He was 6uperbly sup ported Th? colts did not take kindly to the new grounds, but old timers like Anson and Cyan did. Anse was the first Cliicagoan to fat! onto Jeems" for a hit. He smashed the second ball pitched Into deep right, and galloped to second. Carroll sacriCedand sent him alon to bap three, but rfeEer fouled and W ilmot filed out, and the Cap tain was left on Kellly's sack. This happened in the second. In the fourth Anson ripped out a single to left center, and wentout Irom Bierbancr to Miller on 1'feffer's short hit to second. Then Wllmot lined out a hit, and lVcilcr went around to third, and tried to pilfer the plate, bat was thrown out. nothing happened to alter tbe score until tbe sixth. Cooney was the first man to bat.

By tbe time tbe Gladiator fielded In tbe ball he was panting on the third Dahlen tried to net In a hit to keep up his mcragc. He landed hard enoucli. but it went skiwara toward the i.ladia tor'K gardens. Pete ran to one side, and then a dandelion pot In hl pith and the ball (rot awn.

THAT NEW BtTLE. John B. Da Talks A'bout the Idea of Bat tlnc; in Kuns. . J.EW YORK. May 5. President John B. Day. who is a member or tbe Rules Committee of the atlonal League was asked tbe other day who was the author of the new rule regarding runs batted in to be placed In tbe summary or scores. Idonot know," he said, "for It nevercama before the committee and has not been passed upon." It would be a good Idea for the committee to get together and find out who is making rules pro miscuously for the National League, thus usurp ing tbe powers of tbe committee. The new rule is laughable, and ha done much to confuse scorers In the smaller cities, as the phrascoogy in the baseball guide is so worded that it Is difficult to understand. It says that the hatting average of players will be made ud largely from the record they make In batting In runs. 'Ihe trouble here is that plaj era who bat in runs get all the credit, while a player may make a three-base hit, with nobody on a base, and be gets no credit at all. Here is a case in point. In one of the Brooklyn gmes which ew York won. Whistler, In tne summary, gets the credit or winning the same, as hemadothe httwhlcb sent uore home. iore. however, did halftoward winning the game, for he led on Willi a two-base biL According to the rule, W hlstlcr would have got no credit had he led off with a three-bagger, and somebody else have batted him in. The question now is. who is the antbor of it? Ccmlulv not anroue who understands tbe game of baseball. . THEY WAHT TIM ZSEF3, The Philadelphia Magnates Anxious to Se cure the New Tork Pitcher. I'HiLADiLriiiA. May5. There Is llkelytobea change in the Philadelphia club and a new pla er or two may be engaged. Tbe work ot the team has not been up to expectation, and Man ager Harry Wright has been Instructed to strengthen wherever he thought it "as neces sary. Jir. Wright Is very much of the opinion that he would like to have a Ditcher of experience. If one could be bad. He wanted bbarrott. but Mew York would not let him go. President Day said to Colonel John L Rogers: "So, you can't have bharrott; we would sooner let you have Tim Keefe " After tbe game to-day Manager Wright said that Gleason would probably pitch to-inorrow, but he might trya newinau. Being asked who the newcomer was, Mr. Wright laughiugly re plied: " ' Oh, you want to know too much." "It Is not Tim Keefe. isltf" " elk strangir things than tbat have hap pened," was the veteran manager's laughing re sponse to this question. "Has Keefe slgred with the Phlladelpbias?" Mr. Wright answered: "No, but we have been negotiating with the New York club, and I will sign either Keelc or bharrott if I can." Ihe Philadelphia club Is alsoalter Pitcher W. T. Hutted, recently released by the Atlantic club. Baseball Notes. AXD Mr. Stein fooled the bos yesterdar. The boys will get there; J ust wait awhile. MAKRauoteof :u We've had our first shut out. Hatfield will hereafter play third base for Washington. , .Jons Waup will be nnable'to play for at least two weeks yet. There is an Important letter at this office for Pitcher Neeves. A hove run would have been very valuable for tbe boys yesterday. TiiKT were beaten, certalnlv. but they gave An son and his gang quite an argument. Fred Carroll's fielding was one of the features In yesterday's game at Chicago. lou LOFTCS will likelv secure Elmer Foster for the Cincinnati League Club If Anson releases him. JUST think of It! Only two hits off Stein and what tremendous thumpers we are supposed to have. ClarkSOV is under the weather. His arm is not in condition, and be has lost bis speed tem porarily. Hie Old Sport pitched another great game yesterdar. and if our sluggers had slugged he would have been victorious.

