SAY WITNESS WAS
 ACC0MPL|CE

NITERBO. Italy. April l9.-The trial of the Neapolitan Camorrists may be halted and new investigation into the murder of Gennaro CuoccOlo and his wife ordered on the ground that the informer, Gennaro Abbattemaggio was an accomplce in the crime.
 This possibility rests on the truth of a sensational report circulated on the resumption of the case today, to the effect that if the evidence already prepared by the state appears insuffi- cient to convict the accused, Abbatte- maggie will confess compliCitv in the assassination of CuocColo. It is said that he will swear that he wit messed the proceedings in the role Cf a picket who was posted tO warn the actual assassins against interrup' ton and to help them in escaping.
 If this confession is made, the trial will stop, as new inquiry into the facts of the crime will be neCes- sary.
 After a respite during holy week, the band of shackled Camorrists trOOped into the court of the aSSlZ- es today and again faced their accus- CTS from within the steel bars of the cages which occupy the right arm of the huge cross that shapes the interior of the ancient church of San Francisco.
 The priest, Giro Nitozzi. whose flights of oratOry and exhibitions of passion have enlivened the murder trial. is perhaps the most cheerful of the lot today He declared that during the Easter recess he had en- gagged in fervid religious exercises which had given him strength to en- dure every suffering.
 II am" he proclaimed. the guard ian angel of the Camorra, spiritual ly armored against everything and everybody"
 Vitozzi's lawyer opened the proceed ngs with motion that the court order the production of the warrants for the arrest of his client and Gia- como Ascrttore. who, the state al leges entered into a conspiracy to denounce De Angelis and AmadeO as the murderers of the Cuoccclos in order to save the real assassins.
 The court rejected the motion, rul- ing that orders of arrest must be con sdered legal until the contrary is proved
 Luigi Fucci. described as the fic- titiOus head of the CamOrrists, given a nominal office in order to protect Enrico Alenano, the guiding spirit. was called for interrogation Fucci averred that he was neither the real nor the nominal head of the organ ization, and further denied that he was even Camorrist.
 Tt would indeed be most strange" said the prisoner, If this society were to choose for it's leader man like myself Why, through my life l have been condemned but once and then to only two months in prison be- cause l had mixed in row. during which l was well beaten.
 Tt is true that 1 attended a ban, quet with a party of friends at the Aida tavern in Bagnolo in the spring of 1906, but it is absurd to assume that Cuoccolo was sentenced to death on that joyful occasion"
 Fucci then launched into disser- tation on the honor of his family. Like Ascrittore, he. too had an octO- genarian mother who was weeping beloved son.
 And my brother" said he, was a holy priest"
 Yes, true" interrupted Vitozzi sol emnly lowing his head, T knew Fuccis brother and I am convinced that he was a most devout man"
