ITALY HAS NO LEGAL CASE.
WASHINGTON. May THE report of
the New Orleans grand jury upon the
killing of the Italians was a fruitful
theme for discussion among people at
the department of state. It is
said that the findings of the grand jury
excited no surprise, for some such con-
clusion of the case was expected.
The attempt to palliate the infraction
of the law by offsetting the alleged at
tempts at jury fixing is deprecated by
the legal minds of the department, but
there is we'll defined opinion that on
the whole the outcome will be beneficial
in its effect upon the turbulent foreign
in the United States, mas
much as it will make clear to them the
fact that they cannot rely upon treaties
to escape responsibility to the great
public for their unlawful acts.
