CRIMINAL TRIALS IN ITALY

This Country.

The reports in American papers OF
thc trial Of the Camorrists al Yiterbo

system is Hike There is q systeyi,
and 4 very simple one it Is, though ut

iish courts. says an exchan sc.
The trial axes place before three
judges and a Jury, to which are added
certain number OF extra jurors who
are sworn ard arc present ii court 10

ready to take the place in the Jury
box Of any juror who may ia the
course of the trial be incapacitated
from further service. The dispositions
Of an the witnesses have been taken
in writing ana signed before the trial

OF these before him The prosecutor
and tho counsel for the accused fur

nasses they desire called, and these
are summoned all by the oougt. which
has power to punish nonattendancc.
The first thing that happens when
the trial begins is the questioning Of
the accused by the presiding justice.
In Italy, as in most oil continental
Europe, man accused of a crime is
considered by the law to be the very
best witness 10 his own guilt Of inno-
cence. In England and America the
accused need not testify unless he
choose in Italy he is the first aad
most important witness.
The accused is allowed the widest
scope in defending himself He has
q right to tell his own story in bis
own way, to offer anything he can IN
the way Of Justification or haliiatiou;
even hearsay evidence is admissible.
The Judge has absolute discretion as
to what testimony may be received

judges on the bench with him, and
they are a perfect check against I'M

When the accused has given his tes-
timony he is confronted personally

necessarily the principal witness
against him. strictly speaking, the
prisoner has no right to interrupt his
accuser, while tho latter is telling his
story. but in practice the judges per-

times becomes a throecornered de-
hate between accuser, accused and
Judge, the latter giving the accused
the widest lceway to demonstrate his
innocence.-Case and Comment

TO EXPLORE THE DEAD SEA
German Expedition Has Started TO in"
vestigate Mysteries of That
Body Of Water.

Isn't 1t a remarkable fact that so
little is known about the Dead sea-
supposed scene of one of the greatest
tragedies in all history? A German
expedition is on its way thither
equipped with large motor boat and
modern sounding apparatus, Only two
expeditions have preceded this one.
The first was fitted out by an Ameri-
can, Lieutenant Lynch, in 1913, and
was rather more thorough in its
work than would have been expected
before the days of motor craft and
deep sounding apparatus. The sec
ond exploration was made in 1864 by
the duke de Iuynes, but did not conf
pare in efficiency with the Lynch in
vestigatlons.
TO anybody who has seen the Dead
sea at close quarters the surprising
thing is that it does not contain any
animal life. The Sea OF Tiberias is
prolific in fish, and the Jordan must
carry large quantities of them into the
| Dead sea. What becomes of them ?
is there an outlet? If so, where does
it empty? Like the Caspian. II is
lower than the Mediterranean sea.
Seen from the Mount Of Olives on a
clear day, due east, the Dead sea
looks like a magnificent body Of wa
ter--very green under the SUMS rays;
| but near at hand one has the impress
sion that he is gazing upon stagpant
| filthy pool Not only is the water set
urated with salt and many other min
eral substances, but coating Of btu
minous, glue.like scum is near the
shore, unless strong wind has
driven 1t into the lake. The feeiile
of the body, after leaving the water
is highly disagreeabe.
Some people with sensitive skins
suffer from a RASH like the sting 81
nettles, after taking dip in the filth.
pond. Whence comes this oIeaginou!
scum? Likely rs not there is n dc
post of bitumen somewhere in the re
gion, similar to that greatest physlca
mystery on earth-the Trinidad LAX
of pitch. Or there may be petroleum
among those desoate hills. At Baku
on the western shore Of the Caspian
sea, are the greatest spouting oil wei
on earth. Brooklyn Eagle.

Fairness Wins.

That it pays to be fair with en-
ployes was illustrated recently in the
New York financial district. A young
man who had worked for large
house for three years was forced to
remain at home two days because OF
Illness. He had never been absent
from his desk day during the entire
time, not even for summer vacation
Nevertheless, when he received his
salary envelope the amount OF two
days pay had been deducted.
The boy was indignant and resigned
on the spot. The following day he
closed deal involving 100000 which
would have meant a clear profit o.
$4,000 to TIE firm he had just left
The young man turned the business
over to rival house and was given Q
position. His contract calls for double
the salary he had received at the olC
house and stipulates that he is to re
ceive one months vacation each sum
mer with full pay.
