NEW ORLEANS, March 2.-The Italian
Politz, who created a.sensation in the Hen
messy trial Saturday night by declaring
that he desired to make statement, was
understood to have made a partial con-

of police were tools, the real leaders not
appearing on the scene. He did not give
the names of the leaders, but is said to
have implicated some of tho accused and
some Italians not yet arrested. James
Poole, colored, testified this afternoon that
he saw Marchezi and. Scaffodi, two of the
prisoners, firing at Chief Hennessy. He
did not know the men by names, but picked
them out in the court room. This evidence

ROME, March 2.--The pope to-day re-

OF the eightieth anniversary of his birthday.

than barbarians; go now the malice Of the
church's enemies was subtle, but their
snares would not prevail.
