Pierre, $. D.-With the approach
OF election time tbc state legal de
partent is being called upon to settle
questions pertaining 10 the acts Of
franchise, one being the status OF
the unorganizcd counties in relation
to primaries for the selection OF par
ty nominees for county offices. The
law fixes the number of names al
lowed upon petitions, at not more
than five per cent, and not less than
II per cent of the party vote cast
for governor in the county at the
last previous election. There is nc
other basis fixed. Now as there was
no vote for governor in any OF the
counties organized since the last
general election. there is no basis on
which to fix the number of names
which should appear upon "a petition,
and the attorney generals depart
ment holds that so far as county of
iicers are concerned in such counties,
they must become such candidates
by petition at the general election
the same as they did at the election
for organization, and after Il vote
for governor is secured they can
come under the primary.

ALFANO, LEADER OF BAND,
WAS CAUGHT By PETROSiNO.

The leader OF the Camorra. Enr!co
Alfano. known as Errlcone. was arrested
In Brooklyn and was taken on board a
steamer to Europe by Lieut.. Joseph Pc
trosino. a detective of the New York
POLICE Department. and was handed over
to the Italian police at Havre. France.
Lieut. Petrosino was afterward assas-
sinated at Palermo. and the crime was
laid on the shoulders OF the Camorr!sts.
The Italian prosecuting authorities
found II difficult to obtain evidence. but
one OF the Camorrists. Gennaro Aboate-
maggie. turned informer. and his evil
dence has finally led to the conviction
OF the prisoners.
over 700 witnesses were heard during
the trial, but not much was learned
from their evidence. The members Of
the Camorra accused the Carablneers OF
fabrlcating the evidence in order to
fasten the crime upon the members Of
the Camorra.
Some remarkable scenes have been
witnessed during the trial. The pris-
oners were confined In an iron cage
In the court and among them was
priest, Giro Vitozzi, in his clerical
garments. Among the forty-two pris-
oners originally brought to trial there
was one woman. Maria Stendardo.
Throughout the trial the accused gem
orally exhibited defiant demeanor.
Some OF them ragged. while on occa-
sions they hurled storms of invective
at the Judge. Abbatemaggio. the in
former, was placed In a cage by HIM
self in the court strongly guarded by
police. Altogether the trial stirred
Italy in a remarkable way and caused
