Massacre by an Indignant and Out-
raged Popu‘lace—A Mass Meeting of
Prominent Citizens Marches to the Jail
and Summarily Executes the Alleged
Assassins of the Crescent City’s Police
Chief.

NEW, ORLEANs, March 16.—The nine men

who have been on trial for the murder of
Chief Hennessy and who were acquitted

inserted at any 111 ice. Absolute accur am] gum - l have fallen before the bullets 0f the assas-

; sins and two were strung up to lampposts

outside the parish jail and riddled with
bullets. Five thousand men took part in
in this summary proceeding, and among
them were num—
bered many of the
leading citizens.
Eight more Itali-
ans of the nine-
teen imprisoned
charged with par-
ticipation in the
assassination o f
Chief Hennessy
were left alive and
trembling in their
cells. And then
the question arose
What to do with

cused the day before and the detective ac—

Would
it not be well to let them, too, taste the

popular wrath of what was believed to be

a shameless perversion of justice?
A Call to Arlns.

The verdict roused the slumbering wrath
of the populace. Although in the popular
belief the guilt of five of the prisoners had
been clearly established the jury, inspired
by terror of the vendetta or else by money,
had brought in a verdict of not guilty. It
was too much to be borne.

There was a meeting Friday night, while
flags of joy were fluttering in the Italian
quarter, of prominent business and pro-
fessional men, merchants, public officials
and others, at which it was decided to call
a general mass meeting at 10 o’clock at the
Clay statue, on St. Charles street, themost
prominent place in the city. A call was
issued as brief as it was ominous:

“All good citizens are invited to attend a
mass meeting on Saturday, March 14, at 10
o’clock a. m., at the Clay statue, to take
steps to remedy the failure of justice in the
Hennessy case. Come prepared for action.”

City. Leaders.

The signers to the call were men known
everywhere in the city, men of note and
character. They were as follows: John C.
Wicklifie, W. S. Parkerson, D. F. Glover,
Henry D. Brunas, J. G. Pepper, William
H. Deeves, C. E. Rogers, Richard S. Vena—
bles, F. E. Hawes, Samuel B. Merwen,

mau, R. H. Hornbeck, John V. Moore, S.
P. \Valmsley, William T. Pierson, E. H.
Pierson, C. L. Stegal, James D.’ Houston
and E. T. Leche.

W. S. Parkerson, the leader, is a promi-
nent lawyer here, the president of the
Southern Athletic club and the man who
led the vigorous city reform movement
three years ago. \Valter D. Deneger, an-
other of the speakers, is one of the leaders
of the New Orleans bar; John C. VVicklilfe,
also a prominent attorney, and James D.
Houston, one of the solidest men in the city.

A Determined Crowd.

It was a bugle call to arms, and it was
answered by an army. At 9 o’clock the
citizens were swarming into the square as
they swarmed on that great September day
sixteen years ago. Hundreds of them bore
arms upon their shoulders, rifles and shot—
guns, and few among that excited and
determined multitude but had revolvers
in their pockets.

“Fall In!”

“Fall in! Fall in!” was the cry, and the
crowd formed a procession which went
around the railing several times.

“Hurrah for Parkerson!” “Hurrah for
\Vicklifl’e!”

“Get inside the railing and give us a
speech!” These and other cries made up a
confusion of voices, among which the
angry tone was significantly predominant.
The space inside the railing was occupied
by a. dense crowd.

“Come. down from those steps,” was the
request, “and let Mr. Parkerson and Mr.
VVickliife get there.”

The crowd obeyed with alacrity, and
soon the speakers held their positions of
vantage. A rush was made for the nar-
row gate, and in a minute there stood a
packed mass of humanity around the
statue of the immortal Clay.

An Inflammatory Appeal.

Mr. Parkerson spoke first. “Once be—
fore,” said he, “I have appeared before the
people in grand mass meeting assembled
to discuss matters of vital interest to the
community. Again I face the people of
New Orleans to denounce the infamous act
which was consequent upon the most rc—
volting crime in the criminal annals of any
community. That act was the finding of
the jury in the murder trial, and that
crime was, as everybody knows, the foul
assassination of Chief Hennessy. I am a
plain American citizen, and as a good citi-
zen I am here to say that things have come
to such a crisis that talk is idle. Action—
action must be the thing now.

“In civilized communities tribunals are
organized and are delegated to punish the
guilty. Crimes must meet prompt pun-
ishment. But whenever and wherever the
courts fail, wherever juries are recreant to
their oaths and perjurers and suborners
are present, then is the time for the people
to do what courts and juries have failed
to do.

“In the midst of a peaceful community
111 0111091 of the law was 81.1 101.011 down by

 

a band of midnight assassins.
has been defied. The time has come when
this infamy must cease. Scoundrels must
meet with punishment, murderers must
be given their deserts.

