No Further Demonstrationsby the New Orleans Mob. ITALY MUST BE SATISFIED. International Complications Follow the Lynching. May Public Feeling in Italy Wrought Up to a. High Pitch—Americans in Palermo. Their Safety, Flee to France—A New Theory of Chief lien- . Fearing for nessy’s Murder Advanced by an ex- Police Official of New Orleans \Vhich Goes to Show That It Was Not the Work of the Mafia—Pathetic Incident of Saturday’s \Vild Outburst. NEW ORLEANS, March 17.—Though this city, even within twenty-four hours after Saturday‘s terrible uprising, had resumed, to all outward appearance, its former calm, the feeling which had led to the lynching of the eleven Italians remained deep and earnest. and is still present to- day. It was asserted Monday, on apparent au- thority, that if D. C. O’Malley, the private detective held responsible for the bribing of the jury which acquitted the Italians, did not get out of town he would be the next victim of the vigilance committee. It was not really believed, however, among the authorities that the mob would go any further with the executions. “They have put out of- the way,” said a prominent officer, “the men whom they believed to have escaped punishment by due process of law. In doing so they have set their mark upon the proceedings, and have given warning that they will not en- dure any more of what they have consid- ered a scandalous miscarriage of justice. I don’t believe they will do any more work at present, anyway. Whether they were right in what they have done is a matter that men will always dispute over. I do not care to say what I think or to be quoted in any way. The 14th of March, though, will be a. marked date in New Or- leans hereafter.” No Ordinary l‘Iob. The fact that the mob which did Satur- day’s lynching was of no ordinary sort has been recognized from the beginning of the violent proceedings. As an instance of how carefully they selected the men who were to die at their hands, the case of the accused boy Asperi Marchesi may be cited. Asperi is a‘ handsome young fellow, popular among his Italian associates, and an object of special interest during the trial of the men. It was not charged that he had an active hand in the murder of Chief Hennessy, but only that he did a boy’s part, being assigned to give the sig- nal for the assassination by running past the shanty where the murderers were con- cealed when he saw the chief approaching and giving a peculiar whistle. The state hardly desired to wreak venge- ance on this boy, and so consented to a charge to the jury which virtually meant that he would be finally liberated, no mat- ter what was the verdict. ' The crowd took the same view of the matter and 'did not touch him. After the shooting was over he came to the grafing in the door and asked anx— iously for his father. Some one unkindly told him that his father had been killed. The boy almost went crazy with grief. Fellow prisoners tried in vain to quiet him, and they had to use force to prevent him from tearing his eyes out. A reporter called him to the door and quieted him somewhat by telling him his father was alive, as the old man was at the time, though his wound proved fatal later. Swore His Father \Vas Innocent. \Vhen the boy quieted down somewhat he was asked about his knowledge of the assassination, but he was faithful to his friends. V“I know nothing,” he said. Later in the day an Italian gentleman visited the room in hopes of obtaining some confession from the boy. Recogniz- ing a. countryman the boy rushed up to him and threw his arms around the visit- or’s neck. “Is my father dead?” he said. “The last time I saw him he was well,” answered the gentleman, forcing a smile. This reassured the boy, and the gentleman said good naturedly, “I guess you wont whistle any more, Asperi.” The boy sobered up at once, and, kneel- ing, dramatically said: “So help me God, my father was innocent. I know nothing about the killing, and my father was in bed with me that night.” The gentleman tried a different line of questioning, but always met with the same result. The elder Marchesi was supposed to be dead before 7 o’clock. Saturday evening, but at that hour he suddenly rose to his feet, threw his arms wildly about, gave a choking gasp through his bleeding throat and then sank lifeless at the feet of his dumfounded attendant. That the shooting of the prisoners was begun with a. considerable degree of calm- ness is shown by the manner in which the first volley took effect, six men falling un- der the fire and their wounds ranging at about the same points, the aim of the fir- ing party being very even. Pietro Monasterio, in whose shanty the murderers of Chief Hennessy hid until their victim approached, died