Gaol for Lion-Tamer
A “MOVIE” SENSATION LIONESS KILLS ACTOR By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 9.5 a.m. ROME, Thursday. A SENTENCE of six months’ confinement inflicted on the liontamer Schneider, closed the sensational incident of February 5, when a lioness leaped bars 13ft. high and killed Parombi, who was acting the part of Nero in the film “Quo Vadis,” also mauling several others. Proceedings for homicide and negligence were taken against the filip. directors, the cinematograph union, and the lion-tamer. The last-named was sent for trial. The defence contended that it was impossible to foresee the accident. Nobody believed that the lioness could leap over the 13ft. bars, which were higher than the usual. —A. and N.Z.