' Manager selee or the Boston team, toldare- Sorter 5 csterday that Iowe will nnrioubtedly be a xture In the oattleld. He refused to sat who would be laid oft, but It seems very probable that Stovey will be the one. as his work so far has not been what it should be. John B DAY J not in a hurry to part with any of bis surplus nlsrcrs. Colonel Rogers sound oca him about sharrott. bnt be wouldn't be tenanted. He --aid that he would be Just as willing to let Keefe go as Sharrott. and Intimated that tbe once great Timothy has lost bis grip.

Continued From First Fupe. sworn statements that they primarily sought to justify their Yerdict by attacking the line ot evidence presented by tbe State and attaching much weight to tbe arguments of counsel for defense. It was freely admitted by tbe jurors tbat remarks had been made in tbe jury room as early as the first day when testimony was offered, and repeated a number of times after, ward, "that tbo State was making a poor case," and was positively repeated at tbe close 'of the State's evidence. One quarrel at least was re ported, arising from tbe accusation by one juror to another with tbe expression: "You talk like you were fixed before you came here." They formed 110 conception of tbe tension to which the public mind was strung, though impressed with the deep Interest as sbown each day by tbe crowd of spectators in the court room. Concealment of Peculiar Events. It was clearly indicated that the necessity for secrecy was urged as the several jurors were selected and joined tbe company of their fel lows. It was impressed upon them at various times, and finally, before the verdict was ren dered, brought forward again with tbe injunc tion to destroy every vestige of evidence tbey bad and leave every thought and aet.bebind them. Surely tbe urgency of this was most cunningly devised to conceal tbe peculiar events that transpired in tbe jury room. Care ful observers testify with special reference to the marked inattention of tbe Jury as the wit nesses submitted their evidence a conduct most unbecoming and fraught with the gravest consequences when tbe momentous import of tbe issue is considered. We are led to con clude tbat tbo jury undertook to try tbe case when it was submitted, by their own estimate of tbe, value of statements made by parties not calledas witnesses. With strange unanimity they dwelt upon what they knew by reading and hearsay of certain incidents of tbe assassi nation prior to toe trial, ana maae tnese tne bases of tbe powerful persuasion forgiving tbe accused 'the benefit of tbe doubt and con cluding tbe deliberations in tbeir tavor. We Liust take occasion to say tbat it was not expected to obtain any evidence ot uudpe in fluence from tbe members' of the jury, for those who were uncorrupted had nothing to re Teal while the others would not mage them selves particepes crimlnes, yet Id tbeir numer ous statements, much was obtained baving a direct connection with, and supported by the great volume of testimony elicited during the course of the inquiry. One Feature Clearly Proved. It is clearly bronght out by evidence of the jurors that as affecting three of the accused, Poliiz, Scaifcdi and 'Jionasterio, the jurr en gaged in the deliberations in ibeir case some four or five hour?, attended with intense ex citement, and on repeated-ballots the jujfvoto stood six guilty, six not guilty, Tbls is aWearly defined indication of tbe convictions of the jury as to three accused. It impresses us deeply, as tt must everyone to 'whom tbe fact is conveyed, and forces tbo conclusion that the evidence was sufficient to justify the six jurors who stood resolutejand determined for a verdict of guilty, making it well nigh impossible to reach any otber conclusion than a mistrial. These three accused, named above, were probably tbe unwilling actors designated by leaders of tbo conspiracy to execute a villain ous part lu which they had neither personal motives nor Interests. Following this Investigation: it was quickly learned from various sources that talesmen had been approached. Every clew offered was taken up. As a rule, Jhe talesmen who had been previously marked out, were seen when aione or inviieu away to some seciuaeu ana un suspected place, well designed pretexts guard ing the real meaning of tbe talks, but auickly leading up to the great trial; talesmen were visited at tbeir homes during tbe evening or early morning, intercepted while on tbeir way to the Court House, stopped in the corridor of the coutt and the vile work was deliberately carried forward in the court room during the trial. One favorite expression was tbat "big money might be made by going on the jury and doing right," There is no possible doubt that such attempts were made by various parties in tbe service of the defense