suit sued and received damages
on account OF the virulent Ian
guage OF the petition in the suit
against themselves, claiming defa-
nation OF character-when the
plaintiffs had no i'll feeling at all,
nor thought OF seriously claim
ing any ruch thing
A strong point is made that Mr..
O'Malley stole scrap iron. If he
did, Foster stole the governor
seat twice That is much worse, a
far greater crime than stea ling a
little scrap iron.
But the Telegram. WHO'S its ed
itor? who vouches for him, besides
Brother Goodwin? We don'tknow
him. We do know that he is not
fair, because he makes allegations
about our people which are not
not true. He don't know our edi-
l
aware of, and THE PROGRESS will
now venture that Telegram is an
ultra Murphy J. Foster organ. 1t
has been one, and the ear marks
still pint that way now.
THE Progress don't know
whether Telegram statement is
true or not. 1t comes from the
| wrong source to be accepted ipso
IIacto-
| However here is the statement:
Between the time of the Hennes-
sey assassination and the trial of
his slayers, followed by the flight
OF Dominink O'Malley, after a
mob had lynched the asSassins
and looked for him, the proprietor
Of the Daily Item filed suit in the
civil district court for 1900
| damages for defamation of char
acter against Messrs H. j. Hearsey
and Geo w Dupre, proprietors
and editors OF the Daily States.
| Those gentlemen, through Walter
Denegre, their attorney and one of
! the leaders Of the movement to
4 lynch y MaIiey, hunted up o.
Mslley's record and embodied it
in their answer. In view of the
fact that later, and upon the very
eve Of the trial of the case, which
was to be defended with vigor,
O, Malley voluntarily discontinued
| the suit, it must be taken for
granted that Messrs. Hearsay
and Dupre's answer was absolute
- correct.
The answer said that O'Malley
served a term in jail at Cleveland,
Ohio, for having a stolen watch in
his possession, and also his arrest
on two occasions in Cleveland for
larceny, one of the charges con-
corning the stealing of scrap iron
from the shores of Lake Erie. The
answer recounted O'Malley's re-
cord in New Orleans and embodied

port of the grand jury in the Ford
case. denouncing his double deal
ing and recommending that he be
prohibited from coming about the
court. The answer likewise rela-
ted the details Of how O'Malley
secured employment as private de-
tectiye Tor the committee OF Safety
engaged in roofing out gam bling,
and how he blackmailed an inter-
est in a negro gambling house on
Franklin street from Willis Ner-
neuille, at the same time causing
| the Indictment Of Jake Naqueli1
| who kept a gam bling house next
to Nenenille and who refused to be
| black nailed
Since that suit O'Malley has
| served two terms in jail for carry
| ing concealed weapons and has
been engaged in swindling lotter-
les and blackma iling Sunday law
| vioIators. His record in the Crimi-
nal Court during Charlie Buffers
term as District attorney is too re-
cent and too we'll known to need
repetition. He secured the indict-
ment OF Maurice j. Hart and then
attem pied to blackmail him out OF
$50, 900 after his quasi partner,
| Lionel a dams. had taken Hart
money. All of these things are
history and record, and they viii
| be brought up in a very short time
in the courts and O'Malley viii
have to admit them ii he goes on
the stand during the trial Of E, S.
| Whitaker for shooting him.
Having disposed Of this part of
the Jail record Of ON alley, the as
sertion of The Progress to the effect
that O'Malley gave charity to the
drouth sufferers may be looked
into. AS a matter of fact, when
| the condition of the dlouth suffer-
ers first became known, the Daily
| Item, with other newspapers, APP
pealed for help. Flour and other
/ provisions were contrib uted by
| the gamblers of New Orleans and
sent to the Item Office. 1t is pre-
sumed that O'Malley transmitted
them though there may be justi-
| fable doubt on the subject.
After that O'Malley organized a
comedy company to give perfor-
mances for the benefit OF the
| drouth sufferers. The Item daily
contained the most glowing ac-
counts of the Overlooking houses
which greeted the appearance OF
the comedy company. According
to the Daily Item it was a grand
success. The Telegram Or no one
else has ever heard of any OF the
money thus obtained going to the
drouth sufferers. If the company
was the success the Item claimed.
then it made money and O'Malley
kept it. If the company was a fail
ure, then O'Malley lied.
About this though, there may be
doubt concerning the funds. With
reference to the case of the Widow
Nittur there can be no doubt.
Arthur Nittur, an engineer of the
Spanish Fort road, was killed by
the overturning of his engine,
leaving a widow and eight children

He thinks he has been ecially
endowed with power from on high to
