BY JOHNSON

CINCINNATI. May 1s.--President b.
b. johnson. Of the American League, on
his arrival here today sent the follow
ing telegram TO Manager Jennings. of
the Detroit team: "Cobb's suspension
stands until the matter Is fully inyesti-
gated. II teams refuse 10 play that Is
a matter for the club owners to mako
good on. Umpire should have put the
man out OF the stand. cobb had no
right to attack him.
president Johnson appeared grimly de-
termined to keep Cobb out of the game
until the matter had been fully inyesti
gated. The natter OF the players refus-
ing TO play until Cobb was renstated
seemed TO him TO be of secondary con
siderat.on. This he declared was mat
ter for the clnb owners to attend TO.
johnson said:
Speaking of the case unofficially, 1t
looks as IL Cobb went way wrong In his
actions. OF course, he may have had
great provocation. The fellow may have
abused him just as Cobb claims he did
but where are the rules, and what are
they for? Cobb had but to appeal to
the umpire. The umpire. upon Cobb S
request. would have had no option He
would have had the rooter thrown out
of the ball park, and that would have
been the end of the affair. What right
did Cobb have to rush to the stand,
knock a man down, and kick him with
his spikes? or course, I want to hear
all the evidence. on both sides, but on
the face of the returns fail to see
where Cobb can be justified.
AS to the threat of the players-tnelr

Some one of those who entered the

Mrs. Ciccone Will Testify
Against Man Accused,
with Her, of Murder
ing Husband.
ALLOWED, IN RETURN,
TO PLEAD NON VULT
Fiori, Her Alleged Accomplice
in Poisoning, Figured in a
Previous Murder and Jail De-
livery in This Country.

Mrs. Maddalena Ciccone, Jointly
charged with Antonio Fiori with the
murder of her husband. Leonardo Gle
cone. In their home on March Z last,
was expected to plead non vult to the
charge before Chief Justice William s.
Gummere today.
Instead, at the end OF long confer
snce between Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott
and the chief Justice. the woman was
taken back to the county jail and the
announcement was made that her plea
would be taken next Saturday.
1t is known that Mrs. Ciccone has
confessed to her part In the admins
tration of poison to her husband, and
that 1t was mainly on this confession
that Fiori was Jointly indicted with her.
II is understood the woman will turn
States evidence and give testimony
when Fiori is brought to trial.
The evidence in the case has been
worked up by County Detective Anthony
DE Rogatis and Court Interpreter Joseph
Eederici, the confession OF Mrs. Clccone
having been obtained by them.
And back of it all lies another tale
that until today had not come TO light,
and that is that Fiori for the second
time is under Indictment for murder in
Essex county, and also that he figured In
one of the most daring attempts at jail
escape in this county jail.
The facts are as follows: On June B.
1909. Antonio Caprio and Antonio Fioi'
were in a saloon at 40 Garside street. as
WAS also Salvatore Borrecco, a fellow
eountrymep quarrel arose. and when
II ended Borrecco was dying from stab
wounds inflicted by a rude iron knife.
The facts developed that caprio had com
mitted the actual killing, while Fior was
charged with holding Borrecco in chair
while the stabbing was going ON.
After being indicted, Caprio and Fiori
started to plan an escape from Jail.
rhey enlisted rUe afu or several others,
and suddenly. late in the afternoon Of
August Il, 1903. concerted rush was
made for the wagon gateway of the jail
By Caprio and dozen others.
John Corby. Matt Smith, Indian
Jack" Bryant and other keepers headed
off the rush, Corby firing one shot that
killed caprio almost instantly
With Caprio dead, the murder charge
AGAINST Fiori fell, and on February 2l,
1910, lae was allowed TO retrnct his plea
of not guilty to murder to guilty of as
ssult and battery, on which plea he was
sentenced to six months at the Caldwell
penitentiary.
