Assistant District Attorney Train
took the witness stand himself in the
morning session He told of the exam
ination of Abarno and Carbone by In
spcctor Faurot at Headquarters, which
he attended. The court allowed him to
refresh his memory" from a steno-
graphic report of the questions asked
at the time, and he was thus able TO
get into the record practically YER
batim report of the admissions made
by the prisoners.
In reply to objections by the oppos-
ing counsel Mr. Train admitted that
Abarno and Carbone had not been in
structed as TO their rights in giving
evidence or obtaining counsel, but
maintained that i, was not necessary.
During the examination. Mr. Train
said. Abarno told them he had decided
to walk out of the Cathedral without
lighting the bomb. because there were
too many people there, and he did not
want to kill anybody. but only destroy
property. Abarno said the plan origi-
mated with the three participants and
was only protest"
A long discussion Oh matters anar-
chistic, Mr.. Train said, revealed many
interesting features of the defendants
life. Among these was the fact tina!
Abarno was a good Catholic before the
influence of various anarchis speak
ers and papers led him to believe that
people who believe in a God are
wrong"
Mr.. Train offered in evidence sam
pies Of anarchiStic literature found in
the possession of Abarno and Carbone
The works consisted chiefly of violent
attacks on society and religion.
When Detective Pulignano left The
courtroom during the noon recess he
was made the centre OF demonstra-
ton by anarchists in the corridor out
side. He was conducted TO the street
by a detail of Central Office detectives,
while uniformed officers from the Eliz7
abeth Street station cleared the halls
of all questionable characters.
Abarno's father and mother are
among the witnesses to be called by the
defence. and on that account they can
not be admitted to the trial. The
mother. not understanding the strange
customs which bar her from going to
her son when he is in trouble, has per
sisted in staying close by the door OF
the courtroom since the trial began.
