LONDON, Nov. I1.--Late advices from
life on the Italian liner Ancona tor
pedoed and sunk of Sardinia by an Aus
trian submarine Tuesday afternoon,
does not exceed $50.
The exact number OF Americans in
cluded in the Ancona's passenger list
and the number of those who perished
have not yet been established. despite
efforts on the part Of the American En-
bassy in Rome. 1t is estimated that be-
tween twenty and twenty-seven Ameri-
cans lost their lives.
Naples dispatches late tonight assert
that 3i7 out of the total OF 496 passen-
gers and crew have been landed, and
more boats are expected to reach safety.
A Rome despatch says the names and
the fate OF twenty-four American pas
sengers are unknown. An incomplete
list OF survivors includes l20 men. g,
women and IL children. among them an
American woman. Another American
survivor is Mrs. Cecile Greil. A second
list includes forty-six seamen, stokers
and stewards.
The conclusion reached here, based on
the stories OF the captain and other
survivors, Is that the shell fire attack
on the Ancona was made without warn
ing. that IL brought the liner TO "A dead
stop. and that time was given by the
submarine commander to allow the pas
sengers and crew to get into the life
boats.
Loss of Life Due to Shelf Fire.
1t was the shell fire. reports agree,
which resulted IN the great loss of life.
as ii caused "A panic among the pa Ssen-
gers. mostly women and children. who.
terror stricken, made a mad scramble for
, the boats. the consequence being that
many Of the boats capsized before they
could he rowed to safety only eight
boats are said to have got away.

rino, an American citizen, is among the

Besides, his ONLY explanations OF
where he had been was that lie

used his employers ms chine Cor the
purpose, The mans Drotcs items
of innocence amounted TO nothing.
His statements that George lA..
given him the wallet and that t35
was not too much money for cha uf-
fcur to carry had no effect. It seemed
a weird thing that, though arrested
on Hareigh's description, nc could
not have the benefit Of the denial
that he was the man.
They held him. and, in due time,
he was indicted by the grand jury
for murder. The prosecuting attor
ney laughed at our story quite as
heartily as the police lieutenant had
done. We begged him to postpone
the trial, to give HarleiSh chance
to look for the real criminal. We
argued that the ringing of the tee-
phone in the Nelson house at the
identical moment that Hamilton was
calling from the Brumair house was,
at least, circumstantial evidence in
our favor. Nothing We could say had
significance for the prosecuting mind.
Hamilton cursed him bitterly.
On the theory that the real MUIR

session of the court, searching for
his man. He never appeared.
The chauffeur, who liked to ride

alibi. was hanged by the rules of evil

books.
