the trial begins is the questioning of
the accused by the presiding Justice
In Italy, as in most of Continental
Europe, a man accused of a crime is
considered by the law to be the very
best witness to his own guilt or inno-
cence. In England and America the
accused need not testify unless he
choose. In Italy he is the first and
most important witness.
The accused is allowed the widest
scope in defending himself. He has a
right to teld his own story in his own
way, TO offer anything he can in the
way of justification or palliatiOn; even
heresay evidence is admissible. The
judge has absolute discretion as to
what testimony may be received and
what excluded, and any judge who ex.
ercised 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 a
perfect check against unfairness.

with his accuser. The accuser is ne

him. Strictly speaking, the prisoner
has no right to interrupt his accuser

CRIMINAL TRAILS IN ITALY.

The reports in American papers of
the trial of the Camorrists at Viterbo
have made many people wonder if
there is any system at all about Grim
inal trials, and if there is, what the
system is like. There is a system,
and a very simple one it is, though
utterly different from that which gov
erns procedure in American or Eng
lish 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 fur
Their service. The dispositions of all
the witnesses have been taken in writ
ing and signed before the trial begins.
Each of the judges has a copy of these
before him. The prosecutor and the
counsel for the accused furnish to the
court list of the witnesses they de-
sire called and these are summoned
all by the court, which has power to
punish nonattendanc-.

Especial Correspondence Of The Starr
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Metallife-
rous mines of the west are to be made
the subject of a strongly organized
appeal for recognition during the next

the western membership will be suffi-
GENTLY strong either to win out or

The TRANSMISSION Of blood for the re-
vival Of weakened patients has become so
much OF a success in connection with
modern medicine and surgery. and the
demand for pure blood for such purposes
has sometimes been so great that more
than one offer has been made to sell
blood for TRANSMISSION. Several somewhat
Intricate questions are coming up In con-
nection with the whole subject. II seems
pretty certain that one who thus receives
new blood partakes to some extent OF the
physical characteristics as well as the
physical strength Of the one who GEE IT,

tiers that something Of the moral nature
of the giver goes with the blood, but this
has not yet been proved In any case. 30
far, in almost all cases OF this kind. the
pure blood needed has been furnished by
some near relative or particular friend.
so that there was no trouble on this
score II, however. the selling Of ones
blood for such purpose shall ever be-
come a business matter Of bargain ana

enter into the question.
