ROW IN ANARCHIST COLONY.
President OF the Paterson Group Ar
rested Because of "A Woman

Paterson, N. j., April 29-The colony
OF anarchists in this city is excited over
the arrest of their president, Bruno
Nlazzotta, at the instance of Salvatore
Bianchi. who formerly belonged to the
hight of Existence group OF anarchists
This was the group to which Bresci be-
longed and of which Mazzotta is at pres
ont the leader or president Mazzotta is
also editor of II Monimento, an anarct-
list organ He is accused of assault. and
battery on Bianchi, and of living un-
lawfully with Mrs. Ambrosina Bianchi.
Since he made the charge, Bianchi. it is
said has disappeared under fear of
death.
Bianchi was never an active member
of the anarchist group. His wife took
more interest In the meetings than he
did. When King Humbert was assas-
sinated she proudly Wore Bresci me-
dallion at her heart. When her husband
ceased to attend the meetings Mazzatto
became her escort. She is an attractive
young woman of yiyacious disposition.
Her husband grew morose and finally
he forbade her going to the meetings.
Mrs. Bianchi asserted her independ-
ence. She told her husband that marital
laws and the obligations OF a woman
to man she did not love ought not to
be enforced. Next day she disappeared
from her home and her husband, after
a search, found her living with Mazzst-
ia at No. 225 Slater street. Mazzotta
kicked Bianchi down stairs when he
tried to take his wife away. Bianchi
went before Justice Sherry and made
the charges against Mazzotta. Two
days later Bianchi received a note
warning him that HE death would fol-
low the betrayal of an anarchist
Alarmed a. this threat. Bianchi dis
appeared las. Thursday, and his friends
say he has gone to Italy. Mazzotta does
not deny the charge of living with Mrs.
Bianchi. and ne now talks as If he
would set up the free love doctrine Of
the anarchists as his defense in court.
