Only Italians Could Prosecute Ex OSS Men Named in Murder
The Defense Department said Maj. William V. Holohan was killed in Italy on Dec. 6, 1944 by two American servicemen aided by two Italians in an OSS mission. Aldo Icardi and Carl G. LoDolce were named as principals. Icardi denied involvement. The two Italians reportedly confessed after questioning. The case awaits Italian court action as neither U.S. nor Italian civil or military courts can readily try the suspects.
