BLACKMAIL TRIAL
 .IS SENSATIONAL

Erie, Fa, July 2.-Late today the de- feuse drew aside the curtain in the trial of Gilbert B. Perkins of Pittsburg and Charles Franklin of Philadelphia, de tectives charged with sending Black Hand letters to Charles H. Strong of this city, and disclosed a line of questioning tha. was sensational.
 Black Hand letters recently sent to Judge Chiswell of yenango county, Sher- if Williams of the same county. and to Gen. Charles Miller of Franklin. Pa, mil lionaire oil men, were mentioned by coun- sel representing the defendants.
 A few weeks ago Thomas J. Dempsey, manager of a detective agency at Frank lin, Pa. was arrested charged with send ing Black Hand letter to General Mil- Ter demanding S25.o0o. The alleged evi- dence against Dempsey, it Is said, was secured by Perkins.
 William c. Pangeliy, a handwriting ex-
 pert, was on the stand when, during oss-examination, Attorney Thompson oi the defense asked him if he had not re- ported to Dr. Woods of Pittsburg that
 "Black Hand letters received by Judge Criswell, Sheriff Williams and General Miller were not similar to the letters l in the Strong case, and If he did not say that in his opinion the same person
 wrote all the letters.
 | Pangelly said the letters were brought to him by Dr. Woods, who said that another expert who was working on them. whose name he would not mention, could not continue because of his eyesight.
 After a hasty examination, he, had re ported to Dr. Woods that he thought the letters from Venango county were writ ten by the same person who wrote the Strong letters. Upon making thorough investigation, he said, he came to the con clusion that the letters were not similar and so reported to Dr. Woods.
 MT. Pangelly, previous to this testi- mony. pointed out the alleged similarity between the Black Hand letters written by Charles Franklin in the federal build ing at Phiadelphianat the dictation of Chief Postoffice 1nstctor James T. Cor telyou and the letters received by Mir. Strong D. N Carvalho of New York, a handwriting expert, was comparing the letters when court adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday morning.

CAMORRA TRIAL
 BECOMES VIOLENT
Angry Words and Insults Compel Court to
 Adjourn

Yiterbo. Italy, July 21Rrhe most violent scene at the Camorrist trial was pro- voked today by personal dispute between Captain Fabroni and Lawyer Lioy. In the tumult all the lawyers fled from the room, Enrico Alfano and .Gennaro Abbatemag- gio the informer, were thrown out bod fly by the caribineers. Giovanni Barto- lozzi fell in a fit and President Bianchi helpless to maintain order, declared the session adjourned.
 Throughout the hubbub Fabroni, cap tain of the Neopoletan caribineers, stood pale but impressive. As the court room was being clear he said:
 .'The Camorra, in or out of court, can't intimidate me-"
 Alessander Lioy. attorney for the de- fense. formerly edited a newspaper. Fab rino has testified that revelations against the Camorra, made by Editor Lioy, were not in harmony with the claims set up by Lawyer Lioy in defense of his clients.
 This reflection on the lawyer, repeated Lioy screamed like a mad man, Ab- batenaggio joined in the row in support of the captain and Enrico Alfano, the alleged head of the Camorra, lead in a chorus of invictiyes directed against s$ broni and Abbatemaggio.
 Finally the president ordered Abbate- maggie and Alfano removed from the room. They were not disposed to meet this order quietly and had to be seized by carfbineers and dragged from the place.
 For a little time there was calm and the president took advantage of the op- portunity to admonish all to avoid per sonalties. With much feeling Fabroni replied:
 For years I have stood the insults of this man Lioy without trying him before the courts, because considered him not a criminal but a person whose mental faculties were unbalanced
 Bioy retorted in fury, calling the wit ness a hypocrite.
 "A greater hypocrite than yourself does not exist replied Fabroni.
 The exchange again stirred the prison CTS and opposing counsel and the din that followed fairly shook the court Of the assizes. All the lawyers for the de- fense, except Dioy. shouting their indig- nation, stallSed out of the room. Lioy jumped about, gesticulating and hurling epithets at the crowns witnesses.
 Meantime the prisoners in the great steel cage were hissng and cursing their aecusser and applauding their lawyer At last Giovanni, Bartolozzi and others pressed their heads between the bars of the cage like wild animals struggling to reach their tormentor.
 Get your heads back in there" ordered earibineers with a threatening movement
 NO; cut off our heads. Yes, behead us" they cried. Our women.' screamed Francesca Siderio, have become defiled because of this pig"
 Bartoozzi tumbled over in an epileptic fit The doctors entered the cage to at tend him and were followed by a score of oaribineers, each of whom seized a prisoner and held him until he vas physi- cally exhausted.
 His efforts to restore order being futile, President Bianchi adjourned the sitting.

SHERWOOD MAGEE SUSPENDED

tional league. MT. Lynch stated that Magee had been guilty of the most flag rant violation of Rule 70 of the playing rules. by his unprovoked assault on Um- pire Finneran during the progress of a championship game at Philadelphia on July 10. The assault was followed by public statements coming from the player and accepted by officials of the Phila- delphia club to the effect that Umpire Finneran had applied a vile name to the offending player. This charge has been found absolutely untrue. Under the pow CTS conferred by Playing Rule 67. and for the good of the game, President Lynch has fixed Magee's suspension for the re- mainde of the playing season of 1911, in addition to the payment of the s2oo fine previously imposed"

Two Games Today

Baseball fans of Ensley are eagerly awaiting the time for the two games which are to be played on the Steel Mill diamond. The first game is sched- uled to begin at 1:30 o'clock and viii be played between the Accountants and the Mechanics. The second game will be contested by the Electricians and the Mills.
 Both contests will be unusually in- teresting. The Accountants and the Me chanics have always been friendly rivals for baseball honors. The Ae- countants had lost only two games at the end of the season out of the nine played, while the Mechanics dropped only two games out of the six played. Both teams are out for the pennant and will try to run up their percentage column by winning the game tomor- row.
 The game between the Electricians and Mills will be equally interesting, and will be closely contested. The mill team nas lately been strengthened by the merg- ing of two teams, and reports from their camp are to the effect that they, too. are after the pennant.
