FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, THE RECORD OF THE TIMES. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1006 BARBERI TESTIFIES Unfortunate Girl Tells the Story, of Her Unhappy Life, THE PERSISTENT CATALDO. The Boothack Whom She Afterward New Followed Her Everywhere Maria's Strong Hallucinations About Her Sleeping, NEW YORK, Nov. 95. -It was after 11 today when Maria Barberi took the witness stand in her own behalf.

Mrs. Foster accompanied her, holding the girl's hand, and then took a seat near by her charge stepped up to the witness chair. As the girl faced the jury her usually pallid face colored a trifle, and she twisted about nervously. Mr. House announced that he would have her give her testimony in English and went on to have the girl say that she was born in Ferrantia, Italy, and was now 24 years old.

She came to this country, with her mother and father and younger brother and sister, abont five years ago. Mr. House then began to inquire about old Mrs. Boszanti, the maternal grandmother of Maria. The girl made answers of some sort, but it was only through House's repeating them that it was learned that Maria knew the old woman and that the latter used to get drunk very frequently.

Mr. House made a heroic attempt to get the girl to speak louder and threatened her with an inteprreter if she did not raise her voice. But the court stenographer had to read what she said. It then transpired that she had been tellIng of the exploits of that shameless old Giovani, who used to so terrify the ladies of Ferrantia by insisting on. stripping off his clothes and parading about the village streets.

The story did not differ in its details from the versions of the same acts given by witness for the defense. Next Mr. House wanted to know about certain day in Ferrantia, when Maria and her elder sister, Antonia, had gone down to the river to wash clothes, and Antonia had fallen in a fit and cut her forehead. Just how Maria phrased this was a mystery, though, ar Mr. House had to repeat everything for tO benefit of the jury.

The death of the old bibulous grandmother, Bonzanti, was sufficiently unnerving, according to Maria. For two or three weeks she died had her mouth on one side and could not talk." Concerning Maria's own falling fits Mr. House asked a number of questions. She had spells, she explained, "when the machine was in her head." The stenographer read this in detail. "One day when mamma was way," Maria phrased it, "my head began to round a machine, and then I saw something red, like, a flash of light, and then came the black, I could not see anything more.

My mother put me on the bed." Concerning Maria's school days, the girl said in answer to Mr. House's questions: "I had to quit because my eyes were sick, and the teacher said because all the time the red came into my eyes I could not read and I'd better go home. you sleep good?" Mr. House queried. I do, but sometimes it seems as if round things jump right out of my head.

Then my head goes round, and I wake up and cannot sleep any Concerning the time she tried to leap from the roof, she said she remembered nothing except that her head went around like a machine and she fell down. Her father told her afterward that she had run to the roof and tried to jump off. The Meeting With Cataldo, Mr. House then led her up to her meeting with Cataldo. She said that at that time she was sewing for a Mrs.

Tilly on Mott street and lived in Elizabeth street. "Where did you see Cataldo first?" "When I was passing through Canal street on my way to work. He had a bootblack stand at Canal and Elm streets." She then descriebd how they became acquainted. For a couple of months I passed him, and he always looked at me. I never looked.

When one day he stopped me and said, know your family, I said, 'I don't speak to people in the street like That was 18 months before I went to Thirteenth street. Next time I passed him he spoke to me. Lasked him why he spoke like that. A lady who was standing with him said Catnido was a good man, and I would be a good girl if I married him. I saw him every day after that, and he said one day he would see mother and father and ask if he could marry me.

I said if they wanted me to I would do it. He did not go to see mother and father, so I told him I would not speak to him unless he saw them, and he said he would, but did not. So I walked through Canal street, so I would not pass him. He saw me because it was only a block away, and every 12 o'clock he used to be at Grand street to see me." She spoke so fast and excitedly that the stenographer had to repeat her story to the jury. She told how Cataldo became so persistent in his attentions that she left Mrs.

Tilly's and went to work at 541 Broadway so as to avoid him. Then she related how he found her there after four days and met her as she was leaving the building and walked home with her. He said that he would marry her, but avoided her suggestion that they go get married at once. "Did you like Cataldo?" asked Mr. House.

"Yes, because he spoke to me so often, and I spoke to him. I got so I believed everything he said." you remember the time he got you some soda, about a monsh before you went to live with him?" "Yes. One day he came down to the shop and said we would go take a walk. This was the first time I ever walked with him. He took me to a saloon, and we had some soda.

After we had gone out he wanted to take me into a house where he said a lady who was a friend of his lived. I would not go. I said I had no time and want home. Delaware Election Contest. DOVER, Nov.

A deplorable accident occurred at the home of William Reilly in Fortty Fort Wednesday at 10 o'clock, when his 11- months-old son Martin was so terribly burned that no hopes 'are entertained for his recovery.

Mrs. Reilly placed her little. son in the cradle and after singing him to sleep went up stairs to do some work. Her other son Leo, 3 years old, was left playing about the same room. When the mother disappeared Leo secured some matches and going to his baby brother's side lighted one of them and applied it to the clothes that were wrapped about the sleeping babe.

In a moment the cradle was enveloped in flames and the boy becoming frightened at what he had done, began to scream for his mother. The latter rushed down the stairs to find her baby piteously crying for help. She selzed the child and rushed to the door, calling for assistance. The child was frightfully burned before the flames were extinguished. His face, neck and chest were a gruesome sight and his right arm was literally roasted.

The child cannot recover. BREVITIES. 2 The barn of farmer Rosencrantz was burned at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning at Inkerman, together with a lot of hay, grain and farm implements. -J. B.
