DOOMED MAN DENIES
HE IMPLICATED GIRL
Defense in Cranberry Bog"
Murder Trial Forces lraca
to Admit He Lied
MT. HOLLY. y. j., Dec. IS.

VI I. ll''lslJhs 49, 49,
The strong move by the defense to
break up the charge made yesterday py
Giovanni Iraca that Mil ie de Marco was
ono of the conspirators and aided ma
tcriallv in clrrying out the plans for
the Rider hold-up and murder was the
interesting development at todays tria!
of the girl under an indictment for mur-
der and being an accessory before ana
after the fact,
Tho defense's rigid cross-eNamination
of the condemned Iraca showed that he
had lied in every stttement he had made
and that he never accused Mile of being
a conspirator until after she had testi-
fled against him and aided the state in
cOnviCting him. His accusation SOUNDED
like revenge.
Iraca did not charge Millie with being
on the scene of the murder but accused
her of helping to make the arrangements
through her uncle Tony Ritzo, employed
at the Rider cranberry bogs, and giving
information about payday for the picK-
ers The condemned man admitted be-
longing to a family of murderers, saying
his mother and brother are in jail IN
italy for murder. He virtually cleared
Frank I.edonne and Frank Nassella, in
( jail here, Of connection with the case.
! He said that he made all arrangements
/ with them for an automobile trip 10
Atsion and that they were only chauff-
eurs and did not know what they were
| going for
The defense will attempt TO show the
jury that Mile was not conspirator
and that she was on the trip to Atslon
because Iraca asked her to take ride
and she feared to refuse him knowing
that he belonged to a bad gang lr
statements admitted in court this morn
! ing she made this claim at the time OF
her arrest and adheres to it in her effort
to gain freedom.

SOME THINGS
ABOUT DELAWARE
AS Cited By Doctor Layton

AS Lifted by Doctor Layton
Delaware, the second smallest
state, is the fourth richest state in
the Union.
Proportionately, there are more
millionaires in Delaware, than in
any State in the Union.
There are enough fish in Della
ware waters to sustain a million
Japs with little rice thrown in.
Seventy-tive percent of the total
income of the State would be re-
quired were we to make Delaware
schools as efficient as either Mas
sachusetts or Minnesota.
New Castle often seems to us in
Sussex to be looking north all the
time. If two men pass on the
street and one shows no DISPOSE
ton to neighborliness, they soon
grow to let each other alone. Sus-
sex county comprises 48 2-3 per
cent Of the land area of the state.
New Castle can't afford to neglect
that. We must rise or fall by our
own cohesiveness.