hard. After the first volley, as he lay upon the prison floor, he feebly raised his blood. stained hand to his wounded neck. Some one noticed the movement and yelled out he was alive. Give Him Another Load. “Give him another load!” said an elderly man, but no one would do it. The man was fast dying. He could not live over an hour in his condition, and no one wanted to put any more bullets in the dying wretch. A young man who stood near the door of the corridor pulled a revolver from his pocket, and handing it to the elderly man said, “I’ve a gun—will this do?" The elderly man took the pistol and poised it 1n his hand for a moment, took deliber- ate aim and fired. As the bullet struck the wounded man he started up suddenly, threw back his head gave a groan and d1ed - Much intuest is felt 1n the question of what the grand jury w1ll do 1n the. matter of thelynching Several of its members Vesitcd-thc Parish prison and took camera views‘bf the ponions connected with Sat.— -urd.tv’s t1 .Igital event. Some action is ex- pected from the body either today or to- morrow. ' As for the petit July which rendered the mischievous verdict its foreman, Jacob Seligman, was quietly escorted to a Queen and Crescent train and started for Cin- cinnati. It 1s declared to be known that Seligman went upon the jury 11ith a con- siderable sum of money in his possession. His methods of communicating with the outside have not yet been disclosed. It is charged that Jurors Boizen and Donegan“ were also fixed before they went into the jury room. Most of the other jurors were mere boys, persons without standing in the community or men easily led. Tronchet,Berry and MacKesy and others, who are believed to have been honest, had no interests at stake and allowed them- selves to be swayed by the positive stand of the others, but stopped at the proposi- tion to liberate all the accused. Jurors Keep Out of Sight. The six men who insisted in the general acquittal have been keeping out of sight since the violence of the popular feeling broke forth. Only one Italian flag was visible about the city yesterday, and that was on the mast of the Macheca line steamship. On Friday afternoon and on Saturday morn- ing. before the lynching, the Italian colors had bccn abundantly displayed in celebrar‘ tiou of the' jury ’s verdict, an 1 preparations had been begun for a great banquet and 1eception to the acquitted men, to take pl ace as soon as they were roll-used. The dead Italians have now all been buiied—four in the Pottcr’ s Field, seven by their people. There were originally nineteen under finest, and the eight sur- vi. ors held .1 meeting in one of the larger prison cells yesifirda to congratulate themselves 0v e1 their escape. They were not found by the mob. Seven of them have not been tried. The mm 'd which invaded the prison had to hunt 11p the doomed mcn without assistance, the keepers refusing to notes guides. There has been some censure of the sheriff over the fact that no resistance was offered to the mob. To this the officer replies that his forces were too greatly outnumbered to succeed, and that an at- tempt at (lefiflll‘e would have cost much vain shedding of blood. Not t-Lhcl 11st. icinarkable feature of the affinr is the almost unanimous approval of the lynching by press aul public. This indicates a feeling which will be difficult for people outside the city immediately afiectcd to understand, even as it will be to the same outsiders hard to see 110w such men as Lawyer W. S. Parkcrson, the son of an eminent judge, and James D. Hous- ton, a wealthy and substantial ,citizen, could have brought themselves to lead the mob. Deplored by the President. Governor Nicholle received a telegram from Secretary of State Blaine in which he said that the president deeply deplored the massacre of the Italians, and demanded that Governor Nicholls take steps to stop furthei bloodshed and to have the instigat- ors of yesterday’ 3 affair promptly and se- veiely punished. The messzwc has created universal indignation wherever it is known. Governor Nicholls said that the Italian consul had called at his office Saturday morning, and that he had asked interfer- ence and protection for Italian subjects In the parish prison who were threatened with mob violence. The matter had not been called officially to the governor’s at tention, and the call for the military would have to come through the mayor of the city. N 0 such demand has been made. \Vhen the consul called on the governor the crowd had already~sturted toward the prison. Mayor Si‘iakcspcurc says that his aid had not been invoked, and when he reached his office it was all over. He had not asked any aid of the governor. I'l'A Ll' ’5 Bl l SISTER PBOTESTS.

