on the famous proceeding.
Detective Assists Judge
"This is in reality what Detective
Grigg has as his mission IN lnVeSu CAV
ing the affair" he continued; ne mas
offered 10 assist me and the Italian po-
lice in unearthing all the details OF the
crime now under investigation; Dut,
fortunately or fortunately, our law ad-
mits of no exception on this point. AS

THE law is equal for all mus, as
long as the Investigation lasts, no one
can be allowed TO interfere with II al
rectly or indirectly. | hope America
will not take offence If, while we are
not allowing even the accuseds lawyer
TO see the papers in the case or inter-
rogate the prisoner, we forbid the rep

This means long delay.
"In conclusion" ended Judge Zuc-
r~cSa with a smile, although the pres
c,7re of Detective Grieg and so many
American correspondents here is most
pleasant. I believe that at present, and
for some time to come, all might be
better employed elsewhere
Sirnor Venturini, COcchi's counsel,
has been taken i'll. His inability to see
the prisoner or the prosecutors docu,
ments seems to have affected him and
brought about something resembling
nervous prostration. He declared the
obstructive processes of the prosecutor
were outrageous.
Cocchi Has Faith in Lawyer
Cocchi's faith in the cleyerness and
rcsourccfulness of his lawyer is report
ed 20 be increasing. and he is said to
have hopes that his attorney VIII be
able to advance evidence suihelent 10
convince the jury of his desperate
ard unbalanced state of mind when he
committed the crime.
Father Prospero Perpicari, chaplain
OF the prison Of San Giovanni in Monte,
visited Cocchi Saturday morning for
the first time. The priest, who has
dedicated his life to reform work
among criminals. seemed much moved
when he returned from the cell.
Father Perpicari said he had given
the authorities h pledge which would
prevent him repeating the substance OF
his conversation with the prisoner.
Cocchi had asked to see him, he eX
planned. and the Kings Procurator had
permitted the visit The priest thought
the interview had been beneficial to the
prisoner. as he seemed in better spirits
when they parted.
Cocchi's Cell Changed
Cocchi, who originally was placed in
Cell No. 5, has now been removed to
No. 6s. which is safer. Signor Liccioli,
the director of the prison, said to-day
that in TIE fifty years since the monas-
terry of San Giovanni, in Monte, was
turned INTO a prison only one escape
had occurred.
Each prisoner is known by a numbe;
instead of a name. Cocchi's number is
1892. The prison books have an en-
try showing COcchi to have been taken
there on June II.
