trial fof former Deputy Street Clean
ing mlssioner Michael A. Rofrano
for instigatlng the murder.
Montenegro. testifying for the
State. said Rofrano and his associates
had bribcd and bulldozed him into fore
ing tho murder. He said he had thus
informed Cuoci and Assemblyman Co.
sare Barra, his attorneys. He for
maliy waived his rights TO require
them to keep secret anything no had
said to them. Tho first questions OF
Mr.. Littleton were directed to Monte
magno's statement.
Q. Did Montemagno ever tell you.
or tell Cesare Barra in your presence,
that Rofrano urged him to kill Cal
mari? A. No. He never even ad-
mitted to us that he was guilty OF
the murder.
Q. Did Assistant District Attorney
Dooling call on you after this tes-
timony OF Montenegro here. and
what did you toll .him7 A. told him
Montenegro was a liar.
Q. Did you see Montenegro after
his conviction A. Yes with MIR.
Barra.
Q. Did he then admit his guilt ?
A. No. He broke down and cried and
said he had heard a man convicted
OF felony within Ave years after his
arrival In this country could be
deported. He begged US to have him
sent back TO Italy.
Q. Did you or Mr.. Barra ever tell
Montenegro that II he and Frank
Fennimore and Carnivale kept quiet

Q. Did Mr.. Barra say TO him: you
know how 1t 10 when a man has a
knife under his chin. II he keeps
his head up he will not be hurt. II ne
opens his jaw his throat win be cut
and he will die. Keep your mouth
shut?" A. No: nothing like that.
Cuoci got into an angry wrangle with
Assistant District Attorney Brothers
on cross-eSamination. The witness
told of advertising for witnesses OF the
Llurder and said Porcaro and Demar,
witnesses for Montemagno. had an
swered the advertisement. Both af-
terward pleaded guilty to perjury.
Q. Did not Joe Brondini bring
them to your ONCE? A. That's a lie
and you know It.
Q. Don't you insult me: didn't ne

you insult mo! No. He was never

| @. Why. Mr.. Cuoci. now why
does the mention OF Brondini's name
make you so excitcd2 A. read In
the papers Brondini was the one sup
posed to have bribed them to perjure
themselves.
Mr.. Brothers got Mr.. Cuoci to ad-
init that Mr.. Barra in summing UP for
Montenegro. said the now confessed
ASSASSIN was the innocent victim" Of
plot OF former Sheriff Thomas Foley
against Rofrano. Barra said in his
summing up: Instead OF calling this
case the State vs., Montemagno 1t
should be called the Thos. A Foley
Association VS.. Michael A. Rofrano."
To Mr.. Littleton. Mr.. Cuoci said
that when Brondini was tried for
suborning perjury Mr.. Brothers said
to the witness: I'VE In the District
Attorneys Office know Brondlni never
came TO your office; we know he took
the perjured witnesses to your door
and sent them In"
Mr.. Littleton remarked that the
quotation OF Mr.. Barra's summing up
In the Montenegro case opened the
way for a quotation from Mr.. Broth
erss summing up In the Montenegro
! trial. He then read TO the witness a
| part of Mr. Brothcrs's speech TO tho
/ Jury in which the Assistant District At
torney said Montemagno was too low
and vile liar TO be believed by any
jury. and was not the type OF man
the District Attorney would ever use

TO indict Rofrano. saying there was
no evidence against him and that any
