Then coun- sel for the condemned men appeal- ed to the supreme court of the Unit- ed States which in March refused to review the case becauye of a lack of jurisdiction. Throughout the three years of legal battle the men were supplied with ample funds by Italian and Italian-American organizations and individuals throughout the country and Governor Parker received thou- Yands of letters, telegrams and res- olutions protesting against the con- viction of innocent men and asking for clemency. It had been established that only Ofe, and at the most, two men, had fired at Calmes and for three years efforts were made to determine the guilty man, He would not admit his guilt nor would any of his com- panions disclose his identity, if they knew it. The Saturday before Easter Leona requested the Rev. Father Raymond Carra, of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church, in New Or- leans, to visit him that he might perform his “Easter duties.” Leona in his confession to the priest, raid (he fired the shot which killed Cal- not hope for foregiveness from his maker if he ¢id not make a public confession and clear his five com- panions. Leona agreed to do so and on Easter Monday in the presence of the superintendent of the Or- leans parish prigon, where the men had been held for safekeeping, Father Carra and newspaper men dictated a confession and signed it. In his statement Leona said he and Giglio came to New. Orleans ate in April, 1921, to make and sell whiskey. He had been told by Vito { Georgio, who later was killed in Chicago, that he could become rich in a short time if he robbed the bank at Independence. Leona thought well of the suggestion and usked Giglio to join him. He had met Lemantia in New Orleans and when he broached the subject to him Lemantia and his friend Rini agreed to participate. The next step was to find a man who knew the highways abaut Independence and Deamor was persuaded to become a member of the party. Deamore asked Boc- chio, to join them and the sextette set out for Independence. ‘When the bandits approached the k shortly after midnight Leong and Rinj, Leona said, left the car while the other four remained.
