Three On Trial For ‘Perfect Crime
9
By The Associated Press
ROME—Three men, protesting
innocence, went on trial Monday
for murder in what police called
a perfect crime—almost—including
alibis too good to be true.
If police have the case recon
structed correctly, spectators jam
ming the courtroom will hear the
story of a slaying that could have
furnished the plot for a best-seller
murder mystery.
The Italian press has called it
“The trial of the century.”
Police said only painstaking
sleuthing kept Giovanni Fenai’oli,
52, Carlo Inzolia, 29, and Raoul
Ghiani, 30, from getting away
with murder.
The victim was Fenaroli’s wife,
Maria, 48. ‘ She was strangled in
the Fenaroli Rome apartment the
night of Sept. 10, 1958, shortly
after her husband had taken out
a $240,000 insurance policy on her
life.
400 Miles Away
All that night Fenaroli, head of
a small surveying company, was
in Milan, 400 miles away, on a
business trip, ^nd he could prove
it. He could prove that barely ah
hour before the murder he talked
to his wife by long-distance phone
from Milan.
Police charge that in that phone
call Fenaroli told his wife a friend

best information possible on crit
ical values in research in six ma
jor areas: physical and thermo
dynamic data; infrared spectral
data; ultraviolet spectral data;
Raman spectral data; mass spec
tral data, and nuclear magnetic
resonance spectral data.
Each six months, supplements of
new and revised information will
be prepared for distribution to
scientists all over the world. The
projects also tentatively call for
an effective program by both
graduate and undergraduate stu
dents in high precision measure
ments of physicochemical proper
ties on compounds of established
purity. It will likely involve an
experimental program dealing
with the measurement of certain
physical, thermochemical and spec
troscopic properties, also.
Much of the work will be con
cerned not only with establishing
the best critical values from world
literature, but also with theoret
ical approaches to developing val
ues for compounds not yet meas
ured by man, and to evaluating the
best methods in research relating
to basic information on the hydro
carbon and chemical compounds.
Pne of the most necessary tools
for this type of research is an
adequate high-speed computing fa
cility. The A&M System’s Data
Processing Center, which has just
completed installing a new high
speed IBM-709 electronic comput
er, will be used extensively in both
projects.

Dr. Frank Cleveland Bolton
The late Dr. Frank Cleveland
Bolton, a long-time administrator
and president of A&M who died
Jan. 31, has been officially com
mended in a special resolution
passed by the Texas House of
Representatives.
The resolution read in part:
“Whereas Dr. Bolton served

PLAYERS
(Continned from Page 1)
feature a much larger cast, under
the direction of Vic Weining.
With a cast of 13, “The Rivals”
is a comedy of manners, poking
subtle fun at the incongruities,
conventionalities and affectations
of society.
• The script was written in 1775,
and is a standard classic comedy;
the author was Richard Brinsley
Sheridan, and the play. was first
performed at the Theater Royal in
Covent Gardens, London, England.
The play combines hilarious mis
use of words in the right places
with an entertaining plot to pro
vide a very enjoyable five acts of
comedy.
Rehearsals for “The Rivals” be
gan as purely speech sessions
working on the diction and dia
logue of the play during the month
of January.
This month, the cast will begin
combining movement and action
with their lines, boosting charac
ter interpretation and seeing the
play come to life. These rehear
sals will be conducted three times
each week in the Music Hall, in
preparation for the April perform
ances.
The Aggie Players as the drama
organization of Texas A&M have
produced at least two shows per
semester in the past few years;
this last semester, they won wide
acclaim for their production of
“Winterset.”

would be calling at the apartment
to deliver a package. They said
that friend was Ghiani, an elec
trician employed in a Milan fac
tory. They said Mrs. Fenaroli let
Ghiani in, and he strangled her
and took some jewelry.
But Ghiani had an alibi almost
as good as Fenaroli’s. He could
prove he worked all day Sept. 10
at the factory in Milan where he
was employed. He punched a time
clock when he finished, and punch
ed the clock again when he re
ported to work the following morn
ing.
• Bought Tickets
Police say he bought plane tick
ets that would have gotten him
here that night after he finished
work. They said they found evi
dence he took a night train back
to Milan after the time of the
slaying that would have gotten
him to work on time.
Witnesses were found who claim
they saw Ghiani on the stairs in
the Fenaroli apartment house the
night of the killing. Police said
they found some of Mrs. Fena-
roii’s jewelry hidden in the Milan
factory where Ghiani worked.
Police say Inzolia was a brother
of Fenaroli’s mistress in Milan
and acted as go-between in the
murder deal, introducing ‘Fenaroli
and Ghiani as a young man who
could be relied on for the job.
Spectators queued at dawn to
battle for places in the courtroom,
jammed with 80 reporters, a score
of attorneys and 140 witnesses.
The trial is expected to last until
April.

PLAN YOUR FUTURE V
WITH THE LEADER IN SPACE SCIENCE
Since the beginning of his intellectual awareness, Man has
looked upward to the outer void surrounding his planet
Earth. He has watched the twinkling stars and wondered
ct the never-ending dance of the planets around the Sun.
He has dreamed and written of the possibility of exploring
outer space and speculated endlessly on what he might
find could he but explore those silent spheres. |
j
A practical beginning to these century long yearnings
has already been accomplished with man-made satellites
already girdling the Earth. Now, the next stage is under
way —the daring attempt to explore the Moon and the
planets of our Solar System and their environments. , •
1 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
has assigned Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
the responsibility for the Nation's program of unmanned
lunar, planetary, and interplanetary exploration. The
objectives of this program are to contribute to mankind's
fundamental knowledge of space and the space envi
ronment and to the development of the technology of
space exploration. For the next ten years, as larger booster
Vehicles become available, spacecraft with ever-increas
ing scientific instrument payloads will be developed.
JPL will conduct the missions, utilizing these spacecraft
to orbit and land on the Moon, to probe interplanetary
space, and to orbit and land on the near and far planets.
I Earliest of these spacecraft will be the "Ranger" series
row being designed, developed and tested at JPL. The
mission of this particular series will include first, explora
tion of the environment and later the landing of instru
ment capsules on the Moon.
f Subsequent steps will continue a constant probing for
the knowledge of what is beyond and will require all the
skills, ingenuity, courage, endurance, perception and
imagination that men can bring to the task.
Never before has such a wide vista of opportunity, or
a greater incentive been open to men trained in all fields
of modern science and engineering. Every day at JPL new
problems arise, new theories are advanced, new methods
tried, new materials used, and new principles discovered.