NOT THE MAFIA’S WORK. Ex-Police Lieutenant l‘Ioore’s Theory of Chief Hennessy’ s Assassination. DENVER, March 17. _—J. S. Moore, ex- lieutenant of the New Orleans police. gives a statement of the causes leading to the killing of Chief of Police Hennessy which throws an entire new light on the matter. He says that while the Mafia may have had something to do with the mur: der, he has strong reason to believe that they were nothing more than hired as- sassins. , He ascribes the trouble to an old feud between the detectives of the city, which had its foundation in the times of the famous whisky ring and sugar ring ex- citement twenty years ago, when several men lost their lives. The same bitter fight, he says, was the cause of the killing of the elder Hen nessy by Guerin in 1872. Guerin, according to Moore, was not supposed to be a member of the Mafia, and such a charge was not made against him until re- cently. He does not believe that Macheca had anything to do with the killing of Hen- nessy, as he was 11 man of too great wealth to risk interference with such affairs, al- though something of a politician. The murder of Chief Hennessy, he has no doubt, was due. to the old detective feud, which for years was a main issue in local politics.

It is easy to under l‘: - stand the feelings of the mob, but now that the passions of the volunteer execu tioners have had time to cool they can hardly think of their work with satisfac- tIOn. “Every man accused of the crimehas the right to legal trial, but this right is re- duced to mockery if we say that the trial must have only one outcome, and that the verdict of acquittal can mean nothing more than a substitution of the lyncher for the sheriff.” _ The Chronicle says: “Lynch-law is al- ways to be deplored, and especially in an old settled community like New Orleans, but if the vigilant vengeance is ever de- fensible it certainly was in the case of the people of the Crescent City who Saturday meted out swift punishment to the gang of Sicilians who were charged with the murder of Chief of Police Hennessy.” ' The Cullsays: “It may be that in New Orleans, as in other cities, the administra- tion of justice sometimes breaks down, and that those Sicilians ought to have been found guilty. Juries have been fixed in other cities besides New Orleans—this par- ticular jury may have been fixed—but the fact will have to be very clearly established by indisputable evidence before the ‘lead ing citinens’ will be justified in the taking of the law into their own hands.

NEW YORK, March 17.—Geue1-a1 Riva, the Italian consul in this city, declined to be interviewed concerning the trouble at New OIlcnns He, however, announced through the 1 ice cons ul that, as the repre- sentat-ivc of the Italian government, be greatly regretted the unfortunate occur- rence in the south. He was unable to state what action his government would take, nor was he in: formed as to any possible action which might be taken by the Italian colonists of New York. Cases of this kind have been very few, and the consul genernl was un- able to recall what had been done under similar circumstances in the past. Tammany hall.

ROME, March 17. ——The newspapers throughout Italy comment in the strong- est language on the massacre of the Ital- ians in America. Various suggestions are made for obtaining satisfaction, nearly all uniting, however, in the assertion that un- less satisfaction is given the Italiau gov- ernment should have nothing to do with the Chicago exhibition, and should with- draw the promise of support already given. Itis insisted that the Italian government shall spare no effort to have the murderers brought to justice, whoever they may be, and one paper significantly adds that this is necessary in order to make Italy a safe country for Americans to visit. .Popular feeling on the subject is even stronger than talked of in the streets. ous for an American to be r Italy where their nationality is not known.

The Engineer \Vas Cool and Ncrvy. JERSEY CITY, March 17.——A fire occurred in the Jersey Central gashouse, at the foot of \Vashingtou street, early Monday morning, at which three men were severe— ly hurt. John Gibbons, the engineer, was blowing out a retort when the explosion set fire to the gashouse and threatened a terrible disaster. Gibbons, realizing the danger, succeeded in turning OR the burn- ing gas. He was dangerously burned on the head, face and hands. Fireman George Ross, of Elizabeth, who went to Gibbons’ assistance, was burned on the hands. The firemen promptly extinguished the flames. In the crowd which gatheredwas Frank Woodstock, of 456 Grand street, who fell over the chain fence which guards the gas- house. He struck his head on’ a stone pavement, and was sent in an unconscious condition to the City hospital. Boss Plumbers Betaliate. ST.
