Cleaned. 1t was learned that Amsieo
Is an expert In all that pertains to the
manufacture, handling and treatment
OF explosives, and Is therefore a yalu-
able man to the royal italian navy.
n He arrived in this port on the
Cruiser Liguria on April 23d and soon
thereafter deserted He was met by
another ex-member OF the italian
navy. who had deserted some three
months before. This man directed him
to the home OF Arturo Rossi. As soon
as he became acquainted In the domi-
Gle of the latter, he was given
pamphlets and other reading matter
containing the precepts and doctrines
of anarchy and advocating the abol-
ishment of all laws.
HIS FRIENDS ARE KNOWN,
Soon Amedeo was introduced to
Caesar Crespi. who edits and pub
fishes an italian paper In this city.
Both Rossi and Crespi have long been
accused by certain Italian residents
here of being anarchists. and during
the recent visit of the President both
men were kept under strict surveil-
lance by the secret service men and
the police.
Rossi is n machinist and owns a
little shop at S04 Sansome street.
Amedeo went to work for him. During
the investigation yesterday Amedeo
was asked the following questions by
Commissioner North:
IF Mr.. Rossi asked you to manu-
facture bomb or an Internal machine
would you do so?"
Il would perform the work" was
the answer the torpedo expert made.
The board was unanimous in the
opinion that Amedeo's clear notions as
to his duty about doing the bidding of
his anarchistic master relative to the
making of bombs and his generally
hazy ideas as to republican institutions
stamped him as dangerous man.
The Italian Consul at this port was
thereupon authorized and ordered to
ship the man on the steamer Sonoma.
He will be carried by this vessel to
Honolulu, where 1t Is expected the
cruiser Liguria will be waiting to take
him on.
DENY THEY ARE ANARCHISTS.
Both Rossi and Crespi deny that
they are anarchists. The latter says
he is the publisher of q republican
paper, but witnesses from the Italian
colony declare that his statement Is
merely cloak to cover the spread
ing of anarchstic doctrines. The
United States Marshal had consider
able trouble in locating Amedeo. as
he was kept in the company of Rossl.
The latter, in company with Crespi,
hired an attorney and appeared before
Judge DE Haven in the United States
District Court, where they sought 10
obtain Amedeos freedom on habeas
corpus proceedings, but the Court de-
MED their petition.
The board of inquiry was much sur
prlsed at the great number of friends
which this unknown sailor acquired
In his short stay in this country. AL
though three attorneys We're employed
no one seemed to know just who had
hired them. One of the lawyers said
he had been hired at the instigatlon
of a Mrs. Fritz, but when questioned
as to who she was and where she |
lived, expressed the greatest iGnor-
ance.
The officers looked upon this AMI |
other circumstances as very suspi-
cious, believing that powerful Sc
cret society was working in behalf OF !
the deserter. The Federal officers !,
have to deal with desertion cases al
most daily, but it was soon seen that |
this was an exceptional one.
Amedeo admitted to Commissioner
North that ROssi had confided to MIN
that he was an anarchist, but the
sailor maintained that he had joined
no society. Speaking of the case,
George w. HAGEN, Secret Service
agent. said:
Yes, we had Rossi and Crespl under
when the President was
here. OF course, we always keep
watch on such people. We have made
n number of attempts to stop Crespi's
paper from going through the mails.
but we have failed. so far
In one instance, in discussing the
ordinance stopping street meetings.
crespi expressed such sentiments as
these; Never mind free speech.