entertained by some of the talesmen and scornfully rejected by others. Tbese are facts given on tbe evidence of tales men wbo, quickly discerning the true meaning of the men who addressed them, indignantly repelled any attempt to control their line or conduct by tnese emissaries. In several in stances a rebuffAvas answered tbat tbe talk was a joke; but surely a well-directed joke of deep significance wben tbe leading part is enacted by the counsel of one of tbe accused partici pants in the assassination at the time awaiting trial in tbe parish prison now under indict ment for attempting to bribe a juror. A Remarkable Deficiency In Memory. Another class of tbe talesmen took special care to deny any knowledge ot the vile work or showed remarkable deficiency of memory as to wbatthey had told their friends, causing us to conclude that tbey were silent from fear, or had been seen and cautioned about incriminating any one until their tongues were silenced as with the hand of death. In this connection, we can plainly state tbat a number of the witnesses most emphatically denied having been ap proached or spoken to about service on tbe jury, even after telling it to their friends, who had informed us. There were young men from whom better things were expected. Of such we can-say, tbat to conceal and thereby at tempt to condone a crime. Is only a step re moved from participation in it. Among tbe talesmen, a . number of our citi zens have nobly coma forward from a sense of duty, relating tbeir experiences., furnishing at least some of tbe missing links in tbe chain of circumstantial evidence drawn around tbe or ganized gang of jury bribers. It is not to be questioned tbat tbo work was systematically executed after careful preparation, and it had to be done quickly, as tbe bours were few and the time precious. 'Ihe necessity was impera tive for complete lists of talesmen, but such lists were easily obtained as in other trials. The grand j 11 ry knows tbat tbo list of 500 tales men in tbe Hennessey case was in the office of O'Maliey and Adams at 1) o'clock Sunday morning. February 22, though the trial Judge issued special orders Saturday evening tbat tbe list was not to be made public or given to counsel of either side until Monday morning. It is not shown by whose hands tbe list was se cured, bnt enough is sbown to confirm the past secret and powerful influence of the so-called private detective agency and Counsel Adams to handle the machinery of tbe court. Tampering With the Jnry Lists. Tbe official relations of tbe Jury Commission ers to tbe Court in the trial of criminal cases are so intimate and far-reaching in their conse quences tbat tbe maladm'nistratlon of their duties bad become the fountain source of tbe successful fixing of jurors in important trials. Great or small pieces of evidence show that the list of names were tampered with when drawn from tbe jury wljeel, and befo're tbey reached the iurv box In the court. O'Mallev was nut in possession of tbe lists almost immediately after" tne names were arawn ana ueiore tney reacnea the District Attorney's office in due course. In fluential friends alone could accomplish tbese ends, but it was seenred in tbe person of one of tbe Commissioners lately removed. It is further shown tbat in tbe office of this detective agency is kept a book of names and addresses of jurvmen; out of SCO names drawn for tbe February panel, 32 were on tbe list in O'Maliey and Adams' office, and later, as tbe talesmen were drawn, many more names ap peared that ere on tbat private list. At times special lists were brought to tbe Jury Cotnmis-. sioners which, one of tbem stated, bad been prepared elsewhere, and. being looked over by tbe others, went into tho jury wheel. Truly, tbe business of tbis enterprising detective 'agency was facilitated when 32 names of their selection could be drawn on a panel or 300 j urors from a wbcel containing 1,000 names. We mnst express regret that any canse should exist tor tbe criticisms directed toward some of the deouty sheriffs employed in tbe court and at tbo parish prison. Unreliability seems to be tbe feature marking tbeir conduct, interrupting tbe confidence which should clothe- every subordinate officer of tbe law. There were those whose .indifference was so manifest while not detected in any act of in fidelitythat suspicion was arousefi as to tbeir sympathy with the accused, calculated to em-r b'arrass tbe best directed efforts of e prose cution. , . . A Violation of Secrecy. It is a noteworthy point in this connection tbat the Indictments against McCrystol and Cooney being read in tho court room in blank; tbe fact was at once communicated to them through some of the subordinates of tbe court. Under a proper condition of things tbe utmost secrecy should have been observed. It