ALfAN0'S DEFENSE
SUFFERS COLLAPSE
ITALIAN PILL,ORIED By JUDGE
BIANCHI IN ME-RCILESS CROSS
EXAMINATION.

VITERBO. ITALY, April 1.--Enri-
CO Alamo, bead of the Camorra was
put through q merciIess cross exam
nation by Judge Bianchi to-day and
the cause OF the prisoners suffered
materially by the practical collapse
Of the glib defense made by Alamo
yesterday.
The most telling point made by the
Judge WAS his query as to why AL
fano waited until Informer Ahbste-
maggie began his disclosures before
he fed to America.
The witness created considerable
amusement by replying that he was
seized with an attack Of stomach
trouble at that tiaaa and WAS afraid
that his confinement In prison, even
pending his vindtcntion would prove
fatal
Alfano again denied the existence
OF the Camorra, declaring that It had
long since ceased Its activities. Here
again Biauchi forced trreconciiAble
admissions from the witness.
