A BLOODY RIOT IS FEARED

NEw ORLEANS, La, October 2i.--The police and Citizens Ccmmittee arc OK. tremely reticent as to the steps they arc taking in tho Hennessy murder case and would say little or nothing to-day. A telc- gram has been sent to Wm. A. Pinker- ton, the dead Chiefs intimate friend, ask ing his cooperation in the case. A reply was received this morning. It states that Mir. Pinkerton will come here at once to take part personally in tho work Hen nesy's relations with the piukertons wore of the most cordial nature. He had access to their records and files of information, and had a standing offer of 5000 n year from them for his services Thirty two Italian suspects arrested yesterday proved to day that they had uo possible connec. ton with tho case, and were discharged. The existence of secret association of white Americans. bound by oath to work in secret and to wreak vengeance upon the Dagocs, has been discovered. Only enough 'S hbeNh ot tuciA Riduc u WaaEAHt tbc WI lief that tho slightest offensive movement on the part of the Dagoes will be followed by riot, even moro terrible than that of ls56 when party of Dagoes who had at tempted to butcher a prominent politician were set upon by mob and fifty or more slaughtered.
 The new trial of the Provenzauos, which is generally regarded as the cause Of the Chiefs murler opens on Wednesday. It was the intention of the attorneys for tho Provenzanos to place Supt. Hcnnessy on the stand. His intimate acquaintance and his knowledge of the criminal career and records of member of the 'Dago colony" in the city would have been brought out in his testimony. There would have been a complete expose, as he had procured docu- ments from the criminal department ot Italy through tho Secretary of the United States, and from other sources. It was no doubt to prevent this showing up of the Mafia and the individual records of several of these Sicilians that tho murder was planned and carried out with such terrible effect

 The police have arrested Manuel Petro, whom they charge not only with being of the men engaged in the Henncssy assassina tion, but actually the man who fired tho fatal shot. They claim that they have tho case in excellent condition that tho mur. derers havc been arrested, and that thero is sufficient evidence to convict them. Ac cording to their view of the matter tho murder was ordered by the Matrangas, who are the heads of tho Sieilian gang
 Pctro, one of tho suspects, was identified to day by colored woman who saw him last Monday receive two guns from two other Sicilans. Joe Macheca has been still further identified as constant visitor to the eobbler shop which he rented aud placed Mastero in ostensibly to follow his occupation, bnt in reality 10 watch tho movements Of Hennessey. The conclusion generally arrived at is the assassination was inspired by the Macheca Matranga gangs,