is further sbown that when tbe arrest was made of these two parties in tbe office of O'Maliey and Adams the deputy sheriff was asked by O'Maliey to say tbe arrest was made on Catondolet street, and It was so reported to the Court. In searching for tbe true causes of the crim inal actlops connected with tbe impaneling of the jury in the Hennessey cas, the sworn statement of Tbomas C. Cojlius is found of great value, and in this place we take occasion to declare tbat Collins was selected especially for tbe duties to be performed and for this purpose secured employment in O'Maliey 4 Adams' office, which being done, he was com missioned a special officer by tbe Mayor and paid by tbe city for tbis service. Tbe monev received by him each'week from O'Maliey & Adams for services rendered there was handed to tbe designated person at the City Hall. The difficult and danzerons duties assumed by Special Officer Collins, while acting in his double capacity, were performed with the strictest fidelity, as evidenced by tbe daily re ports in writing of everything seen or heard minute In all details, the correctness is assured. In fact, tbe material features of th statement and reunrts are su closely connected and iuter woved with the facts and circumstances con nected with the trial as confirmed -by various other witnesses tbat there 19 uot tbe allghtes. reason to doubt, its, accuracy andcorreetness. It unfolds the whole story of tire iniquitous workings of tbe arch conspirator and his lieu tenants, revealing the boundless power of a man to overcome and defv tbejnajesty of the law in criminal and civil proceedings through tbe operations of an unscrupulous private de tectlve agency. Hard to Establish a Conspiracy. Truly, it, may be said tbat tbe greater the freedom of action and the removal of restraint under the liberal privileges accorded all men in our country, the bolder becomes tbe unlawful practices, the greater tho villainy of such a combination of designing and unscrupulous malefactors. It is well known to the Court, and will be quickly realized by every thoughtful person, that tho difficulties of establishing the existence of .a conspiracy by adequate proof are almost insurmountable. Such clottings are done in secret places, and their workings orten guarded by the advice of counsel well versed in criminal law. 'Secrecy Is an essential element on the successful Cxocntiun of tbe designs of a conspiracy. Seldom does it happen that any one of the participants will reveal the villainy, either before or alter its execution. In the attempts to Influence the talesmen of the Hennessevcase.no visible act'was com mitted, and 'wo fully realize tbe difference between a crime-committed by words only, and what are known as vlsible-acM, which might be witnessed by otber persons and tell the tale of crime. Iu attempts to influence talesmen and the successful part of It, whispered words con- vejeu urn insinuation or tureciiy ouerea me money influence. This reference will serve to show tbe barriers tbls inquest bas encountered in securing evidence, bnt sufficient was offered by voluntary and reliable witnessos to justify tne indictment 01 six men, as ioiiows: Thomas McCrystol and James Cooney, with C. O'Maliey, for attempting to bribe a tales man, and Bernard Glaudl, Charles Granger and Farneard Armant, for 'attempt by eacb, to bribe three different talesmen. All Intimate With' O'Maliey. Tbese parties aro closely shown to have been intimato with O'Maliey, often at bis office, in formed of all doings, and were active workmen Liu the jury-fixing business generally. We are prompted to express ourselves in deprecation of tbe hesitation of many of our citizens to be connected wltb criminal prosecution by seek ing relief from jury duty. Tbe intelligent and law-ablding,with those engaged la the various enterprises ofbusiness and trade, must recog nize 'tbe obligation without which tbe guilty too often go unpunished. We urge tbem to past oil tbis reujignarice, to rise superior to tlie annoyances attendant upon trials, standing up with tbe great majority of their fellow men In tbe condemnation of detestable practices brought to a high degree of perfection by tbeir frequency, practices. which threaten to deaden anu destroy tbe virtues of tbe criminal code, to debase the temple of justice for ignoble ends, and degrade 'the cberisbed right of "trial by jury" from its high position as tbe exponent of trutb, justice and right. Taking into account the volume of testimony admitted by tbe numerous witnesses before this grand jury, and considering tbat evidence not only in tbe abstract relation to eacb party, but in its aggregate and collective bearing, we are forced to tbe conclusion tbat Dominies: C. O'Maliey is chargeable with a knowledge of, and participation in most, it not