Denies in Court Statements Made in
Deposition.

viterbo, Italy. June 23.-At the trial
o. the Camorrists for the murder OF
Gennaro Cuocolo and hish wife, today.
one witness named Caratto contradict
ed the statements he had made in his
deposition during :he original inquiry
into the crime. At first he said that
he had seen a party of Camorrists at

gre alleged to have determina upon
the death of Cuecolo. Today the wit
ness said he had not seen the accused
ones at the dinner described.
At this Lawyer Rota, who is defend
ing De Angels, said 1t would be neces-
Eary to establish whether the witness
had told the truth in the first place or
was telling IL now. De Angels is one
of those who the defense asserts assas-
sinated Cuocolo and later attemeptd
40 lay the crime at the door of the
Gamorra.

paper scheduie-these were features
today in the fight over reciprocity.
Activity Confined to Side Rooms.
But there were no speeches on the
subject in the senate and the activity
was confined to the office rooms and
cloak rooms. where reciprocity was the
uppermost topic.
Bailey to Press Amendment
Senator Bailey announced his inten-
tioH of pressing his amendment Vigor-
ously. Although he looks forward to
the addition of some of the tariff pro-
visions to the Canadian Dill he believes
that such action will probably be the
result Of a prolonged struggle.
Amendment to Free List Bill.
Another tariff amendment-this one
to the free list bi1l-was presented by
Senator Clapp, designed to add to the
free list alum. chloride of lime, aniline
products, uItramarine, vermillion reds,
soda ash, sulphur, china clay or kaolin,
wooden felts or jackets. and brass or
copper wire cloth.
Amendments Endaneer Reciprocity.
The informal conference was held in
the office of Senator Smith of South
Carolina. Mr. Smith was outspoken
in opposition to amendments and he
and John Sharp Williams united with
Senator Stone in saying that it was
uil"tSO 10 IeClpTOCIly IOT SOUlS-
thing more which would render all
uncertain.
viii Take No Chances.
I'VE will not take any chances said
Mr.. Williams. We can attend to the
tariff after we get reciprocity
Talk of Recess Until Fall.
In the capitol corridors there was
discussion of a recess of congress
until next fall, and at one time there
was q well defined report that an
agreement TO that end had been reach
ed But senators scoffed at the ru-
NOR They would be glad to get away,
but they realize that such course
would be impossible with reciprocity
pending.
Vote on Root Amendment Monday.
There was no difficulty in getting a
general consent to vote on the Root
provision before adjournment Monday
The request for the agreement was
made by Senator PenrOse at a time
when but few senators were in the
chamber. He based it on the desire
of Senator Root to be absent from the
city for few days.
May Cut Out LaFoIIette's Speech.
If Senator LaF'ol1ette had been pres
ent he probably would have been slow
to assent to a vote at so early date,
for it is understood that he desires to
address the senate regarding it before
it is submitted TO the final verdict of
the senate. In his absence no voice
was raised against the proposal.
