May Go to Italy to
Refute Cocchi Story

Assistant District Attorney Alfred J
lalley, OF this city, may go to BOLOGNA
Italy, in an effort to disprove the latest
statements of Alfred Cocchi. on trial
there for the murder of Ruth Cruger
here in 1917. Cocchi now declares that
his wife killed the girl Mrs Cocchi is
SAID to be living in New York City. al
though neither the police nor the Dis
trlct Attorneys Office know her exact
whereabouts.
"Cocchi's recent statements CHARGING
that his wife killed Ruth Cruger and
that he confessed the murder in order
to shield her are ridiculous and pre-
posterous," said Mr.. Talley.
"Cocchi's guilt has been established
without the shadow of doubt and if
we are definitely informed that the ad
lournment of his trial was due to anv
credence placed by the Italian officials
IN his latest story, 1T is probable that
| will go to Italy to lay before the
authorities the evidence we have dis
proving this yarn. I'll probably 20 as
witness, If in no other way.
Mrs. Cocchi has been examined
thoroughly and there never was the
slightest belief that she knew anything
at all about the Staying of Ruth Cru
ger. l myself have talked with Mrs.
Cocchl score of times and have dis
cussed every angle of the case with
her. Cocchi is simply making a be-
lated attempt to shift responsibility
for the crime
"The Cruger case was thoroughly
gone over following the discovery OF
the body, during the course of investiga
tions OF the crime itself and charges
OF police dereliction in connection with
it. Mrs. Cocchi testified before the
grand jury when Cocchi was indicted
and at the trial of the policemen. Her
innocence o. all knowledge of the
murder was clearly established.
Furthermore, we sent a vouminous
record of the case to the Italian officials.
Tins record established Cocchi's guilt"
Mrs. Grace Humiston, who figured
in the discovery of Ruth Cruger's body
In the cellar beneath Cocchi's bicycle
repair shop, declined to state last night
whether she placed any faith in Coo
chi's story
Since he has made this charge"
said, 81 think it is clearly the
duty of the District Attorney to have
him brought here as witness against
his wife, so that he can tell what he
knows about the murder. The Cruge-
case was never gone into thoroughly. I
believe there are accomplices to the
crime here in this country now. And

Rescoring of Points

For Glencoe A. e..

A rescoring of the points for the
team prize in the Intersectional League
games held last Sunday was ordered
by the registration committee last
night as result of the ineligibility
OF several athletes who competed. One
of the boys was Percy Fredlander, of
the Glencoe Athletic Club, who won
both the 100 and 300 yard handicap
runs. 1t developed that Fredlander
competed on an expired registration
card and he therefore loses both prizes
and his club ten valuable points.
At the completion of the games last
Sunday, the Glencoe and Paulist ath-
letic clubs were tied for the team hon
ors, with is points each The disuuali-
fication of Friedlander costs his club
ten points, and upon the rechecking of
the winners it is practically certain
that the Paulist orga anization will OBJ
tain the trophy 1t also developed that
Fred Harrison, Mohawk Athletic Club,
was ineligible to represent his club.

Cocchi Accusation
Of Wife Causes Halt
In Trial Until Fall

BOLOGNA, June 25.-The trial of
Alfred Cocchi. charged with the murder
of Ruth Cruger in New York in 1917,
has been interrupted for an indefinite
period to enable the court to examine
the evidence given by Mrs. Cocchi to
the American authorities.
tween Signor Bagnoli, president of the
court, and Cocchi yesterday over the
latter's change of attitude toward the
crime, in which the court spoke We
hemently in citing incidents narrated
in the confession made by Cocchi and
the findings of American tribunals.
Cocchi told of having sawed the body
of Miss Cruger so that he might hide
it. Then he broke down, crying in a
broken voice: II took the body and
tried to conceal it in the cellar. but
the door was not large enough and
sawed the body in two. The girl was
dead when this was done"
Then followed discussion between
Signor Bagnoli as to whether the girl
was dead or not before her body was
dismembered. The whole courtroom
was aghast at the prisoners narration.
but Cocchi proceeded with his story
rapidly, being apparently very nervous.
Cocchi continued his mornings mar
ratlve in the afternoon. When he con-
c!uded the court went into secret ses-
sion to consider the defendants
charges against his wife and their re-
latlon to his own case. After a session
of more than an hour the court an
nounced that the trial had been post
poned
Signor Venturini. attorney for Coo
CHI, said he had received letter from
j. J. Lynch, Municipal Building, New
York, containing sensational allega-
tons concerning the death of Miss
Cruger. The attorney said he would
present the letter in evidence.
Judge Bagnoli. the president of the
court. gave this explanation of the
postponement to The Associated Press:
We were afraid the story related
by Cocchi and his charges against his
wife had influenced the jury. which
appeared to US to be somewhat affected
by this development. We will await
transcript of the evidence in the
wlfe's case. We expect to continue the
trial before October at the latest"
