FAMOUS CAMORRA TRIAL ENDS
ITALIAN COURT WAS IN SESSION
OVER a YEAR.


YIterbo, Italy, July 9.-The verdict
In the Camorra trial has just been re-
turned. Nine Of the accused were
unanimously declared guilty Of the
murder OF Gennaro Cuoccola and his
wife. The remainder OF the band
were found guilty Of belonging to q
criminal association.
OF the Al persons originally indicted
three never were captured, three died
during the trial, while 20 were hber-
ated during the trial as they already
had served the maximum time possible
for sentence In the event OF con-
viction.
Although the specific charge was the
murder OF Gennaro CuOccolo and MS
wife at Naples, the real object OF the
prosecution was a supreme attempt by
the government to break up the two
great criminal organizations In Italy,
the Camorra of Naples and the Malta
OF Sicily.
The Cuoccolo murder was COM
mitted June 6, 1906.
Members of the organization imme-
diately were arrested, but through the
fundamentally of Father Cicero Wit.
tezzi, a priest, were released only to
be rearrested later.
After nearly f1ve years Of work
Maesello Capizzuti, an Italian detec-
tive, got a confession from Gennardo
Abbatemaggio, one Of the members OF
the band, and his story had been the
chief reliance of the prosecution.
The trial finally began March IL,
1911, at viterbo. Weeks were required
to get the jury. owing to the fear OF
the Camorra.
When the actual trial began, there
were many sensational Interruptions
throughout the entire time Of the ses
sions.

CONVlCTS' MAKE GOOD ROADS
MIssouRPs EXPERIMENT PROV
ING A DECIDED SUCCESS.
Governor HadIey Highly Pleased, and
More viii be Used-None
Tried to Escape.

Jefferson city, July 1O.--AAter trial
of three weeks with gang OF con
victs employed upon the public high-
wavs of this county the experiment is
announced to be a decided success.
None of the convicts refused to work.
none OF them attempted to escape and
all have been doing nj 1t satisfactory
work. Gov. Hadley, believes that the
Improvement Of public highways Will
enable the counties to work local prls-
oners on the reads.
Convicts greatly prefer the outside
work. It is more healthful. In addi'
tion. there is the inducement OF
shortening their service. There are
now about 1900 men in the peniten-
tiary. Under the new law, 300 con-
yicts can be taken every year and en-
ployed upon the public highways un-
der direction of the various counties
There are now more than 1,7OO con-
victs working under the contract sys'
tenn. The state receives 70 cents q
dav for the labor of each of these CON
victs. BY the close OF the presen'
year nearly all of the old contracts
will have expired and will not be re
newed.
There will be q pretty heavy cos'
entailed upon the state when the last
contractor is out of the prison--some
where In the neighborhood Of 100000
The state can have no direct source o.
income from the labor Of the convicti
when the contract system ceases tt
exist. The counties which may EN-
ploy convicts upon the public high
way win pay nothing for their labol
except food and shelter. The recon
pense to the state will come in the
shape Of improved highways.
Missouri has never tried the plar
Of working prisoners on the public
highways before.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. s3o.-F1f-
ty years ago today took place one OF
the most important events in naval
history, the launching of the famous
iron-clad ship Monitor at Brooklyn.
The construction of this craft marked
the turning point in the great naval
transition from the old wooden war
ships to the modern battleships of the
dreadnought type.
The Monitor was the first fighter to
be equipped with a revolving turret. A
short time after she was completed
there took place between her and the
Merrimac in Hampton Roads the first
battle between armored warships. The
Merrimac was an old wooden vessel
converted by the Confederate Govern
ment into an iron-clad ram. The result
of the contest between the two vessels
was somewhat Of a draw" but II set
tied the question OF the superiority OF
any kind Of iron-clad ship over the old
wooden men-of-war. Immediately the

There is nothing more Interesting
than to come across unexpectedly an
intimate and gossipy letter that one
wrote oneself ten or fifteen years ago.
In reading such letter one is looking
at oneself from the outside. The proc
ess is a good deal like looking out Of
the window and seeing oneself go past
In the crowd. The strange part of the
matter is that in reading such a docu-
ment one Is generally filed with sort
of pity for the fellow who wrote 1t.
He seems to have been rather uncer.
tain of himself. He CROPPED for his
facts and his ideas. Evidently he did
not know much. He was merely an
imperfect adumbration Of the admira-
BILE person who is now overlooking his
correspondence, eh? That Is the first
impression. But presently one feels
differently about 1t. Those half baked
opinions may now have hardened into
dogmas. We may now be cocksure
Of what once We only surmised. But
who is so hopelessly wrong as the
cocksure man? II the person one
was fifteen years ago could contem-
plate effectively the person one Is

blind dogmatist more than we pity the
