The prisoner was again interrogated
by the police authorities this morning.
He repeated his story of having stolen
the picture as an act of patriotic
vengeance for Napoleon's depreda-
tions in italy. He displayed the ut
most Indignation at his treatment by
the police, declaring it unjust, after
the risk he had run and the abnega-
