Brooklyn, June 18th, 1888.
Well! well Since the above was written we have
got the truth of the matter Count Tasisro has call
ed on US, and told rs the whole affar-and very
fine fellow he is and we will fight the first who
says he is not and dog Sirius the second.
Wcrepeat it. The Count has behaved in the above
matter like true man of honor he really is. and
explained TO the whole affair from beginning to
end, which we endorse and give our own, and be-
come responsible for the same.
The facts are these. On Friday, Count Tasistro,
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Gabriel Carroll, the brother in
law of Mr.. Henry Lynch, were taking some oysters
together at Windust's. They came up the steps TO
the corner OF Leonard street. Mr. Miller little,
very little excited; he rather unceremonlousy &C
costed female in company with some person from
Brooklyn. High words ensued. Mr.. Carroll who
IS a powerful, brave and gentle man, interposed
as peace maker. Some twenty-five rowdles came
up and raised cry of Long Island forever" The
twenty five fell upon the Count and Carroll. Mr..
Miller thought that discretion the better part Of
valor and as Jackson said of the Kentucky militia,
he "inglo ousy fed" Carroll and the Count stood
their ground and were much beaten, but those two
made an honorable retreat from the twenty-five pali
ant drunken Long Islanders.
Next day Mr.. Carroll challenged Mr.. Miller for
running away, and received handsome apology and
a satisfactory explanation. So far SO good. The
Count behaved well it was not his quarrel-hc is
afraid of no one two men in fair fight, but he is
a gentlemaR born and bred-and such does not
wish to come amore into collision with well
dressed mob Of naffians.
He was severely struck with astick across the head
where he has received severe sabre wound, and
for few moments stunned, but did not lose his pre-
sencc Of mind. He has a very handsome hand and
arm flew men more SOY and on them he received his
principal bruises: She acted entirely the defensive
and entirely honorable II the Brooklyni,e" will
give his name he win receive all further particu
lars in detail.
