CAMORRISTS
MAY GO FREE
FarCiCal VerdiCtS Expected
at the Italian
Trial
HAVE MUCH INFLUENCE
In GOVERNMENT CIRCLES

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
VITERBO. Italy. April s.-Although
the Camorrists trial will drag on for
weeks there is already every indica-
ton that it viii end in farcical ver-
diets.
Court experts who have followed the
proceeding expressed the opinion to-
day that there will not be more than
three convictions and that these will
be for short terms. In this event the
guilty ones will be Immediately re-
leased as the imprisonment they un-
derwent awaiting trial would un-
doubtedly amount TO more than the
terms Of their sentences.
The opinion prevails in many minds
that, aside from Judge Bianchi, none
of those connected with the prosecu-
ton has the requistse nerve TO deal
with the revengeful Camorrists.
Great Influence Of CamOrrists.
The real basis, however. for the be-
lief that the prisoners will escape
lightly is the influence either Of the
Camorrists themselves or of their
friends in governmental affairs Many
Of those In high places are believed
to be connected, directly or indirect
", with the Camorrists.
A unique situation promises to arise
I'm the probable adjournment OF the
trial on Tuesday until after Easter.
Nearly all of the prisoners profess

church and they are clamoring for an
opportunity to observe Holy Week.
They have petitioned for an adjourn

BIG DEFICIT
OF COUNCIL
Stir Over Financial MANAGE
ment That Promises $l44,-
900 Shortage by June
MAY TRY TO SMOTHER
OVER BY BOND ISSUE

Wilmington's financial condition
under the present Democratic City
Council. as revealed by the publica-
tion yesterday of City Auditor Kurtz's
statement, has aroused the greatest
interest
While it was generally expected
that the Democratic Council would
wind up the fiscal year in June with
big deficit, the figures Of City Audi
tor Kurtz show a deficit Of about
S144 900 confronting Council.
Mr. Kurtzs statement for the pres
ent fiscal year shows estimated re-
ceipts of S104, ,O02, and expenditures
of S24S,000 that must be met with this
Sl04, 700, or a deficit of S144,00O in
prospect.
The expenditures include S45,0 900 of
Water Department bonds that fall due
the first of May and June, and it is
likely that Council will refund these
bonds,-that is borrow similar
amount. with which to pay off the
present bonds.
Should this evasive plan be followed
it will leave an actual deficit of $780,
600. II is said the Democratic Coun-
Gil may try to float a bond issue 10
cover up the entire amount, as the ef-
feet of this startling financial man
agement is feared by the Democrats IN
the municipal campaign now under
way.
II always has been charged by the
Republicans that the Democrats have
been unable to make financial ends
meet when they are in control of CITY
Council, and the record of the pres
ent Council bears this out more than
ever, the Republicans contend.
The only way the situation can
really be worked out is by an in
crease in the tax rate TO meet the ex-
penses of the city, but Council fears
to raise the tax rate because of the
political effect it would have.
