All the doors to the building will be

Fifty witncMsrs are expected to tes

the criminal charge of premeditated
but. aggravated homicide. A civil
fiction for damages against the ac

the family of Ugnor MalteolU de

it would bo futile to try to press

the li.'fet known and most respected

Is well known for his severity and
Impartial justice; for his literal In
terpri'tntlon of the law and his re
fusal to permit unrelated oratory on
the pui-t of the lawyers.
The specllic charge against thn
defendants Is of "having partlclpat-
I ed as actor or immediate coopern
i tors, without premeditation, in the
murder of Slgnor Mntteolli, with the
tggiavaiion of having committed
the crime because of thn latter'8
functionality as n member of parlia
ment." The usual nunifthmont nf
I conviction for such a crime is from
three years to eight years imprison
ment, iilthousrh the sentence is vari
able according to the actual testl
mony addioerl. The recent amnesty
wiping out. punishment for all poll
tteal crime, except homicide, and
reducing the penalties for ordinary
crimes i, expected to lersen the
length of sentences in the present
case of the defendants are convicted.
Lawyers here say the problem 1s,
If verdicts of eujlly are rendered,
of obtaining sentences long enough
to prevent a bad impression IiMiir
created by allowing the accused
men to have prison immediately.
Challenged Mussolini
Matteotti was the only man In
Italy, since ihe advent of the fascism
wdio dared personally to challenge
Mussolini and openly and fearlfftsly
attack fascism. Paring the spring
of ItiM, Matteolti. who was 3a years
old and leader of the right wing of
Ihe socialist party, waged a bitter
campaign in the chamber against
Mussolini., frequently verbally bat
tling with Mm. Karly in the after

On the afternoon of .June in.
The number of the license of (lie

and for several months afterward
the fascist grip on liuly decreased
so obviously that an anti-fascist re
volt seemed only a question of days.
Duinlnl was nrrcn.cd Juno 13.
Wild excitement prevailed as ru
mors gained ground Dint the fascist
guvernineiit, even Mussolini himself,
were accomplices In the murder.
Then tollowed tho resignations of
Aldo Final, rub-secretury of tho min
istry of tho interior; of Cesare Rossi,
chief of tho premier's press bureau,
and Oeneral Do Hono, chief of po
lice. others Arrested
rillpptlll and Giovanni Mnrlnelli,
treasurer of the laselst. parly, were
arrested. They mutually accused one
another of responsibility for tho
crime. Meantime a large section of
the parliamentary opposition to fas
cism walked out of the chamber of
deputies and formed the "Aventlne
group." They announced that they
would not, return until "tho moral
question" of Mussolini's personal re.
spon.'.ll'llity In the crime was set
tled. Ibirlnr? the winter of 13!t the
fascist government gradually obtain
ed tli upper hand.' it enforced new
decrees regulating (he press and for
controlling and suppressing opposi
tion to the government. In an his
toric speech January 11. 1 D2.1. Musso
lini announced that tho Matteotti
affair was ended and that tho op
position was virtually non-existent.
In July, 102.". King Victor Iviiinian.
ue announced amnesty for political
offenses, which applied to HofsI,
Marlnelli, Fjlipeili and a number of
others accused of connections In the
killing of Matlrotti when in October
the attorney general decided that
they were guilty of ordering tho kid
napping of Matteotti but not of or
dering his murder.
Mussolini's attitude tegardlng the
cr.se was expressed In a statement
in October. I ICS. It said: "The in
voluntary character of what, occur
red, now historically and judicially
proven, is shown. The truth Is that
the farce of June independently, or
rather involuntarily degenerated into
a. horrible tragedy."
The premier's final stroko in the
political aspect of the case was his
announcement on tho occasion re
cently of the reentry into the cham
ber of several Aventiners that, mem
bers of the opposition would not be
permitted to return until they for
merly disavowed the "moral ques
tion" In connection with Matteotti's
death.
