CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-"If the Uni ted States believes I have ever thot. written or done anything to harm her I want to be punished. I don't want to be interned, or sent back to Italy. want the United States to hang me publicly in Michigan Avenue"
 This was the declaration here of Count Jas. Ninetto, son-in-law of L. F. Swift. multimillionaire packer in protesting his innocence of pro-Ger- man charges that led to his arrest by federal authorities.
 Count Minotto admitted he had met Count von Bernstorff. former ambas- sador to the United States and Count von Luxburg. former minister to Ar gentina, but declared he had met them only in a business way. He denied he had any idea who the New York banker is who has been threatened with arrest since the disclosures in connection with the Minotto case and also denied knowing Ensign Dunbar, officer on an American submarine, who has been arrested.
