MAN CHARGED AS
BOMB PLOTTER IS
TAKEN BY POLICE
Wife, Who Says He's Guilty
Later Regrets Her
Accusations

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 24.-Dom-
mick Costerella, charged by his wife

Chicago federal building and with
having made and placed the bomb
which wrecked the Milwaukee police
station a year ago last November,
costing ten lives, has been arrested

Last night Mrs. Costerella, in tears
and n panic for fear the Italians
of the colony will end her life, de-
clares that when she made the
charges AGAINST her husband she was
only trying to make the police find
him by filing the mos tserious
charge against him that she could
dream.
Others whom tn ewoman accuses
of having been associated with him
in these crimes, as we'll as in several
murders and robberies, are being
held by the police to face Costrella
when he is brought back from the
east.
Back of the arrest, according to
the police, is the manner in which
a woman, deserted, played Nemesis,
and finally in revenge, caused the
arrest of her husband for having
deserted her and her baby.
Tfe following charges were made
by Mrs. Costrella:
That Dominick made and placed
the bomb which killed nine patrol
men and one woman at the police
station November "a, 1917.
That he did this in hope of kill
ing Detectives Paul Weller and AL
bert Templin, who arrested and
secured the conviction OF his brother,
Bruno Costerella, 25 years old on
a charge of white slavery. Bruno
Costerella was convicted and sem
fenced to four years at Fort Leaven-
worth, November 2, 1917.
That Costerella's brother sent the
bomb which wrecked the Chicago
postoffice from Duluth, Mimi, to
Chicdgo, an dthat Dominick, her
husband, was implicated in the
affair.

IS DISRUPTED

is to wipe out of existence the
National Guard 1t was organized
prior to the war.
The opinion. rendered by Bigadier
General Samuel T. Ansell, who has
been acting judge advocate general
since Major Geenral Crowder was
appointed provost marshal general,
to handle the draft, was made pub
lie to-day by the War Department.
General March, chief of stag, on
December 20. asked for an opinion
as to the status of members of the
National Guard subsequent to their
discharge from the federal service.
His memorandum called attention
to digest of an opinion of the judge
advocate general dated January,
1918, in which 1t was said that when
the guardsmen were mustered
out" of the federal service, they
would revert to their militia status
and also to their status in the Ma
tional Guard.
General Ansell in his decision
pointed out that this opinion was
based on muster out and not upon
discharge, and added:
"As a matter of fact, the opinion
in the digest in which this sentence
occurs holds without qualification
that the draft of member of the
National Guard into the federal serv-
ice absolutely discharges him from
the militia which includes the Ma
tional Guard. Furthermore, this of
flee has held that a commission in
the temporary forces is incompat-
ible with u commission in the Ma
tional Guard and operates to cancel
the commission in the National
Guard.
1T is, therefore, the opinion of
this office that former members OF
of the National Guard, both officers
and enlisted men, who entered the
service by draft under the Presi-
dents proclamation of July 8. 1917.
will, when d scharged from the fed
oral service, revert to a civilian
status. and vii lnot revert to their
former status as members of the
National Guard.
AAtSNEAtS 1ttiAC ~ W. >
The opinion at the State Capitol is
that the ennsylvania Reserve Mill
tia, consisting of three regiments of
infantry and four troops of cavalry
and organized soon after the Ma
tional Guard went into Federal SER
vice, will become the nucleus of a
new National Guard as a result of
the opinion of the Judge advocate
general of the Army. Legislation
with this object in view is being
drafted. The act of June %, 1917,
creating the Reserve Militia pro-
vided: whenever the Pennsylvania
National Guard shall have been re-
stored to state status or shall be
enabled to resume its state organi-
cation thereupon the term of serv-
ice of the Pennsylvania Reserve Mill
tia shall cease and determine, sub
ject to the discretion of the Cover
nor as to the time and manner in
which the same shall be mustered
out, which may be either us one
whole body as BY separate units"

all of whom were peaceably disposed civilians of the city of Houston.
 Very searching and thorough inves- legations were made into the riot, It's causes and the actions of the persons who participated, with the result that three groups of soldiers were tried by court martial, the cases being known respectively as the Nesbit, the Wash ington and Tillman casess
 The records of these trials have been carefully examined by the judge advocate general and the secretary of war and they disclose that in each instance the court was properly con stituted. was composed of officers 'of experience and sobriety of judgment and the rights of the defendants were surrounded at every point by those safeguards which an humane admin istration of the law accords to those charged with grave offenses. No legal errors, prejudicing the rights of the accused, have been found; indeed, the seriousness of the cases appears to have challenged the attention of the military authorities from the outset ana extraordinary precautions were bdhCh lO luSuiC bhS ldiihCoS Ol Nuo trials.
 "The Nesbit case was first tried. It resulted in the acquittal of five of the defendants and the conviction of the remainder, with four sentenced to brief terms of Imprisonment, forty-one sentenced to life imprisonment and thirteen to death. These death Aen- tences were reviewed by the com manding general of the southern divi- sion and executed.
 Later, the Washington and Tillman cases proceeded to trial, involving all together forty-five persons, and re- sulting in death sentences imposed upon sixteen and imprisonment upon the remainder for various terms of years. cXcI 2t as to three in the Till n:dn casn. t*1 of whom weIe acquitted and as to one of whom the charges were dismissed. The review which have been called upon to make, there fore, involves death penalties imposed upon sixteen persons. Of these I have affirmed six, because the persons involved were found guilty by plain evidence of having deliberately under circumstances of shocking bsutality murdered designated and peaceably disposed civilian. The remaining ten dc ath sentences l have commuted to life Imprisonment for the reason that, while deeply engaged in this riotous mutiny, the men involved are not shown by the record personally and directly to have caused the death of designated individuals.
 The offense of which these soldiers were guilty is one of the greatest gravity. The government relies upon its soldier for the defense of the lib critics of the people and when soldiers, forgetting their obligations, break over the restraints of discipline and become Ia riotous and murderous mob, the very foundations of order are shaken. When peaceably disposed and innocent civil fans are the victims of this sort of riot stern redress of their wrongs is the surest protection of society against their recurrence"

and villages fronting them. The en- emy guns were also extremely active and counter attacks were frequent.
 The object of the French maneuver was to attain the northern border of the hilly mass formed by Autreycourt wood, thus menacing Guiscard. When the German line began to give way the French cavalry joined in the ac- tion, and early this morning reached the farm of St. Martin. on the road between Noyon and Guiscard. The in- fantry advanced to a front running through Salincy, Rourbeteuse and eastward through Tarlefesse, Poilbar- be. Crisolles and Fretoy-Le-Chateau.

 The president reviewed the record at length. emphasizing the gravity of the rioters crime and the care taken by the military authorities to give them justice.
 "On the 23rd of August, 1917. the so-called Houston riot took place" his statement said. "A mutiniOus and riOtous group of soldiers participated in the affair, causing in all the deaths of fifteen persons and the serious wounding of twelve others. many of whom were, innocent bystanders, and
