New ORLEANS, March 15.-The city
Wore It's usual Sunday aspect and there
was no sign Of any unusual excitement.
Crowds OF ladies and gentlemen con-
tinued 10 visit the scene of the lynching,
although few were admitted inside the
prison. Steps Will be taken to repair
the damage caused, and where stood
the door which was battered in will be
built solid wall. The prison officials
are somewhat incensed over the cen
sure for their failure to make a more
formidable defense. They say that
they did not give up the keys, and that
when the crowd broke i'll all the
officers were found at their posts.
Had they fired at the crowd it
would have caused the storming and
perhaps destruction OF the prison and
the sacrifice of many innocent lives
within ana outside the jail. Some of

one in deputy sherltf'S hands, COM
manded him ~ 20 along with them and
break open the doors. He refused, say
ing he was sheriff. There was no ac-
counting for the mood the overpowering
avengers would take yesterday. so the
deputy SheritfS within the prison cannot
be blamed for lack OF defensive action.
They did as sensible men would do. and
did not succumb until the inevitable
was forced upon them. At all times
they refused to give up the keys until

make provision for q defense of the

the appointed time for the meeting at
the Clay statue he was at the mayors
office in search Of assistance. Chief of
Police Caster dld not think that the
meeting was called for any other
purpose than to voice denunciatOry
opinions of the jury that rendered
the Infamous verdict. Many of the at
tendantS at the mass meeting did not
think that action was going to be so
sure or so prompt. Every deputy or em-
ploye that the sheriff could muster to-
gether was within the prison ana in
structed to resist if any attack was
made. The deputies say that none but
those within the prison could form any
idea of the crowd that was gathered
without, and the number of weapons
that were visible III that mighty throng.
There was that determined look upon
their faces that meant business. and the
only surprise is that they did not do
harsher things. Father O'Leary, of
the JesuitS, this morning per-
formed the last sacred rites of
the church over the body of the elder
Marchesi, who was shot yesterday. and
said mass for the repose of the souls of
the SLAIN. 1t was an impressive specta-
Gle. The Sicilian survivors gathered in
one OF The most comfortable rooms of
the parish prison and were given more
liberties than usual. They were sim
cerely thankful for their
Escape From Death.
Young Marchesi was seen this morn
ing, and, although scared al the ap-
proach of any one, felt quite safe. Dur
ing the shooting yesterday Charles Pa
terno. who was on the top floor of The
wOman's department, was seen this
morning. He evidences signs of
mental disquiet still, and the
officers of the prison say that
he has been thai way off and on
since his incarceration. PIetZ0 was
summoned by Coroner Lemonnier ON
the outside of his cell this morning to
give the ages and occupations of the
bodies that were unclaimed. Baruzo

Judge Baker had declared him inno-

trial had been a mistake, and, instead
of the use of much money, each man

public sentiment demanded that some
be punished. AS for himself. he was
perfectly innocent of any connection
with the case, and desired that attention
be called TO the fact that the court had
ordered his acQuittal as innocent. All
of the victims were buried to-day.
Marchesi, MOnasteriu and Trdhina were
