HOW LAzzARETTT WAs KILLED.
THE ITALIAN FANATIC WHO PROCLAIMED
HIMSELF THE SECOND CHRIST.

London, Aug. .24-Lazzaretti, the fanat-
ic cf Grosseto, Italy, who proclaimed him.
self Prophet and King, was killed at the
head of 3 GOO followers, who frs, fred
ordered to disperee. The Rome correspop-
dent of the Times gives the following
account of the circumstances of his death !:
"The Lazzaretti affair has turned pub
lie attention for time completely away
from European politics. On the hills near
Grosseto, a little town off from the rail
way, between Leghorn and Civita Vecchia
a semi political and religious sect had
established itself under David the Saint
las Lazzsretti was called), who declared
himself to DO Christ come again. He had
chosen twelve apostles, and surrounded
himself with large mum Der of proselytes,
who required the surrender of all property
for common benefit, and the labor of all
alike for the society, the latter undertaking
to maintain them and their families and
educate their children Their creed is an
extended paraphrase of the Nicene Greed,
with some alterations in Protestant sense.
The other tenets are of q Socialistic char
acter. On the morning of the 18th inst.
the prophet, at the head Of between 2 600
and 3, 900 followers started for the village
Of Arcldosso. His purpose is not known,
but it is said that it was not peaceful. A
hundred believers, dressed in white tunics,
like ancient Jewish priests, led the column.
AT their head walked David the Saint,
attired 10 half.regal and half pontifcal
costume, with diadem on his head and an
Iron studded club in his hand. The
procession sang hymn with the refrain ::
"Long live God and the Christian republic!
Praise be to Christ come second time on
earth!" The mob was met half way by a
Delegate of police, accompanied by nine
carbineers who invited them to disperse.
Upon this David cried, 81 am the King"
and ordered his followers to disarm the
soldiers. Az he spoke discharge of fire
arms wts made upon the police, and a
shower of stones followed. Again the
disperse, which was followed by the
prophet aiming blow at him with the
club. Then the police, finding tbemsel yes
surrounded, opened fire. Among the first
to fall was the prophet, who was shot full
in the forehead. His followers, seeing
their leader down, gave way. Four OF the
police were badly wounded, The Minis
ter of the Interior has sent q commission
to make full inquiry into the affair.

with q considerable quantity of cream

TIE DONEGAL TRAGEDY.

The Rev. j. Doherty, PIP, Donegal, in
letter to the Dublin Freeman acknow-
lodging receipt of subscriptions, says:
"If the prisoners were the spillers of the
blood of the murdered men, 1 would not
trouble you with these thoughts. Nor will
now. though the subject suggests 1t, cay
word against the memory of Lord Lei
trim. But when innocent men are on their
trial for life or death, 1t becomes the
sacred daty of every member of society to
lend them the means of defence. It is one
of the noblest works of charity-the test
of the elect-'1 was in prison and you vis-
tied me-that lie, assisted me, helped to
set me free. But are they innocentf In
my heart and soul believe they are. And
that, too, is the firm belief and conviction
of their neigbboEs and ell who know any,
thing about them. But the Crown says ::
If these men be innocent why do not their
friends and countrymen assist our officials
Co make the guilty amenable to Justice Z
This is also the language of the English
and of the landlord press in Ireland and
was echoed by Baron Fitzgerald in his ad +.
dress, few days ago, to the grand jury of
this county. They say that the party
committed this murder in open day, and
cannot be unknown to those living in the
district, and that it is our sympathy with
agrarian crime that prevents the murder
ers from being arrested and brought to
j
it is an error baeed on false assump-
tiOn. Let ne see. 1t is admitted on all
hands that the murder was premeditated
and we'll planned; that, though committed
in open day, the spot selected was q lonely
waOd-Cratlagh Wooden the seashore,
where the party were screened from all
human observation. In reaching this place
they crossed an armlet of the sea-the
Muiroy-in q boat, and, after the murder,
repsssed this armlet in the came boat. The
men who had intelligence and mind enough
call it savage cunning If you will-tO
take these precautions knew that they
were forfeiting their lives by the commits
sion of this act aud that life or death
depended on it's secrecy. They must know,
for it is always the case, that large
reward would be offered for their appre-
hension. Now, with this dread and feel
ing on their minds, would they be mad
enough to let the peasantry of whole
district know all about them aud the mur-
der2 Would they leave themselves and
their lives at the mercy of any or every
garrulOus tongue in the neighborhood Z
The morning star and Catholic messenger., 1878-09-08

Woul0 they trust any person outside theH
own partyf 1t is admitted that there wal
no small amount of wariness and fore
thought In planning this murder; bui
would they not, beyond and above every
| other precautioD, take all possible precan
! tion to save their own livesf Would
they not try to make it impossible for any
one to identify thema Would they not
look over their right shoulder and their
left to see that they were not seen When
| ones life 10 ut stake tho sense of self
preservation puts rs, by an instinct OF
nature, on our guard. The pressmen who
write otherwise would do the same.
If they were tempted to commit murder l
power of o whole district to let It leak out
aud bring their necks to the gallows. No
person ever premeditated murder that did
not at the same time pIemeditate secrecy
and take every precaution against detec-
tion. This being so, is it not moDstrously
trict, and, still worse, all Donegal, with
completely with a crime Of which they
could not know anything until it was
committedf know the poor peasants Of
that district long and we'll They have
suffered many heartless and crnel wrongs
at Lord Leitrim's hand. But / have no
heaitation in saying that they would suRer
them still, or even suffer themselves to be
tortured as the early martyrs were, sooner
than imbrue their bands in his blood. 1t
is true some party did murder him. On
fortunately he sowed the whirlwind and
reaped the storm. Bat it is my solemn
conviction that the men Imprisoned in
Lifford had neither hand nor part In it
that they are not only in . technical sense,
but in fact, in reality, Innocent of the crime
laid to their charge. I mention this as it
must give immense satisfaction to the con-
tributors to this fund to know that their
efforts 60 to rescue innocent men from
shameful and ignominioHs death.
You are aware that this trial has been
postponed to the next assizee. This is a
matter of serious regret. We fear the
Crown may manage to have them tried at
q winter assize held out of this county, and
thus adroitly change the venue. If our
fears be realized, would :. be CT the part
of this Crown fair play and justice Be-
sides it would entail a much larger amount
of expenses in bringing witnesses from this
to some distant county. This long i'm
prisonment, moreover-even if they were
at length liberated-wili utterly ruin their
homes and reduce their families to extreme
want. Under these circumstances, what
do you think if, over and above defraying
their legal expenses, we open list that
men of feeling and charity may have an
opportunity to recoup their Losses and help
to support their families7
