BULLET FIRED WAS
 OF A FOREIGN MAKE
Caruso Alleged to Have Admitted
 Stabblnq Policeman,

Salem, Mass, Oct. 31.--That the bull let which ended the life of Anna Lo- piZzo during a Lawrence textile strike riot was of foreign make and could not have been fired from a revolver of American manufacture; that Joseph Caruso confessed to detective whom he thought friend. that he stabbed policeman during the same riot; and that officials of the Industrial Workers of the World advised violence and disregard of law" in industrial disputes. were features in the closing testimony offered by the commonwealth today in the trial of Ettor, Giovannitti and Caruso for the Lopizzo murder.
 District Attorney AttWil read to the jury pamphlet alleged to have been written by Vincent St. John of Chica go, general secretary of the l. W. W. This pamphlet. which was found at the Lawrence strike headquarters, was admitted in evidence by Judge Quinn, despite objection by the defense. In the pamphlet the commonwealth main tains is advice to workers to disregard the law.
 Capt. W. H. Proctor of the ~Massa- chusetts district police and two experts on cartridges and revolvers. gave tes- timony that the bullet found in Anna
 
 manufacture, and Captain Proctor said the only type of revolver he was able to discover which fired that kind of bullet was a No. g Italian revolver. Asked by attorneys for the defense why he had picked out an Italian re- volver, Captain Proctor said the only foreign-Inade revolYurs he had found in use in this country were of Ital- ian and Belgian manufacture. The Belgian revolver. he said, would not fire a bullet like the one in evidence.
 Testimony which was unexpected apparently by the defense came when Louis LaCourt, an Italian detective, who said he worked himself into the good graces of Caruso after the Lo- pizzo killing, declared the defendant had told htm he stuck a knife into a big, fat policeman" during the riot of January 29. This was the day that Policeman Benoit was stabbed and the Lopizzo woman was shot.
