ills Boy. Joseph Fallauce, is
Not Guilty of Murder

seated in the civil superior court
room yesterday his mind trying to
grasp the proceedings which he hopes
are to give his son another chance at
freedom, the father of Joseph Falianca,
sentenced to life imprisonment at the
state's prison at Weth‘ersfleld, little
and old, was a figure which .would
have made an impression on a jury.
Upon the judicial mind of Judge Joel
H. Reed. however, it is the evidence
produced which will secure Fallanca a
new trial or doom both himself and
his father to disappointment.

Fallanca. Sr., hearing that his son
still in his young manhood. being but
25 years old had been found guilty
of second degree murder and condemn
ed to relllnin behind prison burs for
the remainder of his natural life. got
together what money he could and
came from ltnly to this country to
save his son if it were possible. Un-
derstanding no English he is forced to
depend upon the questions and ana-
wers as interpreted to witnesses and
to the court, for a clue to the direc-
tion the hearing is taking.

His heart, at one moment joyful as
a witness testified that his son was
not in the fight at the time the mur-
der was committed. was no doubt turn
with anguish as Prosecutor Kenealy
pressed the witness to admit. some
different situation or asked him why
he Was long about coming forward in
the attempt to clear the man whom
the jury found guilty. Doulltlcss he
believes his son innocent. but guilty
or not guilty. ills paternal love maul-
fests itself in his journey from far
away Calabria to a strange land, or
pending his little wordly goods in an
endeavor to once more have his son
breathe the free air or heaven.

‘At the opening of the hearing on the
motion for u. new trial on the ground
of newly discovered evidence. Judge
John H. Light. who with Attorney
Fredhric A..Bartlott. appears for my

Fallon as charged with. the mar.
der of Saivatoire D'Agosfino on De
cembor 5. 1905, that the evidence allow
ed that in u'flghi with several of his
countrymen at Greenwich. D'Agos
line was stabbed to death tvltb a knife
and that there was a question whethel
or not Fallancn did it.

He offered the testimony produced
at the trial and stated that four or fle
witnesses would testify that they re-
member Falianca being ill. that they
saw him take a stick from one of the
the combatants, told him to keep out
of trouble, that he went away with
them and did not stab D'Agastino. He
further stated that both Attorney
Bartlett and Daniel Delia endeavored
to secure these witnesses at the time
of the trial but were unable to do so.
and that at the trial the defense had
only the testimony of the accused.

Louis Tripepe, a gardener empIOy.
ed by a contractor hauled Dean, resltl
ing in East. Port Chester was called.
He remembered the killing or D'Agos-
tino but did not remember the day
He was going from work to his home,

in substance he said in answer to
questions:

Failanca was just
ahead of me. Some of the crowd had
sticks and stones and others had won-
pons. I walked straight. and attended
to my own business. When I saw Fal

one of the iightersfl called to him to
come with me. [had known him some
time. I went to my home.
“D'Agostlno might have been there.
i do not know him. I saw a man full
to the ground. Fallanca was a little
way from him when he fell. Many
whom I did not. know by name were
near. him. D'Agostino said ‘Mother
Mlne’ and something else but I did not
hear it clearly. i saw no knife. I
was near enough to Fallanca to see
he had no knife. I saw only that he
took a stick from a man. Failancn did
not run away when the man fell to
the ground. He walked back of us but.
where he went 1‘ do not know. We see
paroled at the cross roads. I saw two

I had known a man named Venitzu

ed me to testify. I did not tell hlln
what I saw. I told him to have me

On the cross examination he said he
was from Gardens and Fallanca from
Salvatore both in Calabria, ltafy and
a few .mIles apart. .
At times he appeared to contradict
his direct testimony and when asked
why he did not appear at the trial and
tell his story to eaves fallow coun-
tryman from possible hanging he said:
"No one asked me and I went about
my business. I kept life my heart. It
was none of my business.” He had
heard that they hung men for murder.

Serious Anti-European Riots Oo-
cIIr at Rawalpindi, Punjab,
. British’lndia-liouses, Post-
offices and Churches Looted

 

 

ALLAHABAD, British India, May 3.
~—Serious anti-European roits have oc-
curcd at. Rawalpindi, Punjab. A Hin-
du mob burned two bungalows. pil-
llaged the mission church. looted the
postoffloe, burned a parage and all the
motor cars in it, destroyed the plant
of II. power house and smashed the
windows of the residences of many
Europeans. Armed police eventually
obtained the upper hand and dispers-
ed the victors. The town is now pat-
rolled by a squadron of the Tenth
Suasars. . -

The outbreak at. Rawalpindi is attri-
buted to the incendiary influence of
a number of well-known agitators
who have been making speeches
throughout the Punjab and who are
also held reswmslble for the recent
outbreak at Lahore.

Rawalpindi is a fortified town of the
Punjab. capital of the Rawalpindi dl‘
vision and district. it has a popula-
tion of about 90.000. The Rawalpin-
di division has about. 5.000.000 inhabi-
tunts.

There was considerable excitement
at Lahore about the middle of Febru-
ary following the conviction of the
proprietor and editor of a native news-
paper. who were accused of stirring
up hatred against the government and
the British community.

A dispatch from Lahore April 27
announced that rifles and twenty
rounds of ball cartridges had been
served out to the local volunteers in
consequence of signs of market un-
rest among the Dl'ndu student ele-
ments. due to the publication of sedl~
tious articles III the native newspa~
pore inciting race hatred towards the
Europeans and demanding native con-
trol of the government by means of
an elective parliament. The authorl~
ties, however, were satisfied that a
determined, front would speedily end
the trouble. especially as they had the
unanimous support of the great Mo-
vhunir’nednn» populationrwho, at numer-
ousvmasswtneetklgs. emphatically conv
damned the anti-European movement.
