ERR|C0NE MADE
POOR SHOWING
The Cross Examination Did
Not Show Him Up So
Favorably

Viterbo, Italy, April Under
cross examination today Erricone ap-
peared to lesser. advantage than he
did under the direct Interrogation of
yesterday, when his vehement denials
that he was neither "the head nor the
tail Of the Camorra" or had guilty
knowledge of the deaths of Cuccolo
and his wife, fairly stampeded the au-
dience. Hh defended sktlfully but
was not SO convincing. President
Blanchi asked him why he fed to the
United States if he was innocent after
Abbatemaggios revelations implicat-
ed him. Erricone answered that he
was experiencing an attack of intes-
tinal trouble and feared it would be
aggravated by confinement in prison.
He said he was confident of ultimate
vindication.
Erricone said that Abbatemaggio's
tale OF secrets conf1ded to him by 9TH
er Camorrists was absurd.
"Abbatemaggio," he said, "was con-
sidered a spy of the police. He went
into the game having nothing to fear.
When I was arrested he took possess
sion Of and sold the harnesses in my
stables"
In emphasizing what he called the
absurdities Of Abbatemaggio's accu-
sations. Erricone instanced the gay re-
turn from Terre del Groce of the al
legged assassins after the murder of
Cuoccolo. He told Of the gathering of
friends at the railway station to say
farewell to Ibello and of their drink
ing together.
Even" he said, eff we were wild
animals. was it possible for lis to act
like this after numbering man and
while preparing to murder his wife?
This is savagery which only crimi-
nal mind lick that Of Abbatemaggio
could conceive
Erricone then described how Abba
temaggio tried to blackmail him by
threatening to make revelations
against him. Erricone consulted a
lawyer. who said that if he was ac-
cused his acquittal would be certain,
but that If he was arrested he would
have to remain in prison for several
years before his case came to trial
Therefore, the witness said. he de-
cided to escape and went to New York
where he stopped with a friend.
He described his arrest there by
Lieut.. Petrosino and said he was
told that. owing to his bad record he
could not remain in the United States.
The witness said he was locked up in
the Tombs and later taken to France
and then extradited to Italy.
Erricone continued ridiculing the
description of the Camorra given by
Abbatemaggio, calling it fantastic and
childish. He ended his testimony with
a vigorous appeal to the jury, saying
that the jurors must consider that
the accused men are "sons of We
suvius," are as God made as them,
quick tempered and ready for decourse
to violence when provoked but inca
pable Of committing terrible murder
like that of Cuoccolo and his wife.

D and one of his remarks may be ex-
pected at any time.
One that he indulged in Thursday
is characteristic. Counsel Tracy r.
Bangs has just commenced making
an argument when the Stark county
senator arose.
"Mr. President" he remarked. II
would like to suggest to the counsel
that he not speak so loud as to dis
turb the conversation
And about that time little argu-
ment that had been going on, some
what one-sided so far as converse
tion was concerned, suddenly ceased.
One member of the court had forgot
ten for the moment the presence of

nor Nahum J. Bachelor, master Of
the National Grange practically
threatens to withdraw the support Of
the Grange from the advocacy Of a
permanent tariff commission because
ne considers the proposed reciprocity
agreement with Canada unfair to the
farmers of this country. He point.
out that the Grange at successive
annual meetings endorsed the crea-
uon OF a tariff commission and took
an active part in bringing the infiu-.
ence OF the farmers to bear ON con-
gress In favor Of legislation for that
purpose" He says further:
NOW that tariff board is at work
and 1t Is probable that tariff conn.
mission will be created BY consress
IN the near future. the farmers Of the
country are amazed to find that their
industry Is to be excluded from con-
stderation. Without any hearings be-
fore the tariff board bill has been
prepared and congress called in spe-
cial session to enact it, that abolish
es entirely the slight tariff protec-
ton given to farm products and sub
1ects our afrmers to the free compe-
tition of the farm products of Can
ada.
IF. as 1t would appear, the farm
ers are to be excluded from the bene-
fits Of tariff commission, 1t hardly
can be expected that they will take
any further interest in the creation
of sucha body, but will rather be in
clined to use their influence against
it in the future" :,

Thursdays Herald contains a col
lection OF figures which 1t says is com-
piled by Prof. Jobs Comforter from
relie-able sources, purporting to
prove that Winnipeg, Duluth and Min
neapolts prices for wheat have been
at least previous to the last two years,
approximately the same. An editor
ial dilattng ON the 4said figures in the
same issue Of the Herald says "the
argument against reciprocity as shown
BY the difference in-prices on either
side Of the line as q piece Of logic ia
faulness except for the important
matter that it does not hang together" J"
The Herald editorial then proceeds to
call attention to the aforesaid figures
and proves by them "that the Winni-
peg prices remained for month after
month, as high as Minneapolis prices" "

o. L. Lande of Hansboro followed
Gill and testified with reference to
the incident occurring in Hansboro
in August. 1909. He saw Cowan in
an automobile one evening. sitting in
his undershirt without coat and vest
on. He was about thirty-five or forty
feet away. While there he said an
other man came toward the automo-
bile carrying package, placing the
same in the automobile. A few min
utes later he saw Cowan putting on
some clothes. which he said appeared
to be shirt. But he knew nothing
else with reference to the matter.
He said that he had drawn the con-
clusion that the judge was somewhat
intoxicated by reason Of a man Of
his prominence stopping in the mid
die of the street to put on a new
shirt, and because he had seen Cowan
and several others in the automobile
with coats and hats off.
No Evidence Coming.
On the alleged Mcdonald and
Shulze incidents, the former at Min
newaukan and the latter at Rugby,
charged in the articles Of impeach-
ment. 1t now appears that no evil
dence whatsoever will be introduced.
Counsel Geo. Bangs stated in his
opening statement of yesterday aft
ernoon that inasmuch as both women
were absent from the state. that there
appeared little likelihood Of evidence
being submitted on those cases.
Evidence bearing out the conten-
tion OF the state under the sixth and
seventh charges will be introduced
in joint manner, that is. the evil
dence that will be introduced in one
charge will also be introduced as
bearing upon the first. The sixth
charge relates to delay in cases and
the seventh. charge relates to the fl
ing of certificates with the state audi
tor. such certificates being those filed
on which the judges of the district
court receive their salaries.
