Rome, Yesterday,

A young and beautiful Austrian dancer, Margharita Blaha, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison while her lover, Domenico' Bovone, has been condemned to be shot in the back at dawn as the result of a trial which concluded here last night.

The trial arose from the recent anti-Fascist riots which were quickly suppressed by Premier Mussolini. Seven other ring leaders were also sentenced, five of them to 30 years, and two to 10 years. Following the suppression of the terrorists, a special Tribunal

was created to try the leaders who had been arrested. Most pro-
