MURDERERS OF CHIEF HENNESSY AT NEW ORLEANS LYNCHED, eleven n.goa »hot or Hanged by a "Com- Mittee" of 8,000 Citizen*—-A Storm of Indignation From Italians All Over the !«l International Compll eatluns 1'mbable. NEW ORLEANS, March 1®.—The people of New Orleans have avenged the cow ardly murder of David C. Henneuy, chief of police, who was alm'n on the night of Oct. 13 last. The names of those who paid the death penalty for the crime were Manuel Polietz, Pietro Monastro, Antonio Scaf fedi, Joseph P. Macheca, Antonio Mar chesi, Antonio Bagnetto, Frank Romero, Jim Caruso, Rocco Gerachi, Charles Trahine and Coniitez. The verdict of the jury in the cases of the eleven Italians on trial for the mur der, having been read in court, a meet ing of lawyers, doctors, merchants and political leaders—all persons of influence and social standing—was quietly held, and it was decided that some action must be be taken, and the people's jus tice, swift and sure, visited upon those whom the jury had neglected to punish. Saturday morning a call for a mass meeting at Clay square on Canal street, appeared in the papers, which editorially deprecated violence. The significant closing sentence of the call was, "Come prepared for action." Answered by the Popul.ee. The call was answered by the pop ulace. At 10 o'clock there was a crowd of several thousand anxious people con gregated around the statue. They hardly knew what was going to happen, but they seemed ready to go any length, and while there were, of course, many of the lower element in the throng, alarge pro portion were the leading people of the town. There were three addresses, short and pithy and' business-like, and the as semblage, not unwilling, wac soon keyed up to a high pitch, demonstrative in its denunciation of the assassins. Each of the speakers said there had been a great mass meeting-months before which had met quietly and dispersed peacefully so that the law might take its course. The law had failed. The time to act had come. W. S. Parkerson, the leader, is a prominent lawyer here, the president of the Southern Athletic club, and the man who led the vigorous city reform move ment three years ago. Walter D. Doneger, another of the speakers, is one of the leaders of the New Orleans bar John C. Wickliffe, also a prominent at torney, and James D. Houston, of the foremost men of the state. After de nouncing Detective O'Malley, who is supposed to have tampered with the jury, the speakers announced that they would lead the way to the parish prison. The crowd by this time num'ered Fully 8,000 People. There was just the slightest momentary lull in the fctorm. Then some one yelled: "Shall we get our guns!" "Ye3, get your guns," said Mr. Parkerson. "Get your guns and meet us inf Congo square immediately." Loud cheers were given as Mr. Parkerson and the other gentle men moved down the steps. Then an ominous silence reigned and the steady tramp, tramp, tramp of men falling into line and marching along waa heard. The parish prison was reached at 10:30 o'clock. The Woodeii Door XVmm Broken in by a large billet of wood used as a cata pult, and heavy recks were also poured against it. The door yielded and there was a wild rush for entrance. The' door leading into the white prisoners' yard was open and the avengers crowded through. A cell just at the door was opened and it was crowded with prison ers who were trembling in every limb. A deputy stood in the door and informed the crowd that none of those jn that cell wfere the prisoners wanted. Then the mob filed out into the yard. When the armed men got on the inside of the jail the prisoners ran down into the yard below. They begged and pleaded for nnercy, Bat Their Avengers Were Mvrctleaa, and a deadly rain of bullets poured into the crouching figures. Gerachi, the closest man, was struck in the back of the head and his body pitched forward &nd lay immovable on uie stone pave ment. Romero fell to his knees, with his face in his hands and in that position was shot to death. Moastero and James Caruso fell to gether under the fire of half a dozen guns, as did also Cometez and Trahinia. W hen the group of assassins was dis covered on the gallery, Macheca, Scof fedi and old man Marchesi separated from the other six and ran up stairs. ThitLer half a dozen men followed them and the terror-stricken assassins Were Slain .a Thejr Ran. Old man Marchesi was the only man who was not killed outright. Ge was struck on the top of the head while he stood beside Macheca, and, though he was mortally wounded, he lingered all the evening. Pollitz, the crazy man, was locked up in a cell up chairs. The doors were flung open and one of the avengers, tak ing aim, shot him through the body. He was not killed outright, and, in order to satisfy the people oh the outside, who werie crazy to know what, was going on within, he waa dragged down the stairs and brought through the doorway by which the crowd had entered. Half carried, half dragged, he was takei. to the corner. A rope was pro vided and tied around his neck, and the people pulled him up to the cross bars. Not t-atisfied that he was dead, a score of men took aim and poured a volley of Bhot into his body, ana for several hours the booy was left dangling in the air. Bagnetio was treated in a similar man ner. Just as soon as the bloody work was done Mr. Parkerson addressed the crowd and asked them to disperse. This the consented to do with a ringing shont,' bnt first they made a rush for Parkerson, and lifting him bodily, supported him od their shoulders while they marched up the street. The avengers came back in a dody to the Clay statue and then de parted. few Tin Pint* Factory.

