STATE READY FOR
BLOOD EVIDENCE

| imprecation, the text of which was
| lost in the excitement that prevailed,
as counsel for both State and defense
| sought to make capital out of the re-
marks passed between the accused
and his sister-in-law.
/ The phrase, HE should have vom-
tied blood" Is literal translation of
the woman's remarks but in effect
it was a curse hurled at Ceceriello
because he was not dead just as her
| sister was.
Frank M. McDermit, counsel for
| Ceceriello, has been making a per-
| sistent effort to connect the name of
John Viola, who on the same morn
ing that the body of Mrs. Cecerielle
was found cut and hacked almost to
pieces in q vacant lot in Chester ave-
nue., Bloomfield, was found in Bloom
| field badly cut on the head and body.
with wounds that apparently were In
flicted with a Ratchet.
! Viola was removed to st. Michael's
Hospital, this city. and shortly after
being received there committed sui
eide by jumping from second-story
window.
From Mrs. Ferrara Mr.. McDermit
attempted to obtain today state
ments that Viola had been an ac-
cepted sutton of her sister before her
marriage to Ceceriello, and that her
parents and relatives were angry
with her when she married Ceceriello
instead of Viola.
A prompt objection on the part of
Mr. Mott resulted in the testimony
from the records. A similar fate has
met every effort so far of McDermit's
to get Viola's name into the case.
Testimony leading up to the pro-
duction of the bloody imprint Of g
finger tip found on the handle Of the
Ratchet, with which 1t Is alleged Mrs
Alvira Ceceriello was murdered or
May 80 last. took up the morning
l hearing of the second day of the trta
