Macera, a man of middle height wearing a grey suit, spoke through an interpreter.

They stabbed Angilletta AS a severe warning, later killed him. Angilletta was killed by a double shot gun blast outside his Fairfield home early on the morning of April 4, Dr. Macera said he told De Marte he knew that according to an Italian code of honor the death of the head of a family had to be avenged by the boys of the family in order of seniority.

The eldest male in the Angilletta family, Francesco, was only 14, SO the duty of revenge fell on the sonsin-law, the eldest of whom was Antonio D'Angelo. But Antonio D'Angelo "was a God-fearing man" and left Australia rather than carry out the revenge. Dr. Macera said. He went to Italy but could not get a job, and eventually to Australia and Rook job at Wittenoom Gorge asbestos mine, 700 miles north-east of Perth.

"Blood Defended" Dr. Macera said he told De Marte, Angilletta's other son-in-law, that he knew De Marte had written to Rocco Monea, an uncle living in Italy, saying he had "defended the blood." "Those with little knowledge of the traditions of certain ignorant parts of that land know very well that the words 'I have defended the blood' I have vindicated the blood', Dr. Macera said.

De. police knew Dr. Macera, said he told De Marte's wife later wrote to Rocco Monea to forget what had been written and to "tear up While he was making his address to De Marte, De Marte his mouth shut." Dr. Macera added: "People in Calabria usually listen, SAy nothing and simply nod or shake their heads." Dr. Macera said he told De Marte he put these things to him so he could put himself at ease with his conscience and so he could ask for the Australian people's comprehension and forgiveness.

The court adjourned before Dr. Macera was able to give a further account of CHOSEN FOR OLYMPICS the interview, in which De Marte was questioned. Earlier, Mrs. Audrey Dorney, a neighbor of Domenico De in Chapman Street, North Melbourne, said she rose between 3 and 3.30 a.m. on November 26, 1963, so she could listen to 8 broadcast of President Kennedy's funeral.
