WITNESS FOR CROWN
ACCUSED OF THE CRIME
Charge of Camorrists on
Trial for the Killing
of CuocCoIO.

VITFRBO, Italy. May 20.-Ex-Premier
Haron sonnino and Signors Salandra Ric-
clio and Chinienti all former cabinet min
istera were present at today's sitting of
the Camorra trial when the Interrogation
of Tomasso de Angels was continued.
Da Angels. together with Gaetano
Amedeo, both Of whom are crown VII
nesses, Is charged by Giacomo Ascrittore
with being one of the actual murderers OF
Cuoccolo. for which crime the Camorrists
are now on trial, and 1t Is alleged by
Ascrittore that a wound which de Angels
has on his leg was received during his
dSht with Cuoccolo. De Angels, by his
testimony today. attempted chiefly to
demonstrate that while fishing in the
sea at Ustica some years ago he slipped
and hurt his leg.
Amedeo Questioned.
Following the examination of de
Angels. Amedeo was Intercepted. He
said that he knew de Angels while they
both were in prison Amedeo admitted
that he had committed many thefts. but
became reticent when questioned about
several burxlaries for which he still can
be tried.
During a pervious examination Amedeo
tried TO establish an alibi by saying that
he went to Acerra, seven miles from
Naples. on the morning Of the Cuoccolc
murder. to obtain a position as coachman
His employer, however, has declared thai
Amedeo reached Acerra two days after
tho crime Amedeo today was forced tc
admit that he was mistaken as to the
date. He maintained. however, that the
wound on his wrist. which was bandageo
about the time Of the Cuoccolo murder
and which Ascrittore asserts was re-
ceiyed in the fight, was the result of an
accident several months before the crime
Among the objects sequestered by the
noiice in the home Of Amedeo was
burglars outfit. the presence of which he
could not explain. This fact brought
forth an exclamation from Corrado Sor'
tino. one Of the alleged actual Cuoccoie
murderers, ''That brings to my mind q
significant clue to the perpetrator OF the
crime. Amedeo wore a black tie like
that found on Cuoccolo's bed

Brings o'Conner to the Fore.

The idea started with a small group
of the party sitting around waiting for
something to happen in the hotel lob
by. A band started to play a ragtime
piece. George O'Connor wriggled out
on the floor in a semblance Of a cake
walk.
The trouble with this outfit 10 that
you have a lot Of talent that's going
to waste" was q REMARK tossed at ran
dom, and the idea Of concentrating all
this talent in a performance of some
sort Immediately took hold.
The idea, as framed up by the origi-
nal group loafing at the Hotel Cham
berlin is to corral -au the availab BILE
amateur. professional and semi-profes-
sional talent in Washington and give
show that is really worth the price
of admission, and q lot more If 1t is
a minstrel show, 1t has been suggested
to have the principal skits take Off"
and burlesque the doings of some Of
the city's best known men or institu-
tions. When the idea was put up to
the leaders of the Chamber Of Com
merce they were tremendously enthusi-
astic about 1t, and promised their aid
and good will
James F. Oyster. president Of the cham
Der. said he was too hot to talk about q
minstrel show. This was when he came
in to luncheon after a sail on Hampton
roads. but after he had cooled sufficiently
he was really in favor OF the idea, and
went as far as to suggest stunts for the
performers.
