Prisoners.

One of the chief trials on Lipari was the presence of Fascist spics, who pretended to be political pri- soners, while some prisoners of weak character tried to earn a par don by reporting imaginary plots. Thus one man, Cocco, denounced to the authorities an adult school run by the deportees as a means of employing their time by learning" Inguages, mathematics, or history Cocco told the authorities that it was a cloak for political discussions and preparations for an armed re- volt. More military police were rushed to the island, many arrests were made, and 50 men were trans ferred to Italy for trial before the Extraordinary Tribunals set up by the Fascist State. On the other hand the Fascist Government wel tomed any submissions because of their propaganda value, Fre quently I was approached by more or less secret agents of Fascism on the island. Why didn't. 1. just rite alew worde, they suggested, de- claring that I would no longer in terest myself in politics, and that I had come to realise that the Fascist regime was, Italy's salva tion 1 Nothing more was necco- sary, they assured me, to achieve immediate release."

Mr. Bingley (the magistrate) Pierpont Morgan is not in it with this man!

Mr. Ving, submitted that Eustis had associated himself with Miss Sherriff to inspire confidence to carry out his fraudulent schemes. She believed that he wanted her to be his housekeeper...

Miss Sherriff, giving evidence, said that she regarded Eustis as a man of, little immediate mesias, but great expectations.

Detective sergeant. Duncan said. that Eustis, who was a bachelor, was born in a fishing village in Cornwall, and when he left school at 14 he was employed as a garde- ner's boy. He left hotne, took lodg" ings, and stole £28 worth of jewel- lery from a woman. For this he was bound over.
