Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 11.-Luigi
Luccheni, the anarchist who stabbed
and killed Empress Elizabeth of Aus
tria on Sept. 10 last, was yesterday
convicted and sentenced to rigorous
imprisonment for life. This means soli-
tary confinement in dungeon. When
the full penalty allowed by the Swiss
law was imposed upon him Luccheni

racy."
A curious feature Of the trial was
that whenever anything was said tend
Ing to show that the had attempted to
deny his guilt or to escape its conse-
quences he invariably interrupted,
openly glorying In the crime, which.
he said, was premeditated. adding in
one instance: II did my utmost to
make the stroke fatal" He declared
that his motive was found in human
suffering. my doctrine he frequently
reiterated, is that no one who does
not work should be allowed to live"
Luccheni admitted that he came to
Geneva In order to kill the Duke Of
Orleans, but, he added. he arrived too
late. The prisoner then remarked that
In spite of this the Duke of Orleans
would be killed within a year.
The prisoner also said that If he
had possessed 30 francs on the morn
ing of the assassination instead of kill
ing the empress Of Austria he would
have started for Italy with the inten-
ton Of killing King Humbert. He add
ed: ut does not matter, however, as
another will kill Humbert shortly"

One white man was buried, three others
lie at the point Of death and seven have
been wounded. Four heads Of fam
lilies have left the country and armed
troops Of cavalrymen are securing the
country hunting other victims. All Of
this is the outcome of an election row.

ton Mckinney. Jesse Williams, Dray-
ton Watts, Lum Jackson. all colored.
killed Wednesday,; Essex Harrison and
Ben Collins, colored, killed yesterday.
The trouble was precipitated on elec-
ton day, when two or three hundred
negroes at the polls opened a fusil-
lade against the store in which the
voting was going on. In this fight
Etheridge was killed and Tolbert in
jured. The second occasion for provo
cation was that party hunting the
slayers Of Etheridge was fired into.
The incident of the day vas the kill
ing of Essex Harrison. DoHn the road
came squad Of mounted cavalrymen.
with Harrison marching ahead with
guns and rifles drawn on him. Fiji
teen men lined up on the roadside. The
negro was put out In the road and told
to go toward the pile of four dead
negroes. As he started there was a
ring Of rifles, and Harrison pitched
forward dead. Harrison. 1t Is alleged,
was member of the crowd that killed
Etheridge.
The whites are particularly incensed
against all the Tolberts and hold them
responsible for the trouble. A party
went to kill Tom Tolbert, but some one
prevailed on the hotheads not to kill
a wounded and dying man. John r.
collector Of the port at Charles
ton. and Joe Tolbert left the county
and went to Charleston. Reed Toll
bert has gone to Greenvills. Ezra Toll
bert is quartered with friends. His
son was shot, and this, with the plea
that he Is a non-partisan, has nine
children and a. wife, alone has saved |
him from death. A committee waited
on J. w. Tolbert, assistant postmaster
at McCormick's, and asked him to get |
out Of that town. He left.
