B MURDER SENTENCE I Slayer of Ruth Cruger Sure of Doom in Italy, Juror's Opinion. BOLOGNA. Italy, Aug. 3. Jury men who sat in the last session of the court which has been trying Alfredo Cocchi for the murder of Huth Cruger in New York, have told The j Associated Press correspondent that I they saw little hope for Cocchi In his dramatic tale in which he ac cused his own wife of killing the New York cirl and admitted he mutilated .Miss Cruger's body to protect his wife. The lurors said Cocchi's story had robbed him of any pity the jury might otherwise have. "Ho gained nothing by Ids dramatic presentation in the court of the affair," said one juryman. "The very description of the incidents was enough to tuvue him disregarding any of the nmtives that might have liad. His tale was tvrtalnly oll prepared for hint. (r rourse. It Is crtainly his plan to have this trial poMlwmcd again antl a pain so that he will be entitled to receive his meals In prison instead of sulTering solitary onflnemcnt." Cocchi's counsel lias obtained another delay in the trial. According to Italian criminal procedure, any eonvicteel man would have deducted from his sentence all the time he served in prison prior to his trial so that all the time CicchI delays the sentence will be much time saved from hard labor and solitary confinement, if he is convicted. "Cocchi knows that he Is a doomed man. That is why he is playing for delay," said one Juror to the Associated Fress correspondent. j Fres t Judge liagnoii, wno, act cording to Italian practice, conducts ! the cross-examination, there being ' no private prosecutor present, stated hf would use all his powers to bring all the evidence before the jury, requesting.

A proposal that the foreign delegates to the International Sunday school convention to be htld In Tokio in the autumn of 1920 be lodged In Japanese houses has been made by Japanese. It is suggested that 1,000 Japanese families open their homes to the visitors and that the delegates be giv en an opportunity to experience1 something of real Japan. They j would sleep on mattresses laid on the totaml or straw-matting floor. I and they would move in stockinged feet Instead of shoes or boots. Instead of opening doors and windows, they would get used to shoji, or paper covered slicing panels. Instead of reclining In chairs and divans, they would sit on the spotless tataml floor and get accustomed to the simplicity of Japanese internal decoration. In the morning each Japanese host or hostess would supply the two or three foreign guests with bread, milk and eggs, giving a Japanese breakfast only when the foreigner requested it. Luncheon and dinner could be taken by the delegates in the hotels. A writer says: "It is not only the i practical solution of the difficulty but it will also erve towards breaking up the barrier that has been for so many years a stumbling block to perfect un ierstanding and friendship with foreigners.
