GeIsommie Coniorti a Little Italian
Girl Prevented From Coming to
Kenosha by immigration Laws.
NOTED MEN TAKE UP. HER CAUSE.
senstors 0uarles and spooner and Con-
gresham Cooper Urge That the Young
Woman be Allowed to Proceed.

Over at Quebec Canada little Ital
ian girl is waiting at the Office of the
Immigration bureau for the permission
of the United States Government to
become citizen of this country. She
has been waiting there for the past
four months but it is probable that her
long wait will soon be over and she
will be allowed to join her relatives in
this country. The little girl is Gelsom-
mic Conforti the daughter of Antonio
Conforti of this city and she is sister
of the Conforti boys who are among
the best known mem bers of their race
in this city. Five months ago the girl
and her father sailed from sunny Italy
to join her brothers and sisters IN this
city and arrangements were made for
reunion of the family in the new
country. But when the party reached
Quebec the young woman was detained
By the immigration officials on account
of the fact that she was suffering from
slight Inflammation of the eyes.
Since that time her disease has grown
worse and alone. afar from friends and
kindred she is threatened with total
blindness. The members of the Con-
forti family have proven themselves
good citizens and for this reason the
sad plight of the girl has attracted a
great deal of sympathy in the case and
the leadinggmen of the state have been
enlistedsin the cause of securing her
entrance to this country. The brothers
of the child have spent money lavish1y
in making her comfortable in her en-
forced prison but they have not been
able to secure any ruling which will
allow her to, join her family in Keno
sha. In the meantime the officials at
EQuebec have ordered her deported to
Italy claiming that it is no longer pos
sible for her to be kept at the immigra,
| ton bureau.
| Friends of the Conforti family in
Kenosha, including District Attorney
Buckmaster, have taken up the case
and great influence is being used to
secure the admission of the young wo.
man to this country. Senators Spoo-
ner and Quar1es and Congressman
Fl. A. Cooper are now making the fight
| for her admittance personal matter,
and they have gone to Washington to
take up the matter with the Commits
sioners of Immigration in hopes of Sc
curing some modification of the law in
favor of the young woman. There is
no doubt but that the members OF her
family will provide amply for her sup
port, and it is thought that the fight
will in the end prove successful one.
The young woman cannot be sent
back to Italy, as IN this case she would
be entirely alone, all the members of
her family being residents now of Ke.
nosha.

Details Of the Murder Of Adam Bese-
MUS at Santa Maria, Cal. Re-
ceived After Many Days.
SLAYER CLAIMS SELF DEFENSE.
Had Been Stabbed in the Leg by Besenius
and Struck Him over the Head With a
Bottle. Murderer to Stand Trial.

After many days the friends and
relatives of Adam Besenius who was
killed in California have received the
details of his death ard arrangements
are being maze to prosecute the slayer
Joseph Fumassa is under arrest for the
crime and while he admits that Bese
MUS died from blow struck by him
he declaressthat the blow was struck in
self defense.
The fight which resulted ia the
death of the former Kenoshan took
place in a wine room in Santa Maria
on the evening of September 18th.
Besenius and Fumassa had been in the
wine house together and had some
trouble during the evening. Words
led to blows and it is alleged that Be-
senius drew glong knife from his
pocket andsstabbed Fumassa in the
back Of the leg causing a bad wound.
Fumassa alleges that he was making
an effort to get away from Besenius
and that he was stabbed just as he
was crawling over the wine room coun-
ter. Besenius is alleged to have con-
tinued in the pursuit and Fumassa de-
clares that after he had warned Bese-
MUS to keep away from him he picked
up the wine bottle and threw it at him.
The wine bottle struck Besenius full
on the head and he fell to the floor un-
conscious. He was taken to the hos
pital at Santa Maria and lived until
Oct. /. It is alleged that the skull
was fractured by the blow. Fumassa
made no effort to get away but at once
surrendered himself to the authorities
and on preliminary hearing was
der. The remains of Besenius were in
tered at Santa Maria. 1t seems that
stories to the effect that Besenius was
robbed after..he had been struck down
are withoutsfoundatio as there was a
large crowd in the saloon at the time
Of the killing and there would have
been no chance for robbery.
It seems that Besenius is pretty well
known in Santa Maria and it is said
that since he had been there he had
been of very quarrelsome disposi-
ton. Several times recently he had
trouble with Emen about the saloons
and some.Iof the western toughs ex-
pressed surprise that he had not been
murderously assaulted before. Flu
massa who has been arrested and
charged with the murder is saloon
man by profession and it is alleged
that he has always borne a good repu-
tation in the past. The arrest for
murder was his first arrest.
