RECEIVE NO CASES Dr. Pasquale Imperato, a founder of the society, which has a membership of 160 doctors, pointed out that 113 doctors of his group have been registered with. the Board of Health for over a year now and have signified their willingness to treat patients with venereal diseases 'at whatever fee they could afford to pay." "The Board of Health has not sent a case to us." he said.

"They have not assigned any cases to these physicians because they wish to secure their positions and make a record to show the necessity for more clinics. The real treatment of syphilis begins in the first stage when the young man or woman only suspect that they have it. They will not stand in the syphilitic line at the Board of Health and as a result the board mostly tertiary stages of the disease."

SERVICE RENDERED BY MEN OF UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE Funeral Directors 433 Nostrand Ave. STerling 3-7700 Dr. Imperato said that private physicians can give more and better care to patients than can clinics operated by the Board of Health and that the attention given "was not governed by the pocketbook of the patient." Dr. Godfrey had stated that "it is highly probable that in health department clinics for venereal diseases better histories are taken, more sources of infection and contacts are examined and treated, more general physical examinations made and better and more continuous treatment given" than in private practices as a whole. Two Doubted Caruso Guilt Continued from Page 1 most important facts which resulted in their verdict was Scaramellino's positive identification of Caruso and the testimony of Caruso and his father which, they said, did not impress them sufficiently to vote for an acquittal.

SAID BANDIT HAD MOLE Scaramellino testified that one of the three men who held him up had a mole or a similar looking mark above his lip. Caruso at the time of his trial had a fever sore which corresponded to the mark mentioned by the complainant. This, the ten jurors interviewed said, also built up the strong circumstantial case against Caruso. although Davis and De Cotus they still had some doubt as to the identification. The guilty verdict was the result of two ballots, it was learned.

though Caruso's most release of the from jurors prison read and of their mistake, none of the, jurors experienced any pangs conscience, because, they were all agreed, they could consider only the evidence presented to them. One of the jurors, Henry Cohen, a registrar at Beth Moses Hospital, declared he never wants to sit as a juror again, except possibly in a civil case. All of the others said this experience might make them a trifle more cautious before returning guilty verdicts in other cases but that it would have no important effects upon their future service as jurors if they are called. GLAD HE WAS CLEARED Without exception, the jurors were glad Caruso's innocence was discovered and four of the ten felt he should be reimbursed by the State for their error. They differed, however, on the amounts, the sum him ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.

Mr. Cohen said Caruso should be given a good job by the State. The other jurors were against any form of recompense because, they held, Caruso was the victim of an honest error. All ten jurors interviewed agreed the trial was conducted by Judge Brancato impartially, and said the judge had concurred in their verdiet because he thanked them for it. and said they had done the right thing.
