TRIAL OF COCCHI FOR
MURDER IS SUSPENDED.
Defense In Injunction Case
Expected To Close Argu-
mentS Today.

Balogna, Italy, June 24.-Confronted
By three versions Of the murder Of
Ruth Cruger, New York school girl,
Judge BSgnoha today suspended trial
Of Alfredo Coeeh, charged with the
crime, until the conflicting stories
could be investigated. Prosecutor Pran
ehini told the United Press he did not
expect the investigation to be com
pleted before next spring.
Todayis session of the trial, which
oPened only yesterday, brought out
these versions:
1.-The prosecution charged that
Coeehi killed the girl after assaulting
her in his repair shop at 542 West
i2Tth street, New York, February Is,
1917.
2-Cocchi refuted former alleged con
feSsions aud declared his wife killed
Miss Cruger because of jealousy, say
ing he confessed to shield her and his
children.
ga letter was introduced, said to
have been written by J. J. Lynch, $50
municipal building, New York. stating
that Miss Gruger died from a criminal
operation and was buried by white
slavers in Coeehi s shop.
Tells Story of Crime
Coeehis examination began this
morning. He created a sensation, wheT
he began calmly to tell how Miss Cru
ger visited his shop to have her skates
sharpened and how his wife entered
and attacked the girl from behind,
killing with blow from tool.
Cocchi emphatieally denied he as
saulted the girl. Sobbing loudly, he de-
scrdbed how he proceeded to conceal
the body to shield his wife. He said
he was forced to cut it to make ii fit
in the grave he exeavated under the
floor Of the shop. Then he decided to
flee, he said, and informed his father
he had committed the murder, hoping
thus to save his wife.
Judge Bagnol remarked that Coo.
ehi's charge against his wife was
made after Mrs Cocehi had denoune-
cd him, which according TO the court,
fhe would not have done had he really
been shielding her. When confronted
with his former detailed confessions,
Cocchi stoutly elung to his new YER
sion of the crime.
Third Version Advanced
After Cocchi's s retraetion, the prose-
cutor asked for time TO investigate this
version. The Judge refused. A letter
was then introduced, purporting to
have been written to Attorney Ven.
turini, Coechi 5 counsel, by ]. ]. Lunch
of New York, giving a third version.
Lynch. it was said, wrote that Miss
Gruger died as the result of criminal
operation and was removed ITO Cocchi s
shop by white slavers, where she was
buried.
The jurors were frankly puzzled by
the three versions. Judge Bagnoh re-
tired 10 his chambers to consider the
situation and finally announced that
the trial was suspended until further
investigation could be made.

Lynch said that he had sent letters
to Baron SonninO, then the Italian for
eign minister and to Cocehi's attor-
ney, but refused to divulge their con
tents He declared that he would ex.
pose the entire ease to any accredited
official of the Italian government.

additional amount paid in 1915 for 10.

cent pound contract The Salem
Fruit Union contends that the paying
of the extra price last year was not
only breaking of the old three-cent
contract, but that it had a verbal con-
tract with the old Northwest Fruit
Products company for an extra price
and eaneelling of the old contract, but
that this verbal contract had not been
reduced to writing.
