A FEARLESS WITNESS
AGAINST CAMORRISTS.
Captain of Naples Carabineers Handles
ORGANIZATION Without Gloves.

Viterbo July 11.-Captain F,abroa III
of the carabineers of Naples, who has
been investigating the Camorra for
years past, took the witness stand to-
day and denounced the organization as
the greatest of all criminal associa-
tions. He proved an exceptional wit
ness, facing the prisoners in the cage
without a tremor. and giving testimony
which embraced the doings of the Ca
mora almost from the beginning Of its
history.
The chief object of the organization,
he declared, is blackmai1 and usury.
A typical example was to be found in
the Camorrist Danna, ostensibIy a
cobbler, who collected s160,00o.
Special members Of the association,
he said introduced youths to women,
who take them to gambling places,
where they lose their money and run
into debt. Then the usurer completes
the work. Erricone. the alleged leader
of the Camorrists, continued the wit
ness, was on trial on such a charge.
But he was acquitted" shouted
Lawyer Bovio for the defense.
Everyone knows what acquittals
mean in cases in which the Camorra 1s
concerned" retorted Fabroni. BE
was the brother of the president of the
court who acquitted him.
This was the signal for great tu-
multi. Erricone within the cage leap
ed to his feet and dashed at the bars,
shrieking so wildly that it was impos-
sible to understand him. The lawyers.
especially Bovio, protested against
what they considered an insult to the
Neopolitan judges and lawyers, Bovio,
addressing Fabroni, accused him of a
vulgar insinuation and outrageous con-
duct.
Captain Fabroni, who faced the hur-
ricane courageously, sprang towards
Bovio after the documen YOU had
forged in Paris, I refuse to lower my
self to your level" he cried.
The excitement was intense. Police
and carabineers rushed between Fa-
broni and the lawyer. as a hand-to-
hand fight seemed imminent. The
president of the court tried to que1l
the cfamor. He finally requested Fa
broni and Boyio to withdraw their
words, which they both did. Fabroni
explained that the documents to which
he referred had to do with the defense
of Rapi, the alleged treasurer of the
Camorra, when he lived in Paris.
The Interrogation being continued,
Fabroni described the gambling con-
Quoted by Rapi and Rapis cleverness

Fabroni continued his testimony un-

every person, including the poor emf
grants going to America.
