The Italian Camorrists Convicted.

=
On July s, at the city of Viter-
DO, Italy, pandemonium broke
loose in the prisoners big iron
cage when the Camorrists, who
have been on trial for nearly two
years were all found guilty of Of
lenses in varying degrees. The
prisoners screamed like wild ami
mails and shouted invectives and
imprecations, and Di Marinas
drew a piece of glass from his
pocket and cut his throat. His
wound was given attention, but
as soon as the physicians were
gone he tore the bandages off,
declaring he intended to die.
The verdict declares Corrado
Sortino guilty of the murder of
both Cuocolo and his wife; Nico-
la Nora, Antonio Cerrate and
Marine DiGennaro, guilty of the
murder of Cuocolo, and Giuseppe
Silvi guilty of the murder of Quo
colo's wife. Enrico Alamo, the
alleged leader of the Camorrists;
Giovanni Rapi Di Marinas and
the others are convicted of being
instigators of the crimes and
members of a criminal organi-
zation.
The president of the court i'm
mediately sentenced the con-
demned men. Sortino, Merrato,
Salvi, Nora, Di Gennaro, AL
fano, Rapi and Di Marinas were
sentenced to thirty years i'm
prisonment, and to ten years
police surveillance each; Di Mat
ito to ten years and six months
Imprisonment and three years
surveillance; Acrittore to ten
years imprisonment and three
years surveillance; Vitozzi, the
priest, to seven years imprison-
ment and two years surveillance;
the others to five years. impri-
sonment and three years surveil-
lance.
The verdict as a whole proved
somewhat of a surprise, and all
are agreed that the severity of
the sentence is the last blow to
the Camorra, which practically
has been annhilated since the
arrest of its leaders.

Attorney General Pleasant was
busy answering inquiries by tele-
graph and telephone Tuesday as
the result of a story in the Plea
yune in which it was said he had
ruled that the new Eighth Dis
trict Congressman could not be
seated until 1915, and that there
fore there would be no election
this year.
General Pleasant gave out the
following statement:

Road Building and Maintenance.


One of the principle things that
confronts our newly installed po-
lice jury, in addition to the build
ing of permanent model roads, is
as to the most effective and least
expensive method of keeping the
roads repair after they have
been built, and of making COL
lateral roads leading into the
main roads.
1t is well to always profit by
the example and the experience
of our neighbors in matters in
which we have little or no ex-
perience. And we respectfully
recommend to our police jury
that by taking a few days time
and the expenditure of a few
dollars they can secure informa-
ton that will be of great help to
themselves and benefit to the
parish. A report has lately been
made to the police jury of Rapides
parish by Mr.. Otis Collins, chair
man of the parish road commit
tee, in which he refers in high
terms to a machine they have
been using which is said to throw
up fair earth roads for about
$3.50 per mile, whereas by the
old plan they cost $26. 90 per mile.
In the use of machines it is al
ways necessary to remember that
they can only be used after the
removal of trees, stumps and
roots, and that this involves con-
siderable cost. Also bridges and
culverts have to be included in
the estimate of cost for all roads.
There is also considerable range
of difference in the cost of op-
Grating in the billy regions and
in the level river country.
The following is the report to
the Rapides parish police jury
referred to above.
Your committee is pleased to
report the successful operation of
the tractor, which was purchased
by the parish some time ago
from the international Harvester
people, for the purpose of redu-
cling. if possible, the cost of
building roads. This machine is
a Mogul 45 horse power gasoline
engine, flor which. the parish
paid So, 076.00 metz With this
tractor, the parish also purchas-
ed a grader, known as the Ad-
ans Reclamation Ditcher, which
might be termed a large road
machine. 1t is equipped with a
IL foot blade and has a capacity
to handle 300 cubit yards of dirt
per day and can easily be utilized

A reporter of the N. O. Plea
yune kicked up adevil of a muss
in the new 9Th Congressional
district, by making Attorney
General Pleasant say that the

March, 1915. 1t develops, how
ever, that the Picayune man got
his figures wrong, and the cor
rect reading should be 1913, /"
and so everybody is happy again.
