NEW ORLEANS GRAND JURY.
NEW ORLEANS, April 3.-Judge
Nara, the presiding magistrateIove'
the section of the criminal district
in which the grand jury is now
serving, yesterday expressed a pri-
vate opinion that nothing would
ever be done to the lynchers who
caused the killing of the Italians. Ii
ls impossible to criminally prosecute
5000 persons he said, and referred to
The famous passage in Burke's ora
ion, that there Is no law under
which q whole community can bt
indicted. Even if the grand jury
were to indict the leaders, no jury
could ever be secured to try them
Such publicity has been given to the
affair that every one is conversant
with the facts of the case, and no
one is without a fixed opinion.
A close examination of the record
Of the eleven alleged assassins dis
closes that all but four of the eleven
slain were registered voters, either
by birth or naturalization. The
four others, whom Consul g. Corte
claimed as entitled to the protection
of the italian government, are
Trahina, Bagnetto, MonasteriO and
Comitez. The first named is found
to have been a voter in the parish OF
st. Charles. Bagnetto is proved to
have been q fugitive murderer from
Palermo and member of the expo
sito band of highwaymen. Marchesi
was a veteran of Garibaldi's army,
but fled from Palermo while charged
with numbering female, Trahina
was also robber in Italy. OfComi-
tez no one seems to know anything.
He and Monasterio were buried In
the potters' field. Consul Corte is
doing all he can to reach the facts
of the affair, though he has not
received that courtesy ut the hands
of Governor Nichols and Mayor
Shakespeare that his position war
rants. The grand jury is holding
daily sessions.
THREE INDICTMENTS FOUND.
New ORLEANS, April 3.-The
grand jury has found three indict'
ments on blank, two against Selig'
men and Borsen for bribery, and
three against O'Malley for conspir'
lag to bribe. Seligman is in Gin
cinnatl, Borsen is here, and O'Mal
ley's whereabouts is a mystery
though it is understood he is on The
Lake Christina shore, within lOC
miles of New Orleans, surrounded
by heavy guard, which he ha'
had since the killing of the ItaliaI
prisoners.
