ION July Of this year I finished nv
TnemoIrss and scarcely had I received the
first proofs from the publisher when news
reached ms OF the appalling tragedy in
italy, which had foretold. Tscherniao
def, the bloodhound, has truly kept his
word. He is Russian, and just as long
as there is a Siberia and knout in
Russia, anarchists and nihilists will come
frcm that country and viii excite the hot
hca6ed Italians to carry out their nefari-
Gus deeds. The leader Of these men is
TscheTniadieff, a man who takes pay
from all parties ana from all govern
mCn.s. His men are scattered over the
entire world. and they will keep on kill
i@s rulers until he. their chief, is deiiv-
cred up to Russia.
Il therefore publicly call upon his maj
esty Emperor Nicholas IL. of Russia, to
set price upon the head of this blood
hound, Alexander Tscherniadieff, who Is
now probably in America, and to demand

to be killed, and that it was he who had
directed Caserio to kill President Carnot

vision. [ saw him one day with a large
package of these leaflets and discovered
that his object was to have the young
Emperor of Russia murdered on his we'd

and even wrote to the emperor of Ger

plot was frustrated.
''Tscherniadieff also told me that it was
he who had urged Hodel and Nobling to
attack Emperor William 1. in 1S17, and
