WAS KNOWN IN PATERSON.
rEAD MURDERER SAID TO HAVE IN
SPIRED THE ASSASSIN.

Paterson. n. J., July 80 (SpeciaD-A more
excited lot of people has seldom been seen than
were the ten thousand italians of this city when
it was reported to-day that the assassin of King
Iumbert had come from here. The majority Of
them heard the story after they had finished
their days labor in the factories and other places
and they gathered in the streets of the Italian
quarters to discuss it. The majority of them did
not appear at all surprised that the assassin
had come from Paterson, they all knew that
there were plenty of Anarchists in the town, and
that Anarchist meetings were of common occur
renee. Opinion was divided however as to
whether Angelo Bressi. the Kings assassin, had
really lived in Paterson. Many of the Italians
declared without hesitation that they believed he
rad and that they had known him quite we'll
The fact that seemed to impress them most
- ngly that Bresci had lived and worked
among them was the development which had
followed the murder of Giuseppe Pessina, the
color master at the Weidmann dye works bv
Cariboni Sperandio ten days ago. The murderer
committed suicide Immediately, and strange
letter found on his body to which little sig
nifcance was attached at the time. In this letter
Sperandio told of plot to assassinate the King
of Italy and said that he had been selected to
commit the deed.
SAYS HE CHOSE SUBSTITUTE.
He then went on to say that as he lived in
stitute to do the deed. The following is a copy
of the letter:
My Dear Friends and Companions: l give you
to-day notice of the horrible fate that has
10 me-not OF my own will, but compelled TO
by the grand and brave society to which l belong
That is to say, the Anarchists.
In few words l will tell TO you to the best Of
ruary 2 at drawing in Milan, 5 to whose lot it
would be kill the King (of italy,. that lot fell
me, but L being in America the society has left
II to my full liberty to choose substitute
whOmsOever l wish
So l seeing this brute animal (Guiseppe Pessina)
who did respect anybody, who illtreats his own
countrymen and his friends and more than any
thing he did not respect neither sons or nephews.
I contented to choose this one!
After 1 did this found myself in front of wit
nesSeS. I have killed also myself rather than have
my head cut off by these cannibaI Americans
NeSi There will be many that will speak about
Bebbino Pessina, but also in my praise they will
speak, and they will also say that have done well
and have done my part TO free my country. Nive
lAnarchel
Many will say. it is true, that I, being in Amer
ica, could not do anything, but I do not do as
name but not TO show with deeds; I shall show
the proof.
Companions and brothers, when you are in a So
ciety do your duty or resign, absolutely, because
the societies sacred. 1t is say you must
obey and follow orders matter the or what
may happen.
Moreover now caution you that near at hand
is the death of two spies that known as Colo
rtsta Romano and the famous Barca Grinuin
These two persons are not worthy in the
world because they ruin many families and also
entire countries. 1t is for this that nv
ciety wherever ii may be, whether in Italy or here
in America wants 10 destroy all such despicabIe
people.
With this I finish my letter It extends to YOU
my last adieu 1t Is I who shake the hands Of all
without distinction. and 1 call myself your pitia-
CARBONI SPERANDIo.