all, of the un lawful acts in connection with tbat celebrated case. With his skill as acquired by years of experience the most cunning laid schemes were planned and executed for defeating tbe legitimate course of justice, the chief aim and object being to place unworthy men upon tbe jury in the trial of the nine accused. Without his assiduous and corrupting influence, we be lieve tbe verdict would have been radically different and as a natural consequence tbo tragic occurrences of tbe 14th of March last never would have been recorded. Their View Upon Immigration. Then follows a great mass of matter as to the criminal record of O'Maliey and his associates. The subject of immigration is also treated by tbe grand jury at great lengtb. The report then continues: -In the presentation of tbe main features given to us as evidence, condensed as far as possible by the selection of tbe most important portions of the inquiry, we have referred mainly to tbe evidence bearing upon tbe trial of the nine accused In section B ot this Hon orable Court; but directly connected with all those circumstances are the terrible events transpiring on the 14th day of March last events which in themselves maybe charged as directly traceable to tbe miscarriage of jnstice as developed in the verdict rendered on March 13. We are deeply impressed with tbe serious charge delivered by Your Honor to tbis body on tbe subject, and at no time since have we lost sight of the necessity for a thorough inves tigation of all tbe conditions antecedent to it We have engazed ourselves most assiduously with tbe examination of a large number of witnesses, embracing thoso who were present at tbe meeting on Canal street in tbe vicinity of tbe parish prison, as well as several hundred of our lellow citzens taken from every rank and class of society. It is sbown In the evidence tbat tbe gathering on Saturday morning, March 14, embraced several thousand of the first, best, and even the most law-abiding citi zens of 'this city, assembled as is tbe rlgbt of Americau citizens.to discuss in public meeting questions of grave import. Wo find a general sentiment among tbese witnesses and also in onr intercourse with tbe people that the ver dict as rendered by tbo jury was contrary to tue law and tbe evidence, ana secured mainly tbrougb tbe designing and unscrupulous agents employed for tbe special purpose of defeating the ends of justice; also at tbat meeting tbe determination was sbown tbat the people would not submit to the surrender of tbeir rights into the bands of midnight assassins and tbeir pow erful allies. The Justification of the Lynching. Tho assassination of tbe late Chief of Police sbon-s the conspiracy. His death was deemed necessary to prevent tbe exposure and punish ment of criminals whose guilt was being fast established by bis diligent pnrsuic The condi tion of affairs in this community as to a certain class of violators of tbe law had reached such a state tbat the law itself was powerless to deal with tbem, so far-reaching was tbeir power and influence, in tbe trial of criminal cases. Good citizens were profoundly impressed by the re peated ana signal laiinres 01 justice, xne arts of tbe perjurer and briber seemed to dominate in tbe courts, paralyzlug and rendering power less tbe ends of justice. Certainly tbis was a desperate situation. In the public meeting above referred togeneral and spontaneous in character, as truly indicating an upns-ng of the masses we doubt it any nowerattbe command of the authorities would bave been sufficient to overcome its intentions. Evidence is before us from official sousces that 11 persons were killed in tbe attack on the parish prison. In tbe careful examination as to citizenship ot those men, we find that eight of them were beyond question American citi zens, and another bad "declared bis intention" in this court, which act carries with it tbe re nunciation of allegiance in his native country. It is a noteworthy fact in connection with tbe uprising tbat no injury was done to either person or property beyond tbe persons pre sumed to bave been tbe object ot tbe as semblage at the parish prison. We have re ferred to tbe large number of citizens par ticipating in this demonstration, estimated by judges at from 6.000 to8,000, and regarded as a spontaneous uprising of tbe people. Tbe mag nitude of tbis affair makes it a difficult task to fix tbe guilt upon any number of the par ticipants in fact tbe act seemed to Involve the entire people of tbe parish and city of New Orleans, so profuse is tbeir sympathy and ex tended their connection with tbe affair. In view of tbese considerations tbe thorough examination of tbe subject bas failed to dis close tbe necessary facts to justify tbis grand jury in presenting indictments. Respectlully submitted.

