A dispatch from New Orleans of Sat
urday, saws: New Orleans struck the
Malta death blow to-day. 1t rose in
might almost at midday and wreaked a
vengeance upon the Sicilian assassins
who relentless slew David c. Hennessey,
and though there are II men dead to-
night who We're happy yesterday over
their victOryin the greatest criminal trial
the city has ever witnessed, the work of
blood was accomplished without unnec-
essary disorder, without Tioting, without
pillaging, and without the intiiction of
suffering upon any innocent man, save
one, and he was only slightly hurt. 1t
was not an unruly midnight mob. 1t
was simply q sullen, determined dy of
citizens who took it into their own
hands what Justice had ANONYMOUSLY
failed to do. The chief of police was
slain on October 18th, and that very
night the evidence began to accumulate,
showing that his death had been delib-
erately planned by secret tribunal and
carried out boldly and successfully by
the cOnspirators. The trial lasted twenty
five days and though the evidence seemed
conclusive the jury, currently charged
with having been tempered with, failed
to convict. Last night body of cool
headed men. lawyers, doctors, merchants
and political leaders-all persons of in
fluence and social standing, quietly met
and decided that some action must be
taken and the peoples justice swift and
sure visited upon those whom the jury
had neglected to punish. This morning
call for mass meeting at Clay Square
on Canal street appeared in the papers,
which editOrially deprecated violence.
The significant closing sentence of the
call was: Come prepared for action.
Down in a large room on Bienville and
Royal there was an arsenal which had
been provided by the body of citizens.
The call was answered by the pOpulace.
At 10 o'clock there was a crowd of sew
eral thousand anxious people congregated
around the statue. There were few
addresses, short. pithy and business-like,
and the aSsemblage, not unwillingly, was
soon keyed up to a high pitch and be
came demOnstraUive in its denunciation
of the aSsassins Each speaker said
there had been great mass meeting
months before which had met quietly
and dispersed peacefully, so that the
law might take its course. The law had
failed. The time to act had come. W.
S. Parkers on, the leader of the thrOng.
is prominent lawyer here, the president
of the Southern Athletic Club, and the
man who led the vigorous city reform
movement three years ago. The other
speakers were Walter G. Denegar, one
OF the leaders of the New Orleans bar;
John c. Wickliife and James d. Houston,
one of the foremost men of the State.
After denouncing Detective O'Malley,
who is supposed to have tempered with
the jury, the speakers announced that
they would lead the way to the parish
prison. BY this time the crowd had
swelled to 5000 or more, and was tramp
ing down to the prison, stopping only
once, at the arsenal. where double
barreled shot guns, Winchesters and PTS
tolls were handed cut to responsible and
respectable citizens in the party"

izatiOn, of crimes committed by its
members, and proof of their identity, in
order to bring them to punishment.
The ordinary victims of the Malta
number thousands, the murdered VIC
Tins scores. The organi sation is a
menace to the peace of great commun-
ity--and even a State-and it demon
strated its terrific power when it
assassinated the brave man intrusted by
the citizens of New Orleans with the
protection of their lives and property.
From enc end of this country to the
other there should be a unanimous de-
mand that the Malta be broken up. 1t is
the primary cause of New Orleans deep
disgrace. 1t has less excuse for exist
ence than her excited citizens had for
lynching its members. 1t is I'M Ameri-
can, bloodthirsty and vicious, and the
failure of Italians to denounce its exist
ence and methods is as deplorable as the
action of the New Orleans mob. The
lynchers should not be allowed to escape
punishment, but the Malta must be
broken up.-N. Y. Press.
