A Bit Of Romance About Galleani.

In his Youthful days IN Italy (he was
born at Nercelli in Novara) Galleani
studied law OF the university Of Turin
where he soon branched out into the
study Of social subjects. A story that
is told Of him, whether true or not,
bears good deal Of the ulanor of ro-
nance. IL Ii that his prominence be
came such that the Italian government
bauished him to convict settlement On
the island of Pantellefia. Here one
stormy night, while the guard became
careless, he pushed out from the rocky
shore in small boat and next stepped
out ef the boat on the shore of Egypt.
The romance continues that he com
muDicatei with friends in Paterson and
soon landed among them. That was
many years ago. His wanderings since
then are not publicly chronicled.
However, that he was in Paterson at
the time of the silk riot Is stated by
Assistant Prosecutor Shaw and Sergeant
Lord, who We're in Barre yesterday. The
latter said that he knew Galleani well
by sight, as be had frequently run across
him in bis police work in Paterson. As
sistant Prosecutor Shaw came TO Yer
mont to untangle any legal snarls that
might arise over the question Of extra
dition, and II i probable that he will
conduct the prosecution.
The Indictment brought against the
prisoner states that he together with
divers other evil disposed persons to the
number OF one hundred and more with
clubs, guns, pistols and other weapons
"did rnlawfullY routonsly and riotousiy
assemble and gather together to disturb
the public peace and that they adld
break. damage iniure and attempt to
destroy" the silk mills of Bamford Bros.
Manufacturing company, Isaac A. Hall
and Robert Geade.
The Indictment further charges that
they @did then and there unlawfuIlv.
routously and riotously march and na.
rade through the public streets Of said
city and did then and there make a great
noise. tumult and disturbance: also.
that they remained together for long
space Of time, TO wit, for the space nf
five hours and more to the great terror !.
fear and disturbance" OF the citizens.
This IS only one Of the charges on
which Mcqueen is serving his sentence
and Assistant Prosecutor Shaw said YES
terdav that the other charges would
be brought against Gaileani.
