ITALIAN EXECUTIONS
PARTIGANS MAKE THREATS LONDON, Jan. 15 Lieutenant-General Dominico Mittica. aged 50. who was a rriember of the tribunal which passed the death sentence on the five Italian Fascists at Verona, was killed in a motor-car crash while travelling to Milan, says the German overseas news agency. He had fought in Russia, Greece, East Africa, and,* earlier, in the Italian contingent in Spain. Reports from Milan, however, deny that General Mittica was a member of the tribunal. These reports say that he was killed as a result of a time-bomb exploding in his car. The British United Press correspondent on the Italian frontier says saboteurs are reported to have caused the crash. Pamphlets distributed in Milan about the time that General Mittica was killed said: “All the assassins of the Verona trails will fall under the blows of the partisans because the judges were defenders of Fascism.”
