 The president of the court was Bianchi. Among the prisoners was priest, Giro Vitozzi, in his clcri- cal garments. Among the forty-two prisoners, of whom many died be- fore the trial was ended, there was but one woman, Maria Stendardo. Throughout the trial the accused generally exhibited defiant de- meanor Some of them ragged, while on other occasions they hurled storms of invective at the judge
 The evidence produced was most ly trying to prove the whereabouts of the criminals at the dates of the meetings and the day of the mur- der. Denials were hurled wholesale, and in some instances, but for the alertness of the gendarmes. riot would have broken out. In one case Alfano yelled: "Abbatemaggio, you deserve thirty years in prison your self"
 Testifying against Sortino as one of the actual assassins of Cuocolo, Abbatemaggio said that Sortino had said everything in his evidence false tn1 hoy wise, Abbatemaggio said with bow and mock difference:

across the intrepid "Tex' on a Para

travelling UP the Paraguay river, just
before he entered the Brazilian wilder

House Measure With Amendment for
Disposal OF Money Passed
the Senate

Washington. June 2l.-The admin
isuation proposal TO sell the battle
ships Idaho and Mississippi TO Greece
already approved by the Senate. was
passed yesterday by the House by a
vote of la TO 81. One dreadnought
will be built with the proceeds. The
action of the House allows the House
managers in conference to agree to
the Senate amendment. with aHera.
tions providing specific appropriate
ions for the new dreadnought which
will cost s7.sOO.OOO exclusive OF arm
or and armament. The proposal pro-
vides immediate funds OF $2.6S5. 900
TO begin work on the vessel as soon
as the sale is consummated.
The proposal was agreed TO in
spite of the charge by republicans on
the floor that the sale meant "entangl.
ing European alliances" and would
involve the United States in the Bal.
kan troubles. Representative Pad.
gett declared that the administration
believed the sale of the two vessels
would have tendency TO preserve
the peace" between the nations inyol-
we'd, and asserted that he knows of no
protest against the sale being made
by either country.
Secretary Daniels is anxious to for
ward the sale of the battleships be-
cause Greece would pay S12,0O0,0O0
which is full cost price for vessels
that are 10 years old. The secretary
would use the money thus obtained
to pay for building another dread
nought similar to the Wyoming. Sec
rotary Daniels said yesterday when
the cabinet assembled that Turkeys
protest against the sale of the battle.
ships Mississippi and Idaho to Greece
had not altered his view. nor that of
the admintration in favor of the sale.
Republican Leader Mann wanted
to amend the proposal so as to turn
the money from the sale of the two
ships into the treasury. Representa-
tive Burnett of Albania wanted il
spent for post roads. His amend
ment was quickly voted down and the
House went into twohours' debate.
The Mann amendment was defeated.
l54 to 1903. a vote was then ordered
on the motion of Representative
Pargett TO agree to the sale of the
ships. On a rising vote it was adopt
ed, l24 to 81, but roll-call was de-
manded.
The Turkish ambassador, Rustem
Bey, who protested to the president
Monday that acquisition of the Ameri
can ships would unduly enlarge the
naval power of Turkeys rival, did not
care to discuss the matter yesterday.
He declined to indicate whether a
further protest will be made by Tur-
| key.
