doubtless be the indictment of

Anyhow, the methods of the defense
were well known and thwarted at
many steps, although the skill of
O'Malley and his henchmen proved
eminently successful as far as the
jurors were concerned. The state is
now obtaining full knowledge as to
the latter as well, and the grand jury
will create an interesting record before

case. O'Malley has not yet been
brought back, although capias has

There have been no Malta threats

NEW ORLEANS, March 25.-The grand
jury will investigate the lynching of
the Italians at the parish prison. The
inquiry will begin Thursday under the
direction of Atty. Gen. Rogers. The
witnesses the attorney general will call
will be mostly local newspaper men.
The Judge, however, has other
witnesses whose identity he re-
fuses to make known. When
the question of taking up the SUBJ
ject was submitted to the grand jury
the ''ayes" were unanimous. The in
vestigation will not be long one be-
cause tho grand jury's term will expire
with the present month. Judge
Rogers has been in communication
with Signor Corte. the Italian consul,
and has several letters from that gen.
tlemaa. one of which shows that ten Of
the men who were killed went under
assumed names, and from this the
authorities infer that they were either
fugitives from Italian justice or ex-
convicts. Corte has requested that the
leaders of the uprising be brought to
justice.

LONDON, March 25.-The News Paris
correspondent says he learns on the
best authority that the Italian govern

the New Orleans prisoners, maintains
that as prisoners they were en-
titled TO be defended while in
prison IN the state, and declares
that although proclaimed innocent
they were not so defended, therefore
