sponded with his spirit. which is calm after
a week Of passion. The interrogation 20
which he was subjected had told seyereN
on the priest but he has improved since
the court commanded him to break his
fast
Speaking Of the approaching Easter
Vitozzi said he hoped his ascension TO
heaven would come soon IN the form OF
his liberation
The proceedings opened with the exam
ination OF Gennaro Ascrittore who is ac-
oused Of having denounced De Angels and
Amsdeo as the murdererS OF Cuoccolo in
order TO save the real assassins. His de-
fense was that he acted in good faith and
he described at length how he became
convinced Of De Angels guilt.
Two days before the murder" said he.
DE Angels came to my home and asked
to be given a room for three days. Later
understood this 20 have been a ruse on
his part TO aid him in establishing an alb,
after Cuocoolo had been killed. Some time
afterwards he returned TO my house dis
guised as a coaiheaver, and, opening his
coat exhibited a dagger. / allowed him
70 sleep In the courtyard.
Later he came to me clean shsven and
explained his former disguise by saying
that he was at Castellamare Adraiticu
when Vitozh arrived there. TO make in
auiries IN the interests OF Enrrico Alfano,
who was then under suspicion. De An
gels said he feared arrest and fled. He
showed wound In the leg which APP
parently. had been caused by a penknife,
His actions from the first convinced me
that he vas one OF the murderers Of
CuoccolO."
