Graziani, 72, had been ailing for several years.

An Italian military tribunal convicted Graziani in May, 1950, of treason charges and sentenced him to 19 years in prison, but his sentence was cut by amnesties to only 14 months. He was taken into custody in 1945 and charged with collaborating with Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini in northern Italy after the Italians' surrender to the Allies. He was given a military trial after a civilian court had disqualified itself following a -month hearing. Graziani's defense was based on the ground that he was only a soldier carrying out orders. Following his release from prison, Graziani asked for membership in the new Fascist Italian socialist movement.

Conflicting accounts of an alleged pier accident -aired during trial of a $300,000 damage suit--today were turned over to the District Attorney's office for closer scrutiny and possible perjury action. per The suit was brought in Brooklyn Supreme Court by a 39-year-old South Brooklyn waterfront worker who charged he suffered brain injuries after a fall from a pier at the foot of Pierrepont St. on Jan.

23, 1950. The pier worker, Anthony Mastriano, of 133 Kane married and the father of five children, claimed he made $160 a week the year of the accident. However, he did not testify at the trial before Justice George A. Arkwright. A tion by Frank Mattarese, an alleged "eye witness," was read into the record during the trial.

After the trial had proceeded for five days, George J. Conway, attorney for the New York Dock defendant in the action, described the plaintiff's case as the most "fraudulent" he had ever heard. Conway pointed out to the court that Mastriano and Mattarese were at "complete odds as to how the alleged accident was supposed to have happened." The attorney asked for a directed verdict in favor of his client, and then requested that minutes of the trial be handed over to the District Attorney. Justice Arkwright granted both motions.
