NOBODY KNOWS THEM
The Men Who Killed the Italians
Will Never Be Known.
THERE WILL BE A FORMAL TRIAL,

but IL Is Not at All Likely That
ANY One Will BE Punished for the
New Orleans Lynching Capt.
Arthur Dunn Will Recover from
His Wound.
New ORLEANS. March 20.-The jury
snen are still nsking statements in de-
Tense OF themselves. but there are no
new developments concerning what
took place in the chambers OF the jury.
Each and all OF ths twelve men who
sat on the trial Of the Italians insist
that they were not bribed. Foreman
Seligman insists that he did not believe
q case had been made out, and that un-
der the same conditions, If the case
were tried over sgain, he could not con-
srientiously act otherwise than he did.
The sheriff has been ordered to de-
liver many subp@nas, and large mum.
her Of witnesses have been summoned
TO testify before the grand jury.
Regarding the occurrances that took
place before and after the Staying of
ahe Italians in the Jail yard, it is be-
aieved here that the leaders OF the citi-
zens whose names have figured promi-
nently, but who, us far as is known,
did not participate in the actual shoot
ing, will be indicted, while the men who
killed the Italians will not be reached.
Nobody Knows Them.
Indeed, it is difficult to ascertain who
they were. The formality of an indict-
ment and trial will be gone through
with, but there is not q person in the
city who apprehends upon the trial of
: the cases that there will be anything
but an unqualified verdict of acquittal,
go unanimous is the state and the citys
approval Of what was done.
O'Malley. the detective, is believed
to be in the city hiding, and it is now
said that he did not leave town at all,
believing that in few days the excite
ment would blow over, and that he
would be permitted to resume his bust
ness. The leaders here say, however,
that O'Malley will never again be cit
ixen Of the Crescent city.
Capt. Dunn Improving.
Capt. Arthur Dunn, who killed Frank
Waters and who himself was shot
through the body. is doing well, and
will recover from his wounds
The tragedy was not the direct result
of the Hennessy trial. Waters was
drunk when the affair took place. and
had been drinking all the evening aud
fonlly abusing the action of the citizens
of Saturday.
He was connected with weekly sheet
here, The Mascot, and is the fifth or
sixth man on the paper who has met a
violent death.

In either case youare likely to
need new carpets, and you will
be wise to make your selec-
tions early. Our large carpet
rooms present many advan-
tages to buyers not to be
found elsewhere-plenty of
light, plenty Of stock, plenty
of people to wait on you, and
the prices of carpets were
never lower. Of course your
object is to get suited, and it
is of the utmost Importance
to go to that store which can
serve you best. You need to
look around-compare prices,
qualities, patterns, assort-
ments, hear what they all
have to say, then make up
your mind and buy what you
want-but look around
first.
If you want a Parlor Car
pet you ought to look at the
new Administer Moquettes,
the most effective, durable

been the only house that show
a complete line Of these ele.
CANT goods. Therefore you
should see ours. We have
sold thousands of yards with
out a complaint, which is
proof positive of their
durability and popularity.
Do nor be misled by hear
ing Moquettes will not wear
because they sweep off. The
fuzz or loose wool will, more
or less, sweep off of any new
carpet, but more especially
from Moquette because Of its
thickness. We guarantee any
Moquetto carpet we sell;
price for the best, $3.50 per
yard.
