Not less than five years in the
penitentiary was the sentence pro-
nounced upon Amdando Fazio,
convicted of robbery from the
person, by Judge Card Saturday.
This ruling followed an argu-

Frank Latcham, who said the evil

that he could not understand
what the jury had in mind when
1t convicted him.
Fazio cannot afford an appeal

This great city of 100000

The great wealth of Argentine

Aside from this, however
Buenos Aires has industries OF
it's own. The first sight which