A EATHEii'S GKIEF CAUSES DEATH, While a Priest Protests the Innocence of Hl3 Dead Brother. SAD SCENES IN THE MOUNTAIN HOMES LONDOJf, May 5. The Fterald St. Peters burg correspondent has visited Sicily, and telegraphs as follows from, Palermo: I wish the man who led the lynchers at liew Orleans had been with me yesterday when I rode over the mountains to Caccamo in search of the widow and orphans of Pietro Monastero. Higb;up on a crag among the crooked streets of a village that existed be fore Christ, I fonnd her. Below the valleys were full of orange groves and flowers; above towered tbe ancient castle of Cacca mo and tbe giant sun-scorched rocks, among which tbe bandits held the merchant Arigo for ransom last year, in spite of a battalion of troops sent to' find him. Down the crazy lane I crept to tbe dim room from which Monastero went less than two years ago to America. Bronzed mount aineers and their children clattered ont to see the Herald correspondent who bad come all tbe way from St. Petersburg to visit the families of the slain Sicilians. J bave looked upon sorrow in many lands, but here I saw the most pitiiul scene of my llle. In tbe middle of a bare stone chamber sat the widow, draped from head to foot in black in the native manner. Aronnd her stood tbe five small orphans ot the dead man three toddling boys and two girls! The widow's face was Madonna-like in its simple beanty. Her, eyes were soft and dark. Xlving ou the Neighbors' Charity. On a rude table beside her were a fexr haniffuls of raw wheat contributed by tbe neighbors to feed tbe little ones. On tbe wall was the dusty crucifix, at which Mou astero prayed for success on tbe day be left his mountain home. Aronnd the room sat the five sisters of the dead man, and the doorway was choked np with tbe neighbors, wbo told me how good Monastero had been to the poor, and how everybody was con tribnting a few centimes to keep his help less family from starvation. I heard lor tbe first time that Monastero was a member of the Municipal Council and a hard-working, respectable shoemaker, who went to N ew Orleans to get money enough to pay bis village debts. One mountaineer showed me a list of names scrawled down by tbe committee tbat collected enongb everyday to barely feed tbe orphans. When I told the widow why her busband was killed by tbe New Orleans mob sbe cried like a child. "God in beavenl how could tbev murder tbe father ot these helpless children f" sbe wailed. "My poor husband, be was killed by cowards. where be could not help himself. A better, truer man never lived. So, nol 1 want no ven geance, no vendetta. I want no blood. What do I care whetberhls murderers are punished or not? It will not bring my hnsband back p life. Ob, GodI GodI GodI if you bad only seen him here and known wbat a good man he was!" Tbe frail figure in black trembled. Everyone in the room began to cry. Befase to Believe Him Dead. "In tbe name of God, see how his children refuse to wear black, because they will not believe their father is dead. Two of them do not remember him at all, and I bave no photo graph to show tbem. Ask everyone in tbe mountains about my husband. He never did wrong in his life, and he wrote to me from prison saying tbat be was innocent, and asking me to pray to holy St. Joseph to send him back to bis borne. We prayed mgbt and day to our good parron saint. " "He was not guilty. Never, never, never! It is Impossible.' I cannot understand how be came to be with those other men, but I know he committed no crime, It was all a cruel mistake. Why did tbey not send him away from America, instead of killing bimf My husband was a shoemaker here and got into debt. Because he was an honest man he went to America to earn money enough to pay his debt; tben he was coming back to Caccamo and was never, never going away again. If I could only get bis body, so I might take the children tq the grave r "No, I do not think the American people are cruel. They must be sorry for tbe murder of my husband and for me and my children. We have nothing to eat now bnt bat the people five us. My husband's five sisters and his old atber and mother are all supported by his brotber, a priest, wbo only gets one lira and a half a day" (thirty cents). "And are you sorry fdr us, toot" I bad to