 Cut Throat With Piece of Glass.
 When the accused men were placed in the iron cage to hear the verdict, Di Marinas suddenly drew forth a piece of glass and cut his throat. He fell to the floor of the cage in pool of blood and general pandemonium broke loose. The others screamed lick wild ami mals, shouting invectives and impre- cations.
 Rapi shouted: This innocent blood Is crying for revenge" Alfano ragged around and recalled his mother's death, who, he cried, was -a"victim of injustice and a man who had suffered the martyrdom of innocence"
 Vftozh knelt, weeping and praying. All the prisoners acted like maniacs and the carbineers had difficulty in forcing their way into the cage to maintain order and carry out the wounded Di Marinas.
 Shook Fists at Judge.
 The pronouneement of sentence was received with uproarlous protests from the condemned men One of them shouted: we are innocent This is legal assassination" Some of them shook their fists at the judge and oth-
 
 attempted in. concert to harangue those assembled in the court. In addition to the police and earbineeFs within the building. a battalion of troops with fixed bayenets were drawn up outside. It was feared that some attempt might be made to rescue the prisoners.
 pi Marinas ia Serious Condition.
 Di MariRas is in seadeus condition. There is a gash four inches long and half an inch deep in his throat The glass with which he attempted suicide severed an artery, which was tied, but Di MaEinasf the moment he was left alone, tore off the bandages and re- opened the wound. Surgeons again dressed the injuries, but the wounded man declared he was determined to die.
 The verdict as whole proved some what of a surprise, and all are agreed that the severity of teh sentence is the last blow to the CamoTTa, which has practically been annihilated since the arrost of It's loaders
