crime he said he gagged Mrs Hall with
her apron while Zanza committed tns

and this came as a surprise 10 Assistant
District Attorney Davis. The prisoner said
that, in addition TO the five under arrest
Francisco Dimarco and Tony Longo. who
have not been arrested also took part In
the hold-up. Three other convicted men

was assigned by Justice Tompkins to defend
Zanza, advised him not 10 go on the stand,
but he only laughed at him and insisted or