The President Daly Deplores the Actios of th. Now Orleans Mob. WASHINGTON, March 16.—Baron Fava, the Italian minister, has formally brought to the attention of the president the slaughter of theSicillian prisoners in the pariah jail at New Orleans. As a result, Secretary Blaine sent the follow ing dispatch to Governor Nicholls: "It hM been represented to the presi dent by the minister of Italy accredited to this government that among the victims of the deplorable massacre which took place in the city of New Orleans Saturday wen three or more subjects of the king of Italy. Our treaty with that friendly. government (which under the constitution is the supreme law of the land) guarantees to the Italian subjects domiciled in the United btafcs the most constant protection and it or he amenable on the same basis as our own citizens, to the laws of,the United States and of the several states, in their due and orderly administration. The presi dent deeply regrets that the citizens of tfew Orleans should have so disparaged the purity and adequacy of their own judicial tribunals as to transfer to the passionate judgment of a mob, a ques tion that should have been adjudicated dispassionately and by settled' rules of law. The government of the United States must give to the subjects of friendly powers that security which it demands for our own citizens when temporarily under a foreign jurisdiction, it is the hope of the president that you will co-operate withliim in maintaining the obligations of the United States to wards the Italian subjects who may be within the perils of the present excite ment, that further bloodshed and viol ence may be prevented and that all of tenders against the law may be prompt ly brought to justice." THEY THIRST FOR VENGEANCE. ItaUan. All Over the World Exelted Over th. New Orleans Slaughter. LONDON, March 16.—A dispatch from Rome says that the news of the massa cre of the Italian prisoners at New Orleans has created a profound sensation and cables have been passing between the cabinet and the Italian minister at Washington. The general feeling is of indignation and thirst for vengeance of some sort. It is expected that the sub ject will be brought up in the chamber of deputies. In the taik on the Btreet and in public places strong protests were uttered against any representation of Italy at the coming American exhi bition. Count Rasponi, of the Italian legation in Paris, expressed himself in very strong tf rms on what he called the cruel massacre of his countrymen. He said Italy could not afford to let such on out rage on humanity go without redress, and that it was a stain on the American people that could never be effaced. He added that, in his own personal opinion, it ended all prospect of Italy taking any part in the Chicago exhibition. The count was very excited. Among Italian residents in London there is much excitement on the subject and the slaughter is fiercely denouueed. There is some talk of amass meeting of Italians id.this city to protest against the course of the American authorities in permitting such a crime and to re quest King Humbert to demand satis faction. POISON PROMISED To the Leader of th. K.w Orleans Mob. The Stilleto for the Best. NEW ORLEANS, March 18.—'W. S Parkerson has received the following note, purporting to come from a mem ber of the Mafia' society: "You are a doomed man, and God Almighty cannot save you. We have it sworn. Our comrades you murdered and we kill you. You will be poisoned. The stil letto will do for the rest." Neither Mr. Parkerson nor his friends are at all con cerned about the threats. Mr. Parker son said he was proud that no violence was visited upon the innocent prisoners. Asked Protection in Vain. NEW ORLEANS, March 16.—Mr. Pas quale Corte, the Italian consul in this city, states that he called on the mayor of New Orleans and governor of Louis iana and asked for protection for the Italian subjects among the prisoners. None was given by either official. He immediately4 communicated with the Italian minister in Washington and also with the home government at Rome. Four of the eleven are Italian subjects," viz: Monasterio, Marchesi, Comitet and Trahina. The others are either of American birth or naturalized. Satisfaction Promised. ROUE, March 16.—The Italian cabinet has instructed by cable the Italian min ister at Washington, Baron De Fava, to. protest vehemently against the murder of the Italians in the prison at New Orleans. Baron Fava has cabled in re ply that he had presented the protest to the government of the United States and received in reply the promise that full satisfaction would be given. Kx-Secretary Bayard's Opinion. WILMINGTON, Del., March 18.—Ex Secretary Bayard says he sees no ba$is on which the Italian government could claim indemnity for tbe men killed at New Orleans, There was no discrimina tion against Italian citizens and Ameri can citizens. The case was not parallel to the Wyoming massacre of Chinamen, in which indemnity was allowed. MADE ARCHBISHOP.

That official, when awed to tell the story, said: "The amount of money to be used in purchasing votes was |21, 600. This money was drawn from a bank in Fresno,'but the name of the bank'I will not give you. The amount to be paid each member "was $2,000. That is all I shall say." The memorandum in the hands of At torney General Hart gives the names of the assemblymen purchased and the amounts each received.