“W'e Are Ready. ”

“The jury has failed. Now the people
have to act. I ask you, citizens of New
Orleans, whether we shall suffer this in-
famous condition of affairs any longer? I
ask you to consider, fairly and calmly,
what is to be done. Shall it be action?
We are ready. These gentlemen and I are
here present to do what is necessary to lead
you. \Vhat shall it be? Do you want us
as leaders?”

At this point the speaker’s voice was
drowned by a storm of cheers ‘Vheu the
speaker could again be heard he said:

“Are you ready? Are there men enough
here?” only to be interrupted again by .1.
loud chorus of v oices exclaiming:

‘ Yes, yes, come on! lead on!”

Mr. Parker son 11' as followed by \Valtei
Dcneger and John C \Vickliffc, 1v ho spoke
in much the same strain.

The Blob Starts.

“On to the jail!” was now the cry. “Let’s
go! Come on, lVickliffe! Come on, Par
kerson!”

And then some one with a tremendous
voice raised a cry, “Shall we get our guns?”
A roar of approval followed this, and then
Mr. Parkerson said, “Yes, get your guns
and meet us in Congo square immediately.”

They “’erc Armed.

Not many went away to get their guns.
They had them ready, and the great crowd
fell into solid columns, filling the streets
from curb to curb and striking into a.
steady march, as of soldiers on the way to.
battle.

Down Congo street to Rampart, ' and
Rampart to Congo square the great. mob
marched, the leaders at the head. And all
the time new comers joined the ranks.
They were very quiet 110w, and the only
sound was the steady tramp of marching
feet. Their faces were set and very pale.
It was veiv teirible business 11 hich they
were on. But' 111 the balconies abo1e were
thousands of men and women 111 ging them
on with shouts and yells. On they went,
on to the jail itself, and Parkerson still
ahead.

\thre Are the Assassins?

With sturdy strides he mounted the
steps and knocked upon the gate. Ashe
did so the crowd filed in behind him and
filled the square so densely that a regi-
ment of soldiers could not have dislodged
them with bayonets.

As no one answered the knock a large
billet of wood was secured and hurled
against the outside wooden door. It gave

way with a crash, and the crowd poured
in with an impetuous rush, yelling for the
keys to the inside door. The sheriff was
away looking, he said, for protection from
the mayor, who was conveniently not to
be found, and the deputies in charge dared
not withstand the demand. The authori-
ties were rcally lukewarm in the way of
stopping violence. The keys were brought
and again the crowd surged in. At first
they entered a large cell attached to the
white people’s yard, which was crowded
with trembling prisoners, but when told
that the men they sought were not there
they filed out again.

Suddenly a blanched face was discovered
at a. grated window on the second tier.

“That’s Scoifaldi!” yelled one of: the 1110b,
and a roar like that of wild beasts followed
the cry of recognition. A dozen shots were
fired at the window, but the face had dis-
appeared. It was not the Italian, and fortr
unately he was not hit. Then some one
shouted that the prisoners sought were in
the female ward, and another yell for the
keys was heard. “The keys! the keys!
Batter down the door!”

“Hold 011, gentlemen,” said a. young man
with a Winchester, holding a key above
his head; “I have the key here. But you
do not want to shed innocent blood. \Vho
knows the assassins?”

“I do, I do,” from a score of throats.

The Sicilians were found crouching in a
corner 011 their knees wailing and shriek-
ing for mercy. They had heard the sound
of the catapult and the crescendo roars of
the furious and bloodthlrsty crowd. They
knew that they were doomed, but still
they cried piteously for life.

Shot Like Rats in 3. Corner.

The fusilladc which followed was terrific.
Rocco Geracci was nearest and a single
bullet in the chest finished him. Charles
Terrahin and Jim Caruso were riddled
with buckshot, and Frank Romero, alias
“Nine Fingered Frank,” was shot in the
forehead as he knelt facing the mob, his
hands over his face. Loretto Comitez was
filled in head and body with buckshot,
while Peter Monasterio, the only one who
had his back turned to the avengers, was
shot in the back of the head. No time
was wasted for sentiment and leading
members of the committee gave the orders
to fire.

Then the avengers ran back into the
prison again and found three others hud-
dling in their cells—Antonio Scoffaldi, An-
tonio Marchesi and Joseph P. Macheca.
The latter had secured a pistol by some
means, and he fought like a . rat in a
corner, shooting Police Sergeant Herion in
the neck. The avengers closed in on him,
and after riddling his clothes with shot,
none of which strangely enough pene-
trated his body, proceeded to club him to
death. Scofialdi was killed by a gunshot
wound above the right eye. Marchesi was
shot in the head and left for dead, but did
not die until later on.

The boy Marchesi was spared by order of
Mr. 'Wickliife, who said that he was too
young to hang, although undoubtedly
guilty.

A Ghastly Example.

