ALL FOUND GUILTY.
THE CAMORISTS. PRISONER CUTS HIS THROAT. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyrißitt Rome, Monday. There was a scene of unparalleled excitement at Viterbo to-day when the trial of the 41 members of the Camorra for the murder of Signor Cuocolo and his wife concluded.
The jury were out for some hours, and when they returned the foreman announced that they had come to the unanimous agreement that nine of the accused were guilty of murder, while the rest were guilty of criminal conspiracy.
The accused were then recalled to their iron cage where sentence of death was passed upon the nine.
On hearing his condemnation for murder, Rapi de Marinis, one of the instigators of the murder, drew a piece of sharp glass from his pocket and cut his throat, collapsing?™ a pool of blood.
Panic and pandemonium followed in the horrified court, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that order was restored.
