MUSSOLINI TRIED AND EXECUTED RESOLUTE ACTION BY MILAN TRIBUNAL
LONDON, April 29. Mussolini has been executed, with five of his Ministers, and his mistress, Clara Petacci, after a trial by the Milan Popular Tribunal, says the Exchange Telegraph's Rome correspondent, quoting Milan radio. Mussolini was sentenced ■to death, and executed immediately. Rome radio announces that the former secretary-general of the Fascist Party, Carlo Scorza, and the former Italian delegate to the League of Nations, Baron Sardi, have been captured in Northern Italy. Political circles in London comment favourably on the Milan radio announcement that Mussolini has been executed, says Reuter's Rome correspondent. This resolute action is regarded as forming part and parcel or the North Italian revolution, by which Italian affairs ■.have been taken back into Italian hands.
