Shortly after this according

pay the extortioniSts, and Of

The pharmacist agreed and
gave Father Carmelo the
money, police said.
In May, 1858, a prosperous
farmer, Angelo Canada, was
shot to death by three mask
ed men in the presence Of
his wife and son. He had
been receiving threatening
letters. Father Carmelo, ac-
cording to police, visited the
widow and urged her to pay

widow told police the aged
priest even offered to ar
range a reduction in the de-
mands of the gang.

The four Capuchins and a
local youth were arrested
(Feb. 17) at Mazzarini, a vii
lage about Is miles from Cal
tanisetta in central Sicily.
They are: Father Carmelo,
81; Father Agrippino, 81;
Father Venanzio, A; Brother
Vittorio, A; and Giuseppe
Azzolina, %.
All five are charged with
completely in homicide, ex-
tortion, contributing to de-
linquency, and illegal posses
sion of arms.
POLICE in Sicily traced
the case to October, 1857,
when a local druggist receiv-
ed a letter threatening
damage to himself and his
shop unless he paid about
$4,000. When he ignored
the letter the door to his
pharmacy was set on fire.

where this condition is
severe, there is grave ques-
ton of the persons moral
and social competency to en-
ter a valid (marriage) con.
tract" he said.
Much of the panels time
was taken up with discussion
of when mental illness con-
stitutes grounds for annul-
ment of a marriage.
MARRIAGE ENJOYS the
favor of Cod" Msgr. Quinn
pointed out. IF there is any
doubt about the condition of
the respondent (the sick per-
SOM at the time of marriage,
the annulment plea must be
rejected. The onus of proof
rests squarely on the plain
tiff"
Msgr. Hayes declared that
persons suffering from some
mental diseases might under
stand the mechanical aspects
of contracting a marriage, but
would not grasp the full re-
sponsibilities of such a union
and hence could not enter
into the contract validity.
Records of the Roman Rota
show an enormous increase"
in recent years in the num-
Der of pleas for annulments
on psychiatric grounds, he OBJ
served.
DR.. KuBITscHEK said
the typical psychopathic per.
sonality would take his vows
lightly and make promises
freely. In severe cases, such
persons can be a threat to
themselves and their wives
and children, he said.
MARRIAGE TRIBUNALS.
when they review these cases,

the pastor to learn if the SUBJ
ject has displayed abnormal
behavior and over how long
a period. This Information is
assessed along with the testi-
mony of one or more psychia-
trists before a judgement is
rendered.
Msgr. Esswein explained
the mechanics of the eccles-
iastical courts which consider
annulment cases and the rea-
son for the length of time re-
quired before action is taken.
Each diocese has a tribunal
composed of three priests APP
pointed by the bishop, he
said, In addition, there are

appellate courts, usually COW
ering several dioceses.
A DECISION by the dioce-
san tribunal may be appeal
ed to the appellate court. If
the appellate court uphoids
the diocesan court, the deci-
sion is usually final. But if
the two courts do not agree,
the plea may be taken to the
Roman Rota.
The diocesan tribunal has
two years to gather its data
and the appellate judges have
another year to make their
decision, Msgr. Esswein point
ed out. Many obstacles can
delay the procedure, he de-
clared. I'VE cannot subpoena
a witness; we have to sit back
and wait for them to appear"
he explained.

typewriter. Police said they
found the typewriter in the
garden of the friary, as well
as the shotgun with which
Canada was slain.
Police said that at this
point the friars told them
they had been- intimidated by
their gardner, 10 Bartolo,
who had shot at one of them
and forced their passive CO.
operation in his extortion
plans. But at the time of
this explanation he had al
ready committed suicide.

American Guild of Catholic
Psychiatrists.
Msgr. Andrew #. Quinn, an
official of the Metropolitan
Tribunal of New York, ans.
wered the question of a psy-
chiatrist concerning the atti.
tude of a priest-judge toward
granting an annulment,
Far from being prejudiced
against granting the annul-
ment, Msgr. Quinn said, "the
sympathy of the judges be-
comes enlisted in behalf of
the person seeking the an
nulment." He added: I'VE
frequently feel that we should
give relief to the injured
party -. But we must re-
sist this and decide each case
strictly on Its merits"
The Sacred Roman Rota,
high court in Rome to which
appeals for annulments go,
likewise was shown by var
ious speakers to be a human"
tribunal, rather than cold
hearted and unfeeling.
Msgr. John J. Hayes, an Of
fetal of the Bridgeport, Conn.
Diocesan Tribunal, pointed
out the "agonizing difficulty"
judges face in determining
competency of individuals at
the time of the marriage cere-
mony.
The panel, consisting of
both priests and psychiatrists,
discussed at length the ele-
ments that make a marriage
contract invalid and the symp-
toms that enable judges and
doctors both to distinguish
psychotic individuals and to
determine when they con-
tracted their sickness.
CONSENT OF THE mar
riage partners is the impor-
tant thing" said Msgr. An
thony A.. Esswein, presiding
judge on the st. Louis Arch
diocesan Tribunal.
1T is necessary" he stated,
'for the judges who are con-
sidering a case to set aside
all other factors, including
personalities, feelings, even
fraud, and TO 90 back 10 the
time the marriage was CON
tracted TO determine the
facts. Each individual case
is different and the help of
psychiatrists is important in
eyaluating if the subjects are
truly married in the eyes of
the Church"

Truck Driver Wins
$lO,884 Damage Suit

Robert Warwick, of Jennings, a
truck driver for the Feldstcin Iron
and Metal company on Tuesday
was awarded a S10,S84 verdict in
IA civil jury trial in the current
term Of the Allegany county cir
cult court in Cumberland.
The jury deliberated for about
two hours and 10 minutes before

Mr.. Warwick had brought his
suit against William Frank May
of Williams road, Cumberland. Mr.
May then filed a cross claim for
$4,000 against the Feldstein Iron
ard Metal company. In this case
the jury ruled that Mr. May was
guilty of ooutributory negligence
and could collect nothing.
The two damage suits grew out
of a car-truck collision in Cumber-
land May 6, 1859
Testimony revealed that Mr.
Warwick was driving a Feldstein
pickup truck along Bedford street,
was travelling in the right lane and
then gave a hand signal that he
was preparing to make left turn

Otto, an old and honored sur
name, is principally of German
origin. 1t was used originally as d
personal name and is obtained from
the Old German "Odo' which signi-
fies rich It's use as surname
stems from the fact that, when sur
names came into vogue, it was
often the practice for children to
assume the personal name Of their
father as a hereditary surname
which was handed down from gen.
Grafton to generation.

tionary days were Bodo Otto t1709-
