night at which the Killing Of King Hum

that these anarchi"ts wanted the whole
world to know their sentiments
The principal speaker at the meeting
was Erneste Crevella 81 years Of age.
In the course Of an impassioned address
che said; I'VE are members of the group
of anarchists to which Bressi belonged.
He is a martyr. He has done what we
would have him do, Ask me do we APP

struction to Bressi to kill but he has done
what he knew to be right and we will sus-
tain him and give him our sympathy Was

Then came an implied threat against
high officials in this country when the
young man shouted. They have run
