Editing Felice Orsini (section)

==Judgment==
Orsini was sentenced to death and went calmly to the guillotine on 13 March 1858. His accomplice Pieri was executed, and Gomez was condemned to hard labour for life. Di Rudio was sentenced to death, which was commuted to life imprisonment on [[Devil's Island]] near [[Cayenne]], whence he escaped, and he later went to America. He became an infantryman and later an officer in the [[United States Army]], and served in the American Civil War. After the war, he gained a Regular Army commission in the infantry, later switching to the cavalry, and was appointed to the [[7th Cavalry Regiment (United States)|U.S. 7th Cavalry]], and participated in—and survived—the 1876 [[Battle of the Little Bighorn]]. He served many years in the Army, retiring in the 1890s.
