,ipstairs and the first vi1olleyt 81 bullets
{ pierced his brain. He was pulled ont
BY number Of stalwartt men through
the main entrance to the prison and
from the limb of tres his body was
suspended, although life was already
gone.
Just as soon as the bloody work was
done Mr.. Parkerson addressed the
8crowed, and asked them to disperse.
This they consented to do with q
ringing shout, but first they made
y rush for Patterson, and, lift
ing him bodily, supported him on
their shoulders while they marched
up the street The avengers came
back in body to the Clay statue, and
then departed. Immense crowds
rushed from all directions to the neigh
B borhood Of the tragedy, while the
streets in front Of the newspapers Offices
were blocked with people anxious to
see the latest bulletin.
There was intense but suppressed ex-
citement, and from one end of the city
to the other the action OF the citizens
was applauded.
Coroner Lemoniere reached the nris.
on at 1890 o'clock and viewed teh
bodies of the ten men. They were
stretched out in the prison. The YER
dict was that the men had come to their
death at the hands of unknown
parties. Sheriff Villere was not
at the prison when the mob reached
there. He was hunting the mayor in
order to have the police ordered out.
Attorney General Rogers also hunted
up the mayor as did the italian consul
but they were una BILE to find him, and
the work was done before the mayor OF
the governor could interfere.
The leaders in the movement repre-
Esenting the best citizens held q secret
meeting Saturday night and discussed
the occurrence of the day and the ac-
ton to be taken in the future. Tt was
decided that there should be no more
abloodshed, but that the men who have
not yet been tried for the murder as
well as those who suborned the wit
nesses and the jury shall be vigorously
prosecuted before the courts Of the city.
The jurors III the Hennessy case are
also reaping a. bitter harvest. Walter
Livandais., clerk in the Southern Pa
cific railway, was discharged, as his
fellow clerks refused to work with him.
j. NJ. Seligman, the foreman, was part
ner with his brother in the iewelry
business. The brother has dissolved
the partnership. The clubs and ex-
changes of which he was q member ex-
PEELED him and he sought to leave
town Saturday afternoon. A mob cap
tured him on the road to the depot, but
he was rescued by the police and has
been concealed by his friends.
Governor Nichols said that the Ital-
ian consul had called on him at his
Office Saturday morning, and that he
had asked interference and protection
for Italian subjects in the parish prison
who were threatened with mob VIC
lence. The matter had not been calico
officially to the governors atten
ton, and the call for the military
would have to come through the mayor
Of the city. No such demand had beer
made. When the consul called on The
governor the crowd had already started
toward the prison. Mayor Shakespeare
says that his aid had not been invoked
and when it reached the office it was al
over. He had not asked any aid Of the
governor.
The prison officials are somewhat in
censed over the censure at their failure
to make a more formidable defense
They say that they did not give up the
keys, and that when the crowd broke
in all the officers were found a
their posts. Had they fired al
the crowd it would have caused: the
storming and perhaps destruction O
the prison and the sacrifice Of
many innocent lives within and out
side the Jail At oil times they refused
to give up the keys until driven into q
corner when they were compelled to
Even then they did not designate tn,
location Of any Of the prisoners. Til,
prisoners in the yard gave this informa
ton.
THE story Of the murder is one OF the mos
sensational chapters 81 crime ever recorded Ii
this country. Chief OF Police David c. Her

listed among q band Of Italians or Sicilian Grim