But there was a still more dreadful act
in the tragedy to come. The avengers
were not yet satisfied. They wanted more,
and they wanted to make a more public
example for the benefit of Sicilian bandits.
A crowd of them got hold of Baguetto and
dragged him out of the jail. He was al—
ready wounded unto death, and a trail of
blood followed when they dragged him,
while his dark face was all besmeared with
blood. As the crowd in the square caught
sight of him they uttered a roar of frenzied
rage. They had heard the shots within
the jail, but had not seen the slaughter
which accompanied them. N ow'was their
opportunity. Some one brought a rope
and it was thrown around his neck. The
other end was cast over the limb of a. tree
and the dying wretch swung up. Then a.
fuslllade from a score of weapons ended
his sulferings in an instant.

On the other side of the jail the crazy
Manuel Polizzi met a similar fate on the

arms of a lamppost, and his body, too, was

riddled with bullets and buckshot.
_ Carried 011‘ in Triumph. ‘

This ended the slaughter, and the leaders
cried halt. They had accomplished the
work for which they came, and they were
willing tolet authority in the person of
the. coroner resume its sway.

WANTS SHARE.

Mrs. Mary Fl’tnnery Claims Part of
$3,000,000.

 

 

THE TENTH CLAIMANT.

Left Behind in Ireland When a/Baby,

Lived out as a Servant and

Now Contesting .Her
Father’s \Vill.

Buooxm’x, March 16.— ovidence was
filed in the city court by Charles H. Otis,
referee in the suit of Mrs. Mary Flannery,
to secure he1 rights in the estate of Cor-
nelius Donnel len, deceased, which is esti-
mated to be 11 01th nearly :33, 000,000. The
suit was brought several months ago. Mrs.
Flanncry is the wife of Patrick Flannery,
and lives at Haverstraw, on the Hudson.
She sued Mrs. Eleanor Donnellen and
Eleanor R. Donnellen, wife and daughter
of Cornelius Donnellen, who died about a
year ago at 116 Pacific street. this city,
leaving his fortune to nine children.

1111's. Flannery's Petition.

Mrs. Flannery in her petition asks that
deeds of certain flats made by Donnellen
to his wife and (laughter, worth about $500,—
900, be set aside, and that she be allowed a.
share in the estate as a daughter of Cor-
nelius Donnellen. She alleges that she is
one of two children born to Mr. and Mrs.

Donnellen in Dublin, Ireland, where they

were married.
Left in Ireland. .

She then goes on to relate that her par-
ents came to this country and left her in
Ireland. \Vhen her mother wrote to her
to come to America Mrs. Flannery says she‘
came, and was at first well treated, but was
finally compelled to go out as a servant in
order to support herself. “Thile in service
she married Patrick Flanncry.

Charles H,. Otis was appointed referee to
take the testimony of Mrs. Donnellen.
His report shows that Mrs. Donnellen says
that Mary Flaunery is not her child and
has no claim upon the Donnellen estate.
In her testimony she relates that Mary
Flannery was the daughter of a poor
washerwoman of Dublin. The woman
died when her child was but two weeks
old, and Mrs. Donnellen says she took
compassion upon the helpless babe and
cared for it and brought the girl to Amer—
ica. with her and kept her until she was
able to support herself. She never adopt-
ed the child. The testimony goes on to
say that when in Dublin the Donnellen
family were communicants of the English
church of St. Peter, and that her one child
born in Ireland was baptized there.

Proof of Her Baptism.

After the taking of this testimony Law-
yer Henderson Benedict, counsel for the
plaintiff, sent to Dublin and procured a.
copy of the baptismal register of St. Peter’s
church. Mr. Benedict said that the de-
fendants had no knowledge of the infor-
mation he had obtained. He is of the
opinion that he has evidence which will
prove Mary Flannery’s claim that she is
the daughter of Cornelius and Eleanor
Donnellen.

He says the records of St. Peter’s parish
show that two children born to the Don-
nellens were baptized there, and that one
is Mary, the plaintiff. He expects to prove
that Mary came from Ireland and lived.
with the Donnellens. and that Mrs. Flan—
nery has a letter which was written to her
by her mother asking her to come to
America. The case will probably come up
for trial in the city court this week.

Two llIen Killed in a “'reck.
PHILADELPHIA. March ‘10.—An engine

,and six cars on the secoml section of train

No. 74 were wrecked at Cranberry switch,
two miles south of Beaver Valley, about
9:30 o’clock Friday night. The engineer,
John Fisher, and Fireman James \Vood
were killed, and Brakeman Clinton Harder
had his leg broken. The accident was
caused by the engine strikinga brake beam
which had fallen from a preceding train.
The engine and four cars went over a re-
taining wall fifty feet high. Traffic was

NEW YORK, March 16.-Ex-Senator VVar-
ncr Miller and a party composed of some

Six lunatics were burned to death in the
fire at the Tennessee insane asylum, near
Nashville.

Herr \Vindthorst, the famous leader of
