They say Sicilian Drum-Major, during
the French occupation of Palermo. was
sentenced to be shot. He was a we'll
known coward, and it was feared he
would disgrace his country at the last
moment in the presence of the French
soldiers, who had way of being shot
with good grace and light heart; they
had grown accustomed to 1t.
For the honor OF Sicily his confessor
told him, in the strictest confidence, that
his sentence was a mock one, and that he
would be fired at with bank cart
ridges.
1t was pious fraud All but two Of
the twelve cartridges had bullets, and he
fell riddled through aud through. No
Frenchman ever died with a lighter
heart, better grace. He was superb and
the national honor was saved.
Thrice happy Sicilian drum-major, If
the story be truel That trust in blank
cartridges was his paradise.

At the last session the jury refused to
accept the evidence turned in as complete
testimony, and demanded statements
from two men who had not been sub
pBnaed.
The men that the jury wanted to hear
were Aarons, the driver of the car, and
the man who rode on the front platform
with Aarons, who Is supposed to live in
Lafayette. 1t was at Coroner Parslow's
suggestion that the inquest was post
