Annie CiCCOne Tells
About Mothers Guilt

English when she did not understand
a question or became excited.
The child and mother rode down
together today from the House of
Detention in the prison van, but it
was noticeable that the child did not
speak to the mother as she climbed
into the narrow van. Neither did the
mother seem to pay the slightest at
tention to the child, and made no
move to speak to her or caress her.
AS the child was on the witness
stand yesterday afternoon the mother
never once looked in her direction,
but kept her eyes steadily averted.
The mother does not understand
English, and it was only when the
child would repeat part of, con-
versation in the Italian tongue that
the mother would know the damaging
tale her daughter was telling against
her. Even then not the slightest
motion would betray any feeling on
the part of the mother.

her husband because she was told
to do SO by Fiore.
No Promise of cIemency to Her.
The confession was obtained at the
county jail on April last by County
Detective Antonio DeRogatis and
Court Interpreter Joseph Federico,
and was given voluntarily by the
woman. the court officials stated on
the witness stand, when the confess
sion was proved as evidence, that
Mrs. Cieeone had been told when she
made the confession that everything
the trial, and that there had been no
promise of clemency or immunity
made to her.
No particular effort was made by
Frank NJ. McDermit, counsel for Mrs
Ciccone, to prevent the adm lssion Of
the confession.
"She made the statement volun-
tariy." said Detective DeRogatis
today. She said she was sorry for
what she had done to her husband
and wanted TO tell the truth. Then
she made a statement which was
later reduced to writing and is the
paper produced here"
Such parts of the confession as are
printable are given herewith:
