RICHMOND, Va, December 11.-An ef-
fort is being made by Mr.. James f. Glenn

case of Joseph Thomas, alias Wright, col
ored, who was sentenced to be hanged next

ure Of Miss Risley to identify Wright as
her assailant at the Crucial and psychology
ical moment, when she first confronted him

ton that doubt exists as to whether crini-
nal assault was actually committed.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 11.-Struck in the
heart with double charge of heavy mimic
balls and shot fired through window a
few feet away, Salvatore Svelazo was in
stantly killed early today in the back room
of his saloon at 2G6 Forsyth street. The
charge was fired from double-barreled
weapon and tore his heart to pieces. A
cannon ball could scarcely have done more
terrible work. The police believe 1t to be
another BLACK Hand" crime.
So tremendous was the charge behind the
slugs and buckshot that one ball, almost
half an inch in diameter. pierced Svelazo' s
body, entering under the left collarbone.
passing through his body and then boring
through a four-inch joist and part of the
partition. Another ball entered his body
below the left breast, passed out to the
right of the spinal column, penetrated the
partition and then had sufficient momentum
to penetrate the door and be lost in the
street.
The murder closely resembled similar
one week ago, and only a block away,
in LIST street. when another Italian saloon
keeper was killed by a shot through the
window of his home. An the persons con-
cerned in both murders are Sicilians. One
arrest was made directly after the shooting
today. John Marcella, Sicilian, who says
he was in the front of the saloon when
Svelazo was shot, was seen running from
the saloon, and was stopped and arrested
by Patrolman Cramer of the Eldridge sta
ton. The man told Cramer that he was
looking for a policeman.
Wound in Chest.
The policeman found Svelazo with gap
ing wound in his chest dead on the floor.
A pane Of glass in a window few feet
away was blown in, and outside Cramer
found how the murderer had lain in walt
for his victim. s.
An old door had been placed across two
beer kegs, so that the assassin, standing
on this inaprovised platform, was on level
with the window. There was blind out
side the glass which hid the murderer. He
poised his weapon on the top of the lower
half of the sash, and when SvelaZo entered
the back room and came In line he fired.
Marcolla, in talking with Detective Sergts
Bottle and Archiopoi of the staff OF Detec-
tive Sergt Petrosino. said he was bar
Der, living at 165 Chrystie street. He had
been out of work. he declared, and pawn
tickets in his pocket showed ne mad
pawned his tools. He came to this country
from Palermo, as did the murdered man
Blackmail the Idea.
The detectives believe the motive for this
killing and that of a week ago in First
street, almost to the hour. is to be found
in the operations of Sicilan blackmailers
Both victims were saloonkeepers; neither
had been robbed. The detectives figure
that the assassins reckon that after they
have killed a few business men who refuse
to pay them tribute they Will have others
so frightened that they will not resist their
demands,

The War Department has selected the
site for the government powder factory for
which Congress appropriated $16o, 900 the
last session in Dover, N. ]. The plant will
be one Of the finest of its kind in existence,
and appliances will be installed which Will

Rock Island. ILL.,, was also thought Of in
this connection, but Gen. Crozier, chief of
ordnance, after considering all the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the two places,
fixed upon Dover as the most desirable, not
only on account of the purity Of the water
there. but also because. not being so thickly
settled as Rock Island, it afforded the
greater opportunity for safely testing guns
of the larger caliber.

Fierce Struggle Between Great Rivals
Decided at Savin Rock.
In a game fraught with the superla-

spectators, the Tigers, Of the City
league, defeated their great rivals of
the same organization, the st. Johns,
at savin Rock yesterday morning by a
score Of to Z.
The Tigers took the lead at the start,
scoring two in the first, while the st,
Johns were goose-egged. The third
saw a break on both sides, st. Johns
gathering in four and Tigers three. The
st. Johns brought the score to tie in
the fourth, and the sixth saw the tally
sheet at to 6. The Tigers proved a
| little too fierce in the last third of the
game, however, and gathered in two to
their opponents one. Final score: Zig
ers 8, st. Johns T.
The batteries were Burns and Griffin
for st. Johns and Hertz and Ginter for
Tigers. About $500 had been placed or
the game, and the highest confidence in
each team was shown by its rooters.

THE BEN GREET

Outdoor Performance Tomorrow.
Mr.. Ben Greet, whose ouL-of-door
performances of AS You Like IT. and
The Tempest" are to be given here on
Friday, is a fine type of successful
idealist.
In conjunction with other scholars he
became a member Of The Elizabethan
society in London, whose purpose was
the fosetring of the drama of that Pc
Rod. With the aid and encouragement
of this society, with it's influence among
cultured and literary people, some OF
the wonderful old morality plays are
given. Many will remember the liter
airy beauty and perfection of perform
ance of "Everyman, which Mr.. Greet
gave here two seasons ago.
For twenty years he has been giv-
ing Shakespeare plays ''as Shakespeare
wrote them A simple but beautiful
setting was used, copy of the only
drawing extant of the Globe theater,
and with this as q background and
without changes of scenery the entire
play is given as intended. A Whlrl OF
discussion met the first of cheese per-
formances in America, but in university
and literary circles Mr.. Greet's work
received unqualified praise. There is
now no doubt that the simple beauty
| of these presentations are having a
deep influence upon many people, con-
vincing them that the great dramatic
works of art are quite capable Of stand
ing alone without the aid of all the
] +1 NTo+ G,raa 1ir,ar1
proves of scenery, but that he simply
thinks 1t out of the question in per-
feet presentation of Shakespeare s
plays.
With all the Heterogeneous that
were first met with here in his every
man" production he kept persistently
on backing this play when everyone
else mad deserted him, feeling sure that
there was a large public in America,
who would and did appreciate the ar
tistic drama His judgment proved ul-
timately correct, and large fortune
was made-so substantial a one that
Mr.. Greet was ableto give to the Eliza
bethan society for the furtherance OF
its work the neat sum of $4,000. Anc
in his Shakespearean performances he
T has maintained the same high ideals
having absolute faith in the public ant
} their judgment of his work. And with
out the slightest lowering of his idea
ne has met with remarkable success
i both artistically and financially.

giving here rely upon nature for a set
