him a magnificent funeral by the police.
"Carboni Sperandio, an ex-soldier, a
musician and a worker in Weidman's sill;
mill ut Paterson, was the man. He shot
Giuseppe pessina, the foreman who dis
charged him, and then shot himself. A
tetter was found in a pocketbook. to.
eether with his discharge from the army.
Italians from all over Paterson focked
to WeindePs morgue and read the epistla.
but none Of them would translate it for
a long time. In answer to inquiries tbey
declared that Sperandio was crazy. had
the evil eye was possessed, and the
like. 1t was finally translated and read
as follows:
"AIy Dear Friends and Companions-I
give you today notice Of the horrible fate
that has come to me-not of my own free
will, but compelled to act by the grand
md brave society to which | belong-that
to say, the anarchists. In a few words
will tell you, to the best Of my ability,
ny story:
In the first place, on Feb. .. at a draw
ng in Milan as to whose lot it would he
y XIII the king. that lot fell to me. but /,
ocing in America, the society has left it
my iull liberty to choose as a subject
Thomsoevcr l wish. So I, seeing si,m
orute, Giuseppe PesSina, who did not re
;pect anybody. who i'll treats his own
.ountrymen and his friends and, more
han anything. he did not respect either
sons or ncphews, / contcnted myself TO
,hoose this one.
After J did this / found myself in
front Of witnesses. / have killed also
llyselt rather than have my head cut
1H by those cnnnibal Americans. Yes;
here VIII be many that will speak about
iiabbino Pessina, but also in my praise
VIII they speak, and they will also say |
nave done well and have done nv part TO
free my country.
"Niye fanarchie Many will say, it is
true |, being in America, could not do
anything, but | do not do as many thar
enter the society-smpy to have the
name. but not to show with deeds. /
shall show the proof.
Companions and brothers. when Won
are in the society do your duty or resign
absolutely, because the societies are sa,
rrod. 1t is to say you must obey and fol
low orders, no matter what the cost for
what may happen.
Moreover, now l caution you that
near at hand is the death of two spies
that are known as Colorista Romano
and the famous Barca Grinuin. These
.wo persons are not worthy to be in the
world because they ruin many families
md also entire countries. 1t is for this
'enson that the society, wherever it's
members be, whether in Italy or here
n America, wants to destroy all such des-
)icable people. With this l finish my
etter. In it | extend to you my last
ldieu. 1t is | who shake the hands of |
I'll without distinction, and l shall call |
myself your pitable friend and com |
'anion. CARBoNI SpERANDIo."
The story was never investigated, so |
ar as known by either representatives of |
he Italian government in this city or |
he police. The Paterson police set the
nan down as crazy and said they had |
Iothing to do VITA it anyhow. The
tory was secuted also by the Italians.
Sperandio was a good looking polished |
IAN, about 20 years old. He appeared in
'aterson about three years ago and gave
lusic lessons. He was an accomplished
ianist. At night he played r. Italian
onccrt saloons. In the summer he work.
