NEW ORLEANS, July B-With the
peaceable dispersal early today of posse
of 300 men who had formed at Gretna, La.
TO lynch the Italians convicted last night OF
the Lamana murder the acute crisis in the
kidnapping and murder incident is believed
to have safely passed.
The posse was the last OF several small
mobs which formed at widely separated
points and threatened hanging the Italians
II favorable opportunity presented. Gov
ernor Blanchards prompt action IN order
ing out two companies Of state militia
within two hours after the verdict is be-
lieved to have saved the Italians lives. The
soldiers arrived at Hahnvile Jail, where the
prisoners were confined, shortly before
midnight, in time to forestall plans which
were on foot to take posses thither from
New Orleans Nearly 100 soldiers guard
the lonely and exposed Hahnville Jail to-
day and It may be necessary to keep them
there until the Italians are removed to a
safer place. The prisoners must first be
sentenced.
Indignation over the jury's mild verdict
has grown considerably and many OF the
reports of the court proceedings, while
they show a fair trial comment to the ef-
feet that several OF the jurymen are large
employers of Italian labor, which aug

BOARD HOLDS UP FRANCHISE
Commissioners to Act on Sey-
mOur Park Proposition
4 July 81.

After listening for two hours to argu-
ments for and against the proposition. the
county board yesterday afternoon postponed
action on the granting OF a franchise to
Sinner g Chase for a street railway to
Seymour park until July 81, when II will be
taken up again. The meeting yesterday re-
suited in some mutual concessions, which
may lead to an agreement on the terms OF
the franchise.
The principal debate was as TO the method
f'lsuring the road would be built II the
franchise were granted. Some of the mem
bers of the board feared the franchise
might be used for speculative purposes or TO
keep some other syndicate from construc-
ing a street railway along this road. John
/ c. Wharton, who said he represented large
commercial interests I'm the city, asked
that Sinner & Chase be required to put up
q bond to construct the road within a GER
tain time. James H. Adams said this would
not be feasible. but he proposed to include
a provision to the effect that IL any other
person asked for franchise over the same
road and would put up a bond to build
within reasonable time, Sinner q Chase,
IN order to hold the franchise, should be
required to put up as large a bond.
After Mr.. Wharton had finished speaking
Mr.. Adams demanded to know who he rep
resented In reply Mr.. Wharton demanded
10 know the names of the men who were
lending financial backing to the plan to de-
velop Seymour park Mono OF the informa-
tion demanded was given. At the suggestion
OF Mr.. Kennard a provision will probably
be added TO the franchise requiring the op-
orators OF the road to permit other roads
TO use its tracks for a reasonable compensa-
tion. Mr.. Kennard also spoke IN favor OF
twenty-five-year franchise Unsteady OF q
ffty-ye0r term. This however, was not
satisfactory to Sinner & Chase w. l.
Kierstead again appeared and spoke against
granting the franchises unless a bond was
given that the road would be built and the
county road along which It runs properly
protected. In his address Mr. Adams hinted
at oity OF from 5000 to 1900 inhabitants
at Seymour park, but he said the road
would not be paying proposition for q
number OF years. He said II was not In.
tended as a monsy-making proposition ir

DRAMATIC SCENES IN COURT
Relatives of Frau MOIitor Tell OF
Deeds of Karl HRu in
Murder Trial,

KARLSRUHE. July 19.-The third day OF
the trial of Karl Hau, who Is accused OF
the murder of his motherin-law, Frau
Molitor, at Baden Baden, last November,
brought a climax of dramatic interest.
Testimony was given by the sisters and
brother of Hau's wife, who committed sui
eide since the incarceration Of her husband.
and the letters she wrote Just before taking
her life together with the statement made
by Hau after his last interview with his
wife in Jail on June e were read in court.
Lieutenant Molitor, who is stationed at
Metz, swore he suspected Hau from the
first His explanation Of the dispatch sent
to Frau Molitor by Hau from Paris was
that his mother, as he knew, was easily
agitated and excited over bad news. The
accused, therefore sent the message saying
her daughter Olga was dangerously i'll, in
the hope that its receipt would cause a
stroke of apoplexy. Describing his talks
with the late Mrs. Hau. his sister, after
his ret from London, the lieutenant
said Il IS first theory was that some
en- IS NHau had killed her mother in
throw suspicion on her husband.
y Mrs. Hnu Admits Theory.
y y fell to the lieutenant to explain to
Sis sister all the circumstances OF the case
I pointing to the guilt of her husband. and
this recital, he said finally convinced her
that Karl was the murderer. She broke
down and groveled on the floor in the
struggle against conviction, but finally
! yielded to the evidence. At her request,
! the lieutenant cabled TO WASHINGTON ask
| ing II his sisters patrimony of $4,000 was
still in the Union Trust company. The ans
wer he received was that Hau had with
drawn all this money. Mrs. Hau said her
husband had repeatedly assured her that
this money was still intact in the trust
company.
Herr Dietz counsel for Hau read letter
which Mrs Hau had written him from
Zurich regarding her last interview with
her husband. which took place in prison
June 7. Mrs. Hau wrote this interview was
rather unsatisfactory and exciting.
Tells why wife Killed Herself.
At this point Iau arose and asked per
mission of the court to make a statement
Speaking slowly in very low voice. the
prisoner said his wife had told him at this
interview that she intended to commit sui
eide because she was unable to hear al
her family matters discussed before the
public.
He tried to persuade her TO desist from
this purpose. as It would create an i'm
preston that he was guilty. After she
left the jail he had a telephone message
sent to Herr Dietz telling him to preven
Mrs. Hau from taking her life Hau mad'

PRIVATE PHONES FOR COUNTY
Commissioners Thinking of Having
Independent Switchboard at
Court House.

The county board Is considering putting
a private telephone exchange In the court
house 10 connect all OF the ofices with a
central switchboard and with the Bell
telephone system. Guy II. Pratt OF the
Nebraska Telephone company appeared be-
fore the board yesterday afternoon and
submitted q proposition by which the sys-
tenn could be installed at q cost not to
exceed the amount the county is now
paying for telephones. The system would
include the phones in the county store,
the county attorneys ONCE and the jail.
which are outside the court house.
The county is now paying t7S40 for the
fifteen telephones incoivsd in the proposed
change. The company would install the
system with provision for twenty-one In.
struments for $50 a month. leaving $3.50
a month out OF which the operator could
be employed. Mr. Pratt promised to sup
ply trained operator for 80 = month.
The advantages OF the Sytem would be
70 provide a central station TO answer all
calls and to connect inQuirers with the
Offices they want. doing away with the con-
fusion resulting for the calling OF the
wrong Orices and prov4ding greater en-
cheney OF service. The system would per
NIT eight persons to talk through the cen
trd at the same time. The board took
the proposition under advisement.
