Thirty-twO Of Them at YiterbO,
Italy, for Trial.


viterbo. italy Especial Detacn-
ments Of police heavily armed and
carbineers surrounded the station
here Saturday at the arrival of 81
members of the Camorra, who are to
stand trial for the murder OF James
Cuocolo, q leading member Of the
band, who had incurred the yenge-
ance of the Camorrists for alleged
acts Of treachery. Cuocolo's body
was found on the seashore near
Naples in June, 1906, and the mutt
lated body Of his wife was discover
ed shortly afterward in house near
by.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken to guard the prisoners and to
prevent any attempt at their release.
They have been in close confinement
for more than three years, and hum
dreds Of their friends and relatives
gathered at the station here Satur-
day. Police detachments we're sta
toned at various points, and when
the train arrived from Naples there
was scene Of riot and disorder
1t was known that nothing would
be left undone to effect rescue, and
stringent orders had been issued to
the police and carbineers to put down
any such attempt by whatever means
necessary.
The prisoners descended from the
car in groups Of five chained togeth-
err. They comprised all varieties in
the social scale, from dandy to Iaz-
zarone.e Chief among them was En-
rico Alfano. better known as Erie
cone, head of the Camorra, who was
arrested in New York in April. / GOT,
BY Detective Petrosini. He was wrap
ped up in heavy furs and seemed
hardly able to stand.
The prisoners shook their
manacled fists and raised their voices
almost as loudly as their protesting
friends and relatives The wife OF
Mandriere, known al las DeMarinis,
the most prominent Camorrist after
Erricone, struck at the Carabineers,
shouting:
May you all be killed! May you
all go to the dissecting table Of the
hospital!4
Erricone protested earnestly say
ing: I'VE are murdered innocents.
The Viterbo jury viii take revenge on
us. Thus Italy will be disgraced be-
fore the world.
1t is believed that evidence will be
brought out at the trial Of these men

WHOLESALE MURDER charge
Twenty-Five Indictments Return
cd in Times Explosion.
Names Of Accused Not TO Be Made
Public Un.il Arrests.

Los Angeles Special The grand
jury in the Los Angeles Times ex-
| plosion case returned 22 indictments
Thursday. All of the indictments
charge murder in connection with
that crime. It Is not likely that the
names of any Of the indicted will be
made public until after the arrests
have been made. It is believed q
large number of San Franciscoans
have been indicted.
Wholesale murder, the outcome Of
q dynamite plot, is understood to be
the charges set forth in all the indict-
ments. but it Is believed that not
more than three or four men are
named in the true bills.
The return OF the indictments was
q sequel of a disaster that excited the
people Of Los Angeles to degree
that for few days bordered upon
panic, and resulted in the Offering of
rewards aggregating almost $780,
900.
Union labor. which the Times and
it's proprietors had opposed, was in
jected into the situation, and when
the special grand jury was impaneled
on October IS 1t was immediately
confronted with two conflicting
theories.
One Of these. supported by the
findings Of an investigating commit
tee appointed by Mayor Alexander.
that the Times plant had been blown
up by dynamite through q conspiracy.
The other, presented by committee
named by the State Building Trade
Convention, then in session here, was
that gas explosion had caused the
wreck.
More than 40 witnesses, the ma
jority Of them Identified with the
union labor movement, were sum
moned from San Francisco and 9th.
or cities. Many labor union officials
were heard. In all, the grand jury
examined more than 200 persons
who, in the opinion Of detectives
working here and in San Francisco,
might throw some light on the alleg-
ed murder plot.
Among the labor leaders summon
ed from San Francisco were Olaf E.
Tveitmoe and Anton Johanssen, who
were supposed to have been acquaint-
ed with j. B. Bryce, w. "A. Schmidt
and David Kaplan, three suspects in
the case. who were in this city for q
few hours after the explosion. but
subsequently disappeared.
According to the detectives, Bryce,
Schmidt and Kaplan we're the three
who purchased from q San Francisco
dealer in powder dynamite later used
ito destroy the Times. More powder
dynamite was found later In bomb
planted under the residence of Felix
En-. zeehandlaar, secretary Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton. This organization had opposed
the extension Of labor unions in this
city.
Two days ago an additional re-
ward of SIS, 700 was formally offered
by the county board Of supervisors
for the capture Of the trio.
