confined in," explained Mr.. Mott to
the court.
"You can find out by other MEANS"
said Judge Martin and Mr.. Mott then
asked Laudisi how long he had been
confined in the Jail. "Ten months and
| ten days today" replied Laudisi, who
In response 20 another question said
he had been confined in "murderers'
row" for that time and then i'm
mediately corrected himself by say
ing II was ten months in the muir
der place The last ten days | was
separated"
Interpretation Causes Clash.
Rev. Bismarck j. Coltorti, of Olivet
Chapel of the First Presbyterian
Church, acting as interpreter in the
case, had considerable difficulty In
translating into the English language
the exact words of the witness, and
there were frequent clashes between
| the interpreter and Mr.. McDermit
and William o. Azzoli, the latter's
Italian assistant, as to the exact
words used by Laudisi.
But it was startling story of cor
roboration of the facts already
brought out by the State that Lau-
dist finally told. He said he had his
! first conversation with L. Ceceriello
on June last, and that after that for
three months he had conversations
with him from morning until night,
all day long"
Laudisi then spoke of conversa-
lions he had had with Ceceriello in
which Charles Mack, a negro, con-
fined In 'Murderers' row" for killing
his wife with an axe, was a partici-
pant, but nothing of material value
developed from this line of examina-
ton, except that In one of the con-
versations Ceceriello stated that he
had gone back to look at the body of
his wife after he had left her lying on
! the ground and had gotten blood
stains on his fingers.
He told me he was very jealous
because he didn't like to see the chill
dren beaten by their Aunt Elvira
II said to him: Why did you cut
your wife to pieces; why didn't you
use revolver He said: If / used
revolver the shot would be heard
II asked him where he put the re-
volver. He said: I put the revolver
in my brothers clohts and threw the
bullets away, so the authorities could
not find anything in the store

in Jail and took a sweater and shirt
away from Angelo. Angelo said ito
me: I put on my black shirt just to
make fool of the law. When | went
to funeral of my wife / tainted but
was really not fainting, only to de-
celve the people.
Recalling further conversations
Laudisi said that once Angelo had
told hi mthat after the night the muir
der was committed his sister-in- law
said to him, with whom you had
trouble, you are covered with blood.
HE answered to his sister-in-law
Help me, save me; l did kill my
wifel And they told him to wasl
up and undress and his brother gav'
him trousers.
They burned the clothes in tn,
night in the stove, Angelo told me,
said Laudisi. Ceceriellos story o
the murder In his own words, ac
cording to Laudisi. were as follows
THAT day, Thursday, my wife mos
all day in the shoemaker's store, an
all day | was worrying, and tol
her In the evening we would go on
for q walk.
THAT evening | let her go out IF
teen minutes before me from tn
store. Then / go out after her

and bottle of whiskey.
II told her to walk over the gras
and we would talk. l talked to he
for while and then 1 started
fight with her because she was
, the shoemaker's all day. Why al
you Jealous? He is some relation {
mine, my wife answered. Then
drank the whiskey and struck hi
