LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
August Fourgous Barely Escapes the
ScaffoId.
He is Adjudged Guilty of Murder In
the First Degree, but the Jury
Recommends Life Sentence.

There has been at no time any doubt in
the minds of those who heard the state
ment made by August Fourgous, on the
night of his arrest, that he was guilty of
the murder of his wife on the 18th of Jan
uary last, nor has any person who was in
the vicinity of where the tragedy occurred
that evening and familiar with the cir
cumstances, doubted the mans guilt.
When arrested Fourgous manifested
all the symptoms of a liquor-crazed man,
although he swore in his own behalf that
he had not been drinking on that day,
and that he was perfectly sober at the
time the trouble between himself and his
wife occurred. It was quite evident,
however, that he had not only been
drinking, but that he was quite under the
influence of liquor at the time, and that
but for this fact he would not have COM
mitted the deed.
Grove l.. Johnson, Fourgous' counsel,
made a strenuous effort in behalf of his
CLIENT, consuming the greater portion of
Saturday by his argument.
The case for the prosecution was also
ably presented by District Attorney
Ryan and Assistant District Attorney
jury by Judge Van Fleet at O'Clock that
evening.
a little after 10 o'clock the jury re-
turned to the courtroom and announced
that they had agreed upon a verdict.
The prisoner showed excellent COM
mand of his feelings during the reading
of the verdict and after it had been an.
nounced, considering the fact that it was
almost a foregone conclusion he would be
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and that he would either be hanged
or sentenced to imprisonment for life.
The verdict was as NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
in the first degree-but the jury recom-
mended that the prisoner be sentenced to
Imprisonment for life.
After the reading of the verdict judge
Van Fleet thanked the jurymen for their
patience during the long and tedious trial
of the case. and announced that he would
on Friday next pronounce the sentence of
the court.

Our readers are all familiar with the cir

murder of Chief Hennessy. A vendetta
had existed between tbs employees of two
rival stevedaring firms-the Provenzanos
and the Matrangos. In June gang of the
Provenzanos lay in wait for and fired upon
a party of Matrangos Then Chief Hen
messy announced his intention of putting a
stop to the CHASTITY business at once, and
went to work with vengeance, Six Ital-
ians were arrested and convicted, but were
granted a new trial, for which they are
still waiting. 1t may be mentioned Incl
dentally that during the trial one of the
principal witnesses was assassinated.
But Chief Hennessy was not satisfied
with these arrests and convictions. He
proposed to blot out the murderous Ital-
ian societies in New Orleans, and began
the collection of evidence in this country
and in Italy for that purpose. This made
him a common enemy of all the criminal
Italian classes of New Orleans, ana it has
been learned that a few nights before his

A story of blood such as the newspapers
of the United States have, perhaps, never

Superintendent or (as he was always
known Chief David c. Hennessy, Of
the New Orleans police force. To begin
with, assassinations have for many years
been frequent in the history of the Hen
messy family Dawes father was killed by
Tony Guerin; a friend of the murdered
man shot the murderer, and, in turn, was
himself murdered Then Dawes brother
was assassinated, and Dave played his part
in the bloody drama by killing the man
who killed his brother. 1t seems to be
generally agreed, however, that this re
markable series of crimes had nothing to
do with the murder of Dave, which is laid

a special message referring to the murder
and announcing the existence of the ter
rible secret order in New Orleans, saying
that it threatened the life of every person
who offended one of its members.
The whole city was startled by his next
statement, which was to the effect that he
had been marked as the next victim. He
had just received letter notifying him Of
the murderous intentions of the Italians.
