counsel for the defence made the usual
motion that the case be dismissed. This
he based on the ground that the two
defendants had been led into crime by
the deliberate action OF the ponce
Judge Mott refused TO grant ".
In the opening address for the de-
fence Simon O. Pollock asserted that
Pulignano had been the guiding spirit
in the bomb plot. instigating ana

The two Italian boys, whom he forced
TO help him by threatening them with

Abarno TO the Cathedral and urged
him on when at last Abarno tried to
back out, by saying to him: Coward,
come on.
The attorney also said he would
proye that Abarno was walking out OF
the Cathedral with the bomb under MS
coat when arrested.
The earlier part OF the afternoon ses-
sion was occupied with the testimony
of Italian adherents OF the Bresci
group. all Of whom testified that they
had heard Pulignano urge the mem.
hers TO commit violence instead OF
spending their time in futile talking.
Each of the half dozen witnesses said
that Csrbone had been with Pulignano
when the detective made his infiamma-
tory remarks.
Blames Detective for All.
Mr.. Pollock then called Carbone him
self rs a witness. The eighteen-year-
old Italian lad was pallid and trembling
as he took the oath. Throughout his
testimony he appeared extremely ner-
vous. His thin hands, the left one
manned, with half the thumb missing
and the fingers misshapen, were never
still. He gesticulated continually while
talking. and showed q disposition 10
tell the whole story without prompt
ing by his attorney. His voice was
strained and harsh. and the food of
Italian which he poured into the inter
prefers car was at times almost In
Grticulate.
He represented himself as a weak
minded. helpless dupe in the hands Of
an INSCRIPTIONS detective, doing his
bidding reluctantly. but forced by some
mysterious power TO obey him.
After his first meeting with Pulig-
nano at the Brcsci Circle. Carbone
testified. the detective sought him
out at 1.139 Second Avenue, where he
worked in a shoe repairing shop. and
insisted that Carbone accompany him

Square the next Sunday. After the
p,tl u
walk up Fifth Avenue.
"He stopped in front OF oil the
churches" the witness continued, "and
said. Boo! Boo! Boot This is the
place TO throw bombs He made mo-
tons as il he was throwing bombs.
He did the same way in front of the
hotels where people were eating in
side. When we got to st. Patrick's
Cathedral, he stopped and sang a song
at it in English. | don't know what
the song was about. said to myself,
Here is a crazy man.
When approached by Pulignano on
making bombs and blowing up St
Patricks Cathedral, Carbone said he
refused TO have anything to do with
the scheme. According TO his testi-
mony, the detective told him, Don't
say you won't do it. | belong TO
tough gang. am an anarchist, and
if you don't help me, will denounce
YOU as a spy and we will cut your face
as we did the face Of the spy in Pater-
SON."
Carbone insisted he had nothing to
do with the purchase Of the bomb ma
terials; that he had never given the
money to procure them, nor had he
promised to do so.
The Sunday that the bombs were
made, the young Italian asserted, Pull
ignano literally dragged him to the
room by sheer force. There he made
the lad write out the slip for the anti
mony which the detective presented
to the druggist.
Before the alleged bomb makers
testimony was concluded, Mr.: Pollock
moved an adjournment, pleading that
his client was in the care of a ply
stefan and was over-exerting himself in
talking at such length. Carbone will
take the stand again to-day.
