Chicago, May 5.-H31adiator Browning pre.
sented Chlcaco with to-day's game at the
Southside Park. Peter's fail
ure to get under uablens
rocket fly made assurance
doubly sure. It was the only
1 run that ornamented tbe
blackboard. Tbe Chlcacos
played with a dash that was
refreshing. Every chance
' . . mat. caiue Aiuug nas v
lrfcepted. Tbe game was as
r. full of points as a pincusb-
r tic ion is of pins. "Pirate King"
' 1 O'Xeil is sarins King for
Pit l (ill Cincinnati. He was down on
tbe cards to dispense In.hoots,
but when Umpire McQaade
called the game Jeems Ualvln
waddled into the 6quare.
Stein pitched his first game for
the Chlcacos He bad bis
speed with him. and Hanlon's prize beauties only
picked offtwochancc hits. 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. There
was a snapplug sound like a distant rifle shot,
and cooney started like a streak of lightning
around the base path
Pete's Bad Mistake.
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.
Coonev registered on the plate and Dahlen went
to second on the throw In. The next three bats
men ient out In order. Alter that only one man
reached first
Hit feature of tbe game was a triple play, the
flrt recorded In the Leaput thisbcat-on. It came
about In the sixth. Up to that time only three
Pirates had gone bevond Anion's hack. Mela
then became a trifle wild, and Hecfcley and Ca--roll.
Mho started off the inning, were presented
with first base. Browning, with tnoon theTsh
lons and no hands out. bunted, and the sphere
dropped Into l'fcffer's hand. Heckle) wisabout
10 Teet away from second, and Carroll was nearly
hall way to the second, l'fefler sent the ball to
Coonej who covered seconu. and he in turn shot
the bal to Anon Alter that Juu three Pirates
reached the initial stitlon. "rite Pirates had been
defeated In one or the prettiest and closest games

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.

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.

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

would have been victorious.

Manager selee or the Boston team, toldare-
Sorter 5 csterday that Iowe will nnrioubtedly be a

Stovey will be the one. as his work so far has not
been what it should be.

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.

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

"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. As
bo satin bis little room his grim Saracenic
countenance gleamed iu tbo flickering candlo
light. His sister wore a Sicilian bandana
arodnd bee bead. On tbo walls wero pictures
of saints and martyrs.

leit a widow ana seven cnuaren in xiew ur
leans. Ah. Ood! how could they do it, without
pity and jritbout justice! Our poor father was
91 years old. When he beard tbe news he could
not bear it; bo fell on tbe floor just where yon
are, Signor, and now be is in his grave. He
loved Francesco and wanted to see him, nut he
would not leave rue. It was fate."
Tbe neighbors began to crowd into tbe room
to see the American correspondent. "I nnrsed
him," cried tbe sister, rocking to and fro.
"They took my .heart away. My poor brother
was called a '.Matloso.' "
The sailor walked tbe floor. "It was cowardly
to kill a defenceless prisoner." he said. "They
were locked in. My brother did not deserve
such a deatb. He was 'a good fellow. Mafia i
Mafia! of Egypt! It is nonsense tbat tbey
speak. I have no feelings of revenge. I sup
nose they will try tbe men wbo killed my