leave tbe house. The scene became too terrible. Higher ud among tbe crumbling walls I found tbe white haired father and niotber of Monastero sitting in a dreary butcb. Tbe'poor priest, Giuseppe, came down from the sleeping loft, his black eyes sparkling at tbe sight of a stranger and tbe weeping villagers. Innocence of His Brother. "Ah," he said, "I am gjad you have come for tbe truth. My brother was a spotless man, and I firmly believe be was innocent." Tbe priest spoke pure Italian, but now and then ho would drop a word or two in tho Sicilian dialect to comfort his old parents. "Pietro used to write to me from prison telling me he was Innocent. He even wrote poetry to me. A guilty man could not write such letters. He went to America because he conld not bear to be in debt. He had a credit ot 450 lira for bis little shoe shop, and wben he failed in bnslness it was simply because the times were bard." When I asked tbe priest if tbe people of Cac camo bad any desire for vengeance, be made tne sign 01 tne cross and shook bis nean saaiy, "No, we only weep and pray for tbe soul ot my brotber and try to feed bis widow and opbans. Life is very bard here. Tbey call my brotber 'Mafioso,' but tbey speak words tbey do not un derstand. 'Mafia' passed away from this land long ago; there is no such thing now. Tell tbe American people tbat wa are honest folk wbo CADnot understand how they allowed an inno Cont man to beublicly murdered. Tell them his widow and orphans are helpless." Everyone in tbe village had a sad story to tell, and the venerable bandmaster said tbat everybody understood tbatbe American Be- fiublic was not a nation of savages, but tbat tbe yncbing was done under extraordinary circum stances. He said tbat only yesterday eigbt men lett Caccamo to seek tbeir fortunes in New Orleans. Everyone in the village had a printed copy 01 a eulogy of tbe dead Monas tero, written by Rev. M. Guaggenti. But not alone at Caccamo did I find mourn ers. There is a confused jumble of poor dwell ings along tbe sea front of Palermo, and Hun dreds of Sicilians have gone out from those winding streets to start for America. On tbe top floor of an old stone bouse I fonnd tbe aged mother and two brothers ot Antonio Abbag nato, who was strangled in such a horrible manner in tbe presence of tbe mob. Tbe mother is a wrinkled, feeble woman, wbo stood shivering and crying in her black garb, while her eldest son read the dead man's last letter from prison, protesting his innocence and ask ing tbem nut to tell bis niotber of bis trouble. A blind bird sang in a cage on tbe wall. Tbe dark skipncd joung wives ot the brothers wrung their hands. A Letter From the Dead. "God will defend me, for I am innocent," said tbe letter. "I send my mother a kiss and ask for her blessing Pray to God for me and believe me that I am innocent.'1 The wbole thing seemed a dream to the poor mother. Her son bad written that be would soon come home, but tbe days bad passed and no Antonio came. Then sbe was told tbat tbe public had put her son to deatb, altbouzb be bad been declared Innocent by a jury, and tbat tbe police did nothing to prevent it. No one dared to describe tbe awfnl details or tbe deatb. "My son bad nothing to do with the Mafia," said Abbagnato's mother. "You cannot find in the whole of Sicily a man wbo can say a word against bis character. He went to Amer ica to earn more money and to see his aunts. He was my only support. The talk about tbe Mafia ia all false. There is no Mafia in Sicily, and if there was I am sure my boy wonld have nothing to do with it, They say be changed bis name in New Orleans, but you will see by his letters tbat be shortened it because be could not get tbe people there to spell it in tbe right way. "No, I do not think that my boy was killed because he was a Sicilian. It was because there was great excitement. I understand it, but tbat will not bring back my son to me. 1 am noorand be was my bread winner." As 1 went down tbe dark stairway I could bear the family sobbing, Ueralemo Carnso used to have a sister here in Palermo, but sbe married a sea, captain and is living In Port Said. In good condition, close by the Abbagnato dwelling, I discovered tbe brother and sister of Francesco Romeo. They are both married. The brotber Is a sailor.
