SHIP SABOTAGE
ITALIANS INDICTED ‘ IN U.S.A. MASTER’S FIERY PROTEST. DESERTION BY EMBASSY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEWARK (New Jersey), April 10. The Federal Grand Jury today indicted 97 of the crew and the officers of eight Italian freighters docked at New Jersey ports on sabotage charges. The indictments also named Rinaldo Negri, identified by the attorneys’ office as marine superintendent of the Italian Line. A Philadelphia message says that Federal indictments charging ship sabotage against Italian mariners brought a dramatic moment when the master of the Italian freighter Belvedere uttered. a fiery protest, exclaiming: "I will make them remember me for this. You tell the Consul and the Embassy that I did what they told me to do and now they’are abandoning me and my men.”
Captain Romano Tbmicich thus protested movingly when no legal assistance was' forthcoming and there was no appearance of attorneys on their behalf. Captain Tomicich shouted: “They had better not let me and my men stay two months in gaol.”
