BANDITS IN CELLS; S|CILIANS ARE GAY
MaGa GangSterS Herded Like
 Cattle, No Romance Left

Termini 1merese, Sicily, Oct. IS IFl-Subllmely disregardful of the fact that l53 alleged members of the dreaded Mafia bandit gangs. which for a whole generation terrorized the Madonna Mountain region. are incarcerated in their gloomy looking juil, guarded by a squad of soldiers without and Carafinieri within, the citizens of Termini lmerese spent sunday gosslping on the street cor rers or in the few cafes of the little Ealf-mountain, half-seaside resort.
 The enormous number of prison CTS for such a tiny jail has caused considerable doubling up. The alleg- cd gangsters have been awarded de- grees of privacy according to the gravity of the charges against them.
 Thus Nicolo Andaloro, accused of two murders and various thefts, eX- tortions and agressions has but one Ccllmate, while the commoner mor- tals, accused of simple thefts. cattle maiming and attempted homicide, are herded together like the cattle they are charged with stealing.
 No curious crowds gathered out side the jail, not even inquistive small boys, who appeared to be playing weird ball games elsewhere. No Flowers. No Mash Notes. Aside from the proprietor of the local natural hot baths and the own CT of an adjacent theater. there is rohody trying to make real estate capital out of the affair which is being unrolled day by day in the stuffy succeed local court. The tandits-if such they are finally proved to be-enjoy no love notes, no anonymous gifts Of flowers or candy; no ardent requests for inter views or photographs.
 They have met with the crowning l How to adventurous romantic car ! ccrs-complete numbness Of those occupying ringside seats.

terorrism by what sympathizers may be left in Sicily for those on trial before him. The ten active jurors and four substitutes, who, ev,rthe- less. are obliged to sit through the oceedings-which will last until late December, or early January are the only people in the town really "out of luck"
 The general indifference to the large scale trial may be explained ry the fact that Termini Jmerese in it's long history has become tired of to move 1t. Captured by the Cartha- 2enians after the sack of Himerar the town was ruled from 307 B. c. until the time of his death by the ferocious Syracusan tyrant Agatho- Cles. What aggravated the Agatho- cles case was that he was a home town boy. native of Termini. He was so rough that the residents never enjoyed real peace and pros- perity until the Roman conquest.
 
 They experienced the various ups and downs inherent to all Italian states until the bandit scourge Of the last thirty-five odd years, which scared away the lucrative tourist trade 10 a considerable extent.
 "Oh! It is great that the govern ment has taken these measures to stamp out banditry" the local garag- proprietor said today. For the past decade We have only hal few hardy American and English tour ists, latterly few Germans. But now we see a great winter season before us."
 Natives are unanimous in their praise for the manner in which the marauding bands have been brought tc justice, freeing landowners and farmers from oXtorted tribute for protection" by landless rovers. Particularly are the natives pleased at the prospect of ridding Sicily, one of the most gorgeous spots in the world, of the legend that it is unsa- , for foreigners to travel in the inter for Of the island.
 While the prisoners were sulking yesterday in the Jail, vespers were being sung in a near church, the shrill voices of the little girls thrill" il z the old Latin psalms, "Sit thou at my right hand until ] make of thine enemies thy footstool."
 It was pure coincidence. but it fodcd good for al l'he mountainslde ;tnd seaside of Sicily.

No execution in the history of this
country has created the excitement
that the electrocution of Sacco and
Vanzetti has produced. 1t is evident
that these two men were something
more than ordinary individuals So

America. 1t would seem that they
were principals in the propaganda in
favor of Communism and Anarchy.
