ROFRANO WITNESS ‘ASKS PROTECTION . “a WHILE ON STAND Sassi Couldn’t Stand Glares of Gaimari Brothers as He Testified. WIFE OFFi RS ALIBI. Says Rofrano Was Home at Time of the Murder— Mother Corroborates Her. The smouldering hate which has ‘kept uneasy all thoso concerned in the triat of Michael A. charged with hiring tho murderer of Michael Gaimari, blazed up again * , ls afternoon when Nicholas Sassi, ,*° @ confessed under-the-bridge gambler @nd gunman, took the stand, Sassi formerly lived in the home of Michtiel Gaimari. In the twisting eurrent& of the life of the nelghbor- hood Sassi of the Gaimari clan, Mo was put on the stand to prove the killing of Galmari due to a gamblers blood feud and not at all to political ani- | mosities, Down in the audience in the court room John ("Buster") Gaimari and Al Giamari, brothers of the murdered man, glared at their former asso- clate. He eyed them uneasily and with an apparent effort kept his eyes fixed on the ceiling. The trouble becan when Snasal, who once lived if the Galmari household, told of the shooting affrays following quarrels of the employees in Michael Gaimart’s gambling nouse back in 1911 at No. 39 Oliver Street, Soon after Sassi took the stand he “turned away from Mr. Littleton and Not a Bite of Breakfast Until You Drink Water Gaye a glace of hot water phosphate prevents Ilinees and keeps us fit. nd Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom- bustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary certain amount of iadigesti terial, which if not comple nated from the system each day, be- comes food for the millions of t teria which infest the bowels, From this mass of left-over waste, toxi and ptomaine-like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood. Men and women who can't get feel- ing right must begin to take inside baths, Before eating breakfast cach morning drink water with a tablespoonful of lime- stone posphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous ay’ cumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimen- tary canal clean, pure and fresh. isso whovate subject to sick head- ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff- ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practising internal sanitation, This will co very little, but fs suflicient to make any one an enthusiast on the subject. Roraber inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing noor health, while the bowel pores do.

The of- ficer tapped Galmari on the shoulder, spoke to him and marched him out of court. The witness continued to mutter and pointed towarda bench near the court room door. “The stenographer,” eaid Justice weeks, iil read what the witness haa just sald to the court.” “The witness says,” announced the interpreter: “Your Honor, I am be- ing threatened, even now, by John ;Galmart right here in this court | room." | “Ia John Gatmari in court?” asked the Justice. A slonder youth, alternately pale and flushing, rose near the door. “Are you John Gaimari?" asked the Court, “L am!" the boy fairly yelled, and then clicked his jaw close tight. “To avoid any trouble or question, the Court directed, “you will leave the room and remain out while this witness 1s on the stand, ‘The younger Gaimari walked out of the door, Almost immediately Al Gat- | mart walked in and occupied the seat from which hie brother had been ex- pelled. His father, sitting beside him, Jald a coutioning hand on his arm. TELLS OF THE FEUDS OF THE GAMBLERS, Sassi, speaking in a rough, hoarse voice, told In a solemn matter-of- fact tone of the social and business activities of the district in 1912 and; 1913 when the Gallmaris and Fenni- more'’s clan quarreied, He told ot She Also Had to Dive 103 Feet, Battle for Life in Whirling Torrent and the squabbles in which “Smitty,”| “Mike the Dog” and “The Protector Man” and other notables of the un- der-the-bridge social register were concerned, One sample item was: “Smitty was to a flat foot dance T} was giving with a $5 bill for a prize. | Al Gaimari went in and wanted to! dance. fectly gentlemanly nice manner and says: ‘Hey, you can't get into this! because these guys have already been dancing for ten minutes on the floor, Beat it-’ Ho didn't want to quit and Smitty pushed him off the place, That was all there was to it.” “Mike Gatmari told me," sald the witness at another time, “he'd rather have a sick dog on the door of af rambling houao than have Fennimore | on the door.” ROFRANO'S WIFE IS DAY'S FIRST) WITNESS, | Mary A. Rofrano, a sweet-faced woman, with a dimple, which despite | the worry and sadness tn her eyos, re- | sponded constantly to the particular | courtesy of Martin W. Littleton's manner toward her, took the witness jstand when court opened. Bhe seemed almost childishly young. Cer- tainly she looked more like a fright- ened Ipish school girl than Ike the jmbther of seven children, of whom. |five, all daughters, are living. | Mrs. Rofrano said that her busband was out for twenty-four hours the doy before Mike Gatmart was killed, There had been a heavy snowfall and. as Deputy Commiastoner of Street Clean- ing, he was driving tho shovelers, He |came home Sunday morning to |change his clothes, and at 1 o'clock |Monday morning returned and went to bed. | Q. When did you next seo him? A, When I called him at 8 o'clock In the morning. Q. Did your husband's nephew, young Peter Campbell, come fn, and what did he say? A. He didn’t say anything. He came upstairs with Mother Rofrano, and she told me in| j Italtan Mike Gaimari had been killed. | | Mr. Rofrano came out into the hall in| | es bathrobe and I told him. Q. In Engiieh? A, Yes. Then he- dressed and had breakfast and went downstairs about 9.20 o'clock. “How long ago," asked Mr. Brothers in cross-examination, “were you asked for the first time what you remem- bered about Mr, Rofrano’s actions the ‘inorning of March 82" } “I do not remember. all the talk began.” Q. Where were you asked about {t? A. In the family.
