to the next term of the Municipal court,
in District court Friday afternoon.
The sight of a district attorney who
had caused a man's arrest pleading for
his release on the grounds of justification,
and of the judge of a court expressing
his opinion of the man's innocence, has
rarely been seen, but all this was done
after convincing testimony had been introduced
to prove that the killing was
done in self-defense and through excessive
fear of death on the defendant's
part.

ROME, Dec. 9.—The pope's brother,
Angelo Sarto, who is postmaster of the
village of Corazio, called at the parliament
buildings today and asked Deputy
Di Bagno to recommend him to the minister
of posts and telegraphs for an increase
in salary.
The pontiff's brother is 76 years old and
earns a half dollar daily. He is compelled
to walk ten miles every day in
order to carry the mails of his village
to the Nantua station.
Later in the day the minister cordially
received Sarto and after talking with him
for a while willingly doubled his pay, and,
what is more, appointed a postman to
help him.
