated from
further service. The dispositions
of all the witnesses have been
taken in writing and signed before
the trial begini. Each of the
j dyes has a copy of these before
him. The prosecutor and the
counsel for the accused furnish TO
the court a list of the witnesses
they desire called. and these are
summoned all by the court, which
has the power to punish non-at-
tendants.
The first thing that happens
when the trial begins is the ques-
tioning of the accused by the
presiding jutice. In Italy, as in
most of continental Europe. a man
accused Of crime is.considered by
the law to be the very best witness
10 his own guilt or innocence. In
England and America the accused
need not testify unless he CHOICES.
In Italy he is the first and most
imp 'rtant witness.
The accused is allowed the
widest scope in defending himself.
He has right to tell his own
story in his own way, to offer any
thing he can in the way of justifi.
cation or palli, ton; e@cn hear say
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 perfect
check against unfairness.
When the accused has given his
testimony he is confronted person
ally with his accuser The arcuser
is necessarily the principal witness
a&aint him. Strictly speaking. the
prisoner has no right to interrupt
his accuser while the latter is tel
ling his story hut in practice the
judge permit it, and the con front
alton sometimes becomes three
cornered debate between accuser,
accused and judge. the latter

way to demonstrate his innocen &C .
