nm Infuriated Posse.
Hartford. Conn.,. April S.-A crazy Italian
barber fatally shot John d. Gelston, an
East Haddam farmer. yesterday morning.
and was almost Immediately killed by an
infuriated posse of thirty citizens. The Ital-
ian formerly kept a barber shop in the vii
lage but disappeared SOME two years ago
and was not seen again until yesterday
morning. when. armed with an old fashion
ed muzzle-loading shotgun, he confronted
Gelston as the latter was about 10 open
his barn. The Italian aimed his gun at
Gelston and ordered him to throw up his
hands After some talk the farmer was
permitted TO return to the house. before
he should be shot. He lost no time in
notifying Constable Bugbee. The latter
went in search of the Italian and found
him crouching behind a tree nsa ar the street.
The crazy man attempted TO shoot the
constable. but his gun missed fire. The
latter drew his revolver. but ii also missed
fire. The fugitive then ran to the woods
and secreted himself In the bushes. In he
meantime the whole town had been
aroused. The farmers armed themselves
with whatever came handy and the mothers
took their children and barricaded the
doors of their homes. Under the leadership
OF the constable the posse started in pur-
suit of the Italian when John B. Gelston,
father of the man whom the Italian first
met. came upon the fugitive just across
the road from the farmhouse. The insane
man turned on Gelston and shot him in the
head. nearly tearing the head from the
body. Almost instantly there was a volley
from the posse and the Italian fell dead. his
body riddled with bullets. The body of
Gelston was removed to his home and that
of the Italian was taken to a barn. There
was quantity of bullets in his pockets
and an ugly-iooking knife and three razors.

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
Industrial Commission Hears nm EN-
pert From Bost0n

Prescott F. Hall. of Boston. the Secreta-
ry of the immigration Restriction League
in response TO an invitation from the In
dusrrial Commission. testified before that
body this morning on the subject of immi-
grafton.
The organization of which Mr. Hall is
the secretary is national in its scope and
aims TO exclude from the United States un-
desirable immigrants from foreign coun-
tries. Ii was largely instrumental in
framing the education test bill introduced
in the Fiftyfourth Congress by Senator
Lodge and championed in the House by
Representative Call OF Massachusetts.
Mr.. Halls testimony was largely taken
up by the rehearsal of statistics compiled
from the reports from various sources
The evidence introduced by the witness
went to show that the percentage of crime
and insanity among Immigrants is eonsid-
erably larger than among the native born
population. He exhibited several charts
which he had prepared showing the number
Of immigrants who have come to his coun-
try during the different decades. the coun-
tries from which they came. and the per-
centage of illiteracy among them.
