The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-07-31

Bresci's most intimate friend I'm West
Hoboken is Raffale Magnolia. fellow
countryman, living at No. rs Cortlandt
street. When Bresci left for Italy he ex-
changed photographs with Magnolia, and
Magnolia now has that photograph In his
possession. All manner OF inducements
would not cause him to give IL up. The
News gives a sketch made from that pho
tograph.
My dear SIR said he. 1T would be as
much as my life is worth To part with
that photograph. This part of West Ho-
boken is a perfect nest OF anarchists
Were II known that had given you any
information regarding Bresci I would
have knife in my back before / was
twenty-four hours older.
"iou are probably being watched now
In this house. All OF Brescfs acquaint-
ances know that have his picture, and II
i should part with II in any way they
would come down on me Immediately. I
perhaps knew Bresci better than anyone
else I'm town, as we were both from the
same town in Italy. Prato. and we are
the only two Italians In the city from
that particular town.
/ am not an anarchist, but Bresci's
ideas were decidedly socialistic. We have
frequently had arguments on that score
but l purposely rcfrained from carving
them too far for fear of causing il-feeling
between u.s."
BLOW TO ALLIANCE
New York, July 3l.-Mrs. Emily Craw-
ford. cabling from Paris TO the World
anent the assassination OF King Humbert
tells how she. on two occasions met the
king. and then says:
"Humbert's death is a mortal blow, APP
parently to the Triple-Alliance. lie was
the single main stay OF the Crispi- Bis
marck policy. Crisri climbed TO power
by adopting Humbert's ideas which were
rooted i'm n passionate desire TO recover
Savoy, the cradle of his race and the
uurying ground OF his ancestors.
HE was liberal from n sense OF honor,
but traditional in his feelings His mind
little differed from that of the ancestral
Humberts. the counts OF Savoy. IL was
the mind of a feudal Baron Narrow, di-
rect, earnest, and even touched with fa-
naticism. but honorable"
HAVE IMPORTANT FACTS.
New York. July Silt can he stated on
the best authority that the French police
are I'm possession OF important facts con-
cerning the antecedents and associates
of Bresci, the murderer of King Hum
bert, and that they are i'm communicate
with the Italian police on the subject,
says a cable TO the Times from Paris.
While Italian anarchist leaders VIVA
have found refuge In Paris declare pub
licly that there Is no plot behind the as
sassination. the information I'm the hands
OF the police shows exactly the reverse 10
be true.
One OF the chiefs of the politicM police
in an interview last night declared that
after the Milan troubles OF 1896 Italian
political refugees poured into France
and that many who suffered terms OF
hard labor then are now coming out OF
prison and finding their way abroad.
These groups OF political refugees who
would have grievances against Humber,
are veritablc hot beds OF intrigue against
the Italian monarchy.
