The trial Of Enrico Altrano, the
leader, and OF thirty other members
of the notorious Neapolitan Camorra.
which is to begin in Italy a week
hence, is awaited with great interest
by New York Italians According to
reports received here, the trial is
expected TO drag through six months
and will be bitterly contested by
both sides. The Camorrists are
said to have unlimited funds for de.
Tense and have employed some Of
the best legal talent in Italy. That
thousands of dollars have been con-
tributed to the defense fund by New
York Italians is practically certain.
Alfano, the Camorra chief, fed to
New York in 1907 and was arrested
by Detective Petrosino. In 1909 Pet
rosino was assassinated in Palermo,
Italy, where he had gone to study
the methods of Italian criminals. 1t
is believed that the mystery of Pet
rosino's murder may be dissipated
by the coming trial.
