Nearly two years ago fight occurred
on Hill St, Cleveland, among some Ital
ians. and NJ. RIM was killed by Antonio
Moffesi. The murderer fled the city, but
his case was before the grand jury, and
an indictment for murder returned.
Six months afterward some Italians land
ell in Cleveland from their native coun-
try, and reported that Moffesi had been
seen there. Correspondence between
the Prosecuting Attorney and residents
of Italy ensued, which finally came to
the ears OF the Italian Government.
They Immediately arrested Moffesi and
wrote to Prosecutor Hadden inquirng
IL there was any truth in the reports
that Moffesi had fled from America to
escape arrest for crime. Hadden mailed
copy of the indictment to the Govern.
ment, expecting in course of time to
have the prisoner returned to.this coun-
try for trial. No answer was received,
and he concluded that the effort was
fruitless. A short time ago the Italian
Government sent notice to the effect
that Moffesi had been committed to the
galleys for life on the strength of the
indictment found against him by the
Cuyahoga grand jury, and he is now
toilng as galley slave, worse punish
ment almost than death itself.
