York Anarchists which resulted in the death
OF King Hurnbert The Reds have been MAX

public notice at this time, but one of them in
trying to defend Count Enrico Malatesta, let fall
the other name, and the secret was out Pietro
Gori, a lawyer of Lucca, Tuscany, is now be-
Ieved to be the man who is indirectly RESPONSE
bile for the plot. He is now in Italy. or was the
last time the Group OF Existence" heard from
him, and for that reason his name has been
carefully kept under cover. 1t was Gori VINO
sent Malatesta to this country to keep up the
work he had started and IT was Gori who
changed Bresci from loud talking but harm
less workingman with anarchical tendencies
into the silent, straight shooting murderer that
he is to-day.
The police promise developments Of sensa-
tional nature in the work of running down the
Anarchists and arrests may be made to-day or
tomorrow. They are looking for the man who
bought the tickets for the crowd Of regicides
which sailed on La Gascogne on May IL. for the
police seem TO be convinced that all or nearly
all OF the men designated TO carry out the plot
sailed under assumed names in the steerage
OF that steamer. They refuse TO give the name
Of the man who will furnish the sensational

q well known Italian of this city, who has
worked night and day the case since King
Humbert was murdered, that the whom
the police are after is Garassini. Anarchist

than a week,

ago 1t put the police upon an entirely new
track, and the utmost secrecy is being main
4ailed regarding it. The detectives will say
nothing regarding it, and the Italian Consul
General denies any knowledge of new clews.
He even denies that he has detectives at work.
GORI WAS FOR BLOOD.
The trail of anarchy which Pietro Gori left
behind him in his travels through the italian
settlements Of America was as much more i'm
portant than that left by Malatesta as West
ern cyclone is stronger than East River
breeze. He for blood, and had hesi-
fancy about saying He desired the life Of
every ruler in Europe, and would have killed
them had 1t been in his power. He did have
the power to move men, however. and to q
greater degree than had Malstesta- His
clever tongue and reckless manner Of using it
got him into trouble in Italy. He fed to escape
arrest, and found a haven Of refuge in South
America. with others Of his stamp.
He came 20 New-York In the spring of 1897
and had no trouble finding the headquarters of
the Anarchists at Paterson He went among
them, spoke IN their saloons wrote fiery edi-
toTisls for their paper La Question Soeiale,"
and finally made a tour OF the United States, or
gauizing Anarchist groups wherever he found
Italians. His picture was published in the
Paterson paper shortly after his arrival in con-
nection with a tragedy Of which he was the
author. 1t was called Primo Maggie ("The
First Of May'), ana the Anarchists went wild
over IT, Gori was a rhynester and his terrible
tragedy flowed in verse. Perhaps the poetic
smoothness added by contrast to the rough
terror Of the words, for, according TO all
counts, the piece full Of misery, blood,
der and execution. 1t told the simple story of
the sufferings Of a poor Italian labOrer under
the rule of an alleged tyraanical government.
1T painted strongly his struggle TO live and pay
his taxes. Gradually the tragedy worked out
the change Of mind which made him ready to
take the life of the monarch The bloody deed
over. the Anarchist, now hero in the eyes of
Gori, was shown in the torture rack. He would
tell nothing that would impiicate his COM
panions, and goes to his execution with smiling
face. All the way through Gori's tragedy is a
forecast Of the real life in which Bresci
played the assassin and King Hunbert the
victim. It even introduced the influence Of
women in nerving the assassin's hand and in
cheering him he was led away to die. The
tragedy part of it, at least. is said 10 have
been acted in Paterson, perhaps in this city
and in several other italian colonies Bresci
probably it played and even then perhaps,
began to think Of taking part in similar plot
in real life
GOri was in the United States about six
months. He was a great friend of Esteve and
Widmar. the Paterson editors. He knew Bresci
and Quint8von The Anarchists say that let
ters from relatives at home caused him to
change his views about Anarchy, and he left
them to return to his native land, where he is
now practising his profession Other Italians
who are well posted say that Gori found he
could do for Anarchy at home and that
he returned there under one Of King Humberts
liberal acts granting freedom to political refu-
gees. He is said to have sent Malatesta here 20
carry out his work
When In this country Gori was about twenty
eight years old. He was tall, slender and hand
scme. Many women were attracted to him He
wore his hair like Italy's King does now
and always neat about his dress He used
crimson cord in place of a necktie as do
Esteve and other Anarchist leaders He was
well known in the Italian quarter and many
who were not IN favor Of Anarchy went TO hear
him speak THE most fluent, most eloquent
Italian speaker / have ever heard" said q
prominent merchant yesterday when Gori's visit
was mentioned. He did more for Anarchy in
America than Malatesta ever thought Of doing"
LA BELLA TEREsA's" DoINGs.
The police are gradually finding the swath of
wickedness which La Bella Teresa" cut through
the West Side Italian district. II is wonderful
that she kept out OF the courts for men have
shot others on her account, at least one home
was wrecked, and several other crimes inoud-
ing vitriol throwing, laid at her door, now
that she is under arrest in Italy. 1t was dis
