TIzE zE OUTCOME.
Indignant Citizens Break Into
the Parish Prison and Kill
the Slayers OfD. g.
HenneSsey.
ELEVEN OF THE ACCUSED MEET
THEIR DOOM.

The following synopsis Of the ac-
count of the killing of the eleven Da
goes for the murder of Chief Hennes-
sey is taken from the city Item:
The vicinity of Clay Statue presen-
ted an animated spectacle this morn
ing long before the hour appointed
ior holding the Indignation meeting.
The four corners of Canal street, at
both ST. Charles and Royal streets,
on the neutral ground, and around the
base of the monument, were congre-
gated groups of representative citizens
holding conference together and max
ing their surmises as to what action
would be taken.
The verdict of the jurors was unan-
imously denounced as a "travesty on
Justice" the "most outrageous disre
gard of public sentiment" etc.
The tough element was present in
great Numbers, eager and anxious for
the fray. The fair name of New Or
leans, by the verdict of those twelve
men, who were supposed to represent
her in dealing ont Justice to the as
sassins of her Chief of Police, has
been indescribally and irretrivably
lost in the opinion of the majority of
this vast assemblage. In a crowd of
this magnitude and frame of mind it
requires very little to create the wild
est excitement.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Mr.. Par
kerson appeared at the base of the
monument. The crowd quickly
swarmed around him. He requested
them to fall in line. At their head he
merched around the monument three
times and ascending the pedestal, he
turned and made the following address:
| People of New Orleans. Once be-
fore | stood before yon for public du-
ty. | now appear before you again
actuated by no desile for fame or pro
minence. Affairs have reached such
crisis that when living in an organ
lied and civilized community, finding
their laws fruitless and ineffective, are
forced to protect themselves. When
courts fail the people must. What
protection, or assurance of protection
is there left MS, when the very head Of
our police department. our Chief Of
Police, is assassinated in eur very
midst by the Malta Society and bis
assassins again turned loose on the
community. Will every man here
follow me, aud see the murder Of D.
G. Hennessey vindicated9 Are there
men enough here to set aside the yer.
dict of that infamous jury, every one
of whom is perinrer and scoundrel
There is another viper in onr midst
and that is Dominick G. O'Malley
This community must get rid of the
man who has had the andacity to en-.
ter a libel suit against one of our daily
papers that boldly came ont and de.
nounced him to the public in his true
colors. l now, sight here, publicly,
openly and fearlessly denounce him as
a snborner and procurer of witnesses
and a briber Of juries. Men and citi
zens of New Orleans, follow me, l will
be your leader!"
Mr.. Parkerson was enthusiastically
cbeered throughout his entire speech
and at its close the cries aud cheering
of the multitude has deafening.
Mr.. W. B. Denegre followed, AM
his opening words were drowned by
the cries of the crowd: ave have
had enough of words, now for action
Quiet was restored and Mr.. Denegre
proceeded: To-day is the 14lh Of
March. One l4th of September you
assembled on this very spot for pur
pose similar to that which has con
voked you here this morning. Wher
our late lamented Chief of Police Da
vid G. Hennessey, had been so cru
ely stricken down by red handed as.
sassins an Indignation meeting wa:
held at Lafayette square.
at was there decided that we peace
fully and quietly await the action o.
the law. This we have done The
law has proven farce and mockery
1t now reverts to us to take upor
ourselves the right to protect ourselves
Are we tolerate organized assassna
lon2 Not one of those jurors told tht
truth. While, perhaps, not all of The
twelve accepted bribc, some of then
did? They were bribed, and bribec
by whom7 BY that sconndrel, d @
OMalley, than whom a more infa
nous monster never lived. The con
mittee of fifty have already notifiet
him to leave town without avail
More forcible action is now called for
eft every one here now follow us will
