Stefano Malats, editor of EAmericd,
was the next speaker. He announced
that he was Sicilian like the men who
were lynched in New Orleans. He began
with studied calmness. but gradually
worked himself and his audience to
high pitch of excitement. "Massacred,"
he exclaimed, "massacred. our country
men have been massacred; the outrage
has no comparison IN any civilized ma
ton" The speaker dsavowed sympathy
with the vendetta, but insisted on the
right, and asked why the New Orleans
authorities permitted Parkinson 10 as
semble thousands of citizens and ha-
rangue them 10 the point OF frenzy and
murder. The magistrate declared the ac-

exclaimed the speaker.

New Orleans is infamous. The reports
say that prominent men took part in the
murder. l say the fact that prominent
men took part in this massacre makes it
doubly infamous. We Italians fought 10
liberate this country. Years ago Carl
baldi, Kosciusko, all the patriots OF the
old world came here when the people held
out their arms and said come here and
receive the protection of constitutional
law.
Galmagia, a member OF the staff LIfdliG
and eX-oficer in the Italian army, said

Jail, there behind the bars, and
saw in them the indelible impress of
innocence; and yet their innocence was
no protection, for they fell before the
rifles of as fiendish mob of assassins as
ever disgraced civilization. God pity these
people; God pity America. In the name
OF all the martyrs who fought, in the
name of liberty, we ask reparation." DR..
Noini suggested n modification of a pro-
position formerly made to demand of the
Italian government immediate cogniZance
OF the outrage and proposed that CONF
mittee be appointed to cooperate with
committees from similar bodies 10 draft
suitable resolutions. The suggestion was
adopted and the committee appointed.
