ITALIAN ASSASSIN
WENT FROM AMERICA

Monza. July 3O-It appears that
when King Humbert was wounded he
exclaimed: 1T is nothing"
After the shooting of King Humbert.
;ls soon as his majesty's attendant
could realize what had happened, the
king was placed in his carriage AMI
driven as rapidly as possible to the pal
ace. He was. however, beyond human
aid.
The royal carriage covered the dis
tance between the gymnastic society
club house. where the crime was COM
mitted, and the royal villa at fun
speed, requiring but three minutes. The
King expired on the way, and. al
though placed on n bed, was dead
when the doctors arrived.
The terrible tragedy happened SO
quickly and unexpectedly that the
King was dead almost before the spec
tators realized what had occurred. No
special precautions had been taken.
Very few police We're in attendance,
and only small guard of soldiers was
keeping the way clear for the carriage.
The King, amid the cheers of the
crowd. came out smiling. accompanied
by his aide-de-camp. General Baglia.
lie had entered the carriage and was
just driving on. when the revolver
shots We're fired in quick succession.
Some witnesses assert that Bressi
was seen just previously waving his
hands and cheering.
The first shot wounded the King In
the neck: the second. the fatal one.
pierced his heart. and the third broke
the arm OF the already dying king.
The crowd was stunned by the unex-
pected scene. hut speedily rush was
made toward the assassin. He did not
attempt to escape and was roughly
treated until the carblnecrs formed u
Gordon and secured him from the fury
OF the people.
An eye witness says that Immediate
ly after the shot was fired the King
fell bnck. pressing his hand 10 his
heart. He was Instantly supported by
General Baglin. who told the coach
man TO drive with all speed to the cas-
lie. After his exclamation. 'It is
nothing" he lid not utter a sound.
Blood gushed from his mouth.
When Queen Margheriia arrived at
the villa II was stlll hoped that the
King would survive. and when the
truth was broken 10 her. heartrcnd-
Ing scene ensued. Bursting into tears.
she exclaimed:
ut Is the greatest crime OF the cen
tnry. Humbert was good and faithful,
No person could have loved his people
more. He was one who bore ill.will To
none"
The assassin's name is varIously Civ
en- ms Angelo and Gaeino Brcssi. lie
was born In Praio. November 10. 1863.
and is n weaver by trade. lie says
that he had no accompilccs and that

STRONG DEFENSE
OF MISSIONARIES

Chicago, July 29.-A stirring address
on China was delivered before the
Moody Bible Institution Congregation
this afternoon by Rev. Thomas Mar
shall, field secretary of the Presbyter-
ian Board of Foreign Missions, and n
Chinese missionary of wide experience
and more than national fame.
He charged that European nations, es-
pecially England, Germany and
France, are responsible for all the trou-
bic typified in the national uprising
against foreigners in China: that the
missionaries are not TO blame, aud that
the "robber nations" of Europe, when
caught in the act of despoiling the Chi
nese of their territory and desecrating
the Chinese graves by running rail
roads through them. are trying to
make scapegoats of the innocent mis-
sionaries, and are using the Christian
evangelizing forces for political and
selfish ends.
The speaker expressed qualification
Mt the fact that the government of the
United States had taken noble stand
for the integrity of China.
Rev. NJ. A. Cunningham, another
Presbyterian with ten years expert
ence in China. followed DIR. MARSHALL
lndorslng all the latter said, and de
scribing the Chinese people by no
means as bad rs painted.

NEW ORLEANS NEGRO
KILLS MORE OFFICERS

a shot In the left shoulder and J. w.
BOfel one In the right hand.
Ultimately 1t was decided that the on
ly way to get Charles out was to burn
the building In which he was entrench-
ed, and the fire department was called
out to protect surrounding property.
Some one went to II grocery, purchased
can of oil, and pouring 1t over the
rear steps of the building, applied II
match and soon started II fire. Picked
men from the police squad and soldiers
stationed themselves about the build
ing In order to pick off the desperate
as he attempted to leave. Adolph An
derson Of the state militia, was one of
the first to see Charles as he left the
steps. Charles ran across the yard,
and as he did so Anderson fired several
times. He shot the negro in the breast
and Charles fell and died soon after
ward.
AS soon as the negro fell numbers of
persons armed with Winchesters and
revolvers rushed in and fired into the
body.
Charles was literally shot to pieces.
After 1t was certain that he was dead
mob entered the yard and dragged
police and the mob emptied their revol-
vers into the corpse. while n son of
one of the murdered men rushed up
and stamped the face beyond recogni-
ton.
An attempt was made TO burn the
body, but the police rescued ii.
Shortly after the body Of Charles had

They were sent to Jail, and later n
fourth negro was discovered in the
building. He made n desperate re-
sistance and while in the hands of the
police was killed by shot fired by one
of the disorderly mob that had conger
gated.
About the time that Charles body
reached the morguc.an unknown negro
was shot and stabbed to death on Gal
latin street by n crowd of white men,
all intensely excited by the news of
the killing of Porteus and others. He
made n run for his life, succeeded in

New Orleans, July 2T.-Tremendous
excitement reigned in New Orleans to-
day while the battle went on between
the police and citizens and the negro
murderer, Robert Charles, with his
Winchester. After the tragedy was
over and Charles was dragged out from
the mud and slush in which he had
fallen, with the mob bowling for the
burning of his body, statements were
made that the man killed was not
really the desperate who had killed
Day and Lamb, but papers found on
his person, and the fact that he fought
SO desperately for his life and shot SO
accurately, leave little doubt that he
was the man.
Sergeant Gabe Porteus and Sergeant
Lally were informed during the day by
a negro that Charles was in hiding In
n house in Clio street. The officers sum-
mOned several patrolmen and went to
the house. They entered the side al
ley, and We're served like Day and
Lamb. The negro was hidden behind
n screen and began furious and accu-
rate fire.
Lally fell with bullet in the abdo-
men. Porteous was shot through the
anu utiu utlOSS tIt
body of Lally. The other officers and
the negro informant fed. The report
of Charles Winchester, and the fact
that two officers lay bleeding in the
yard raised tremendous excitement
and armed hosts were rushed to the
scene.
Meantime, Father Fitzgerald of st
Johns Church was summoned to ad-
minister extreme unction TO the police
officer dying in the alley. The priest
was amounting the body of Porteus,
with Alfred Bloomfield, n young boy,
standing by his side, when Charles
again appeared at the window. The lad
saw him and begged the desperate not
TO shoot. The negro, however, fired
again and Bloomfield fell dead. The
priest. unhurt, left the scene, after
pluckily performing the last offices for
the dead officer.
When the ambulance arrived two
men volunteered to go into the alley
and bring out the body Of Lally. They
entered and while they We're attempting
TO take away the body, Charles fired
again. The men got Lally's body out,
and afterward took Proteus' body out.
An immense crowd had now gathered,
and schemes We're then set on foot to
get Charles out of the building.
Charles, however, did not propose to
be captured without selling his life
dearly. Time after time he came to the
window, and AS men, one by one, en-
tered the alley, he blazed away at
them. In this manner, Confcctioner Lc-
Clerc. one of the special police squad,
ex-Policeman Evans, John Banyille and
George ii. Lyons We're wounded.
At this time the extra police began
to fire Mt the negro and he returned
their fire. Andy Van Kuren, jailor, got
bullet in the body and fell dead. Just
