slaughter, even though the victim may
be friend and benefactor
Brickbats Are Weapons
Orientals of all nations are much
more likely to resort to murder than
are the Aryan or African races, and
when an Oriental commits a crime OF
blood he quite often does it with such
remarkable craft and cunning that de-
lection is made a very difficult task.
MeXicans are excellent knife men
when 1t comes to the commission of a
murder and they prefer to stab in the
throat from In front or insert the
knife under the fifth rib.
The Irish are not murderous race
and his weapon at the worst is usual
ly a blunderbuss or a briekbat.
Bohemians are crafty when it comes
to the destruction of human life and
they have been known to set pitfalls
or fatal traps which mean certain
death for the intended victim and yet
give the assassin an opportunity of
escape.
Frenchmen are not deliberate MUIR
derers. A tragedy often occurs in the
heat of a quarrel when an abslntne
bottle or a cafe chair is most likely
to be the weapon.
Spanish murderers use the stilletto
or the knife and also employ the gar
rote after the fashion OF the Orientals.
A prominent police officer, when
asked how an Armenian would COM
nit a murder, remarked that he would
do il with rife at distance of about
enc mile and when on the run. They
are so busy being murdered" said the
officer, that they have little time to
take the initiative"
But no matter in what way the
criminal goes about his killing he Will
sooner or later nav the penalty. In
most cases the moose and trap, the
electric chair, or the smooth running
euiiiotine, ends the earthly career of
the murderously inclined while many
are killed when endeavoring to escape
or suffer untold tortures while at.

III TRoVAToRE is SUNG

al Trovatore," an opera in four acts, by
Verdi as sung at the Mason opera house
by the International grand opera company,
Wednesday matinee, August Il, 1909
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-12
THE CAST

al Trovatore," one of the operas ire
sented most satisfactorily last week,
was repeated yesterday afternoon and,
with Therry, Strauss. Oteri and zara
to present the roles was splendidly
done. The honors of the afternoon
went to Strauss. who, as Azucena, both
played and sang her gypsy part in a
manner that added new laurels to those
already won from Los Angeles admir-
ers. Strauss has a wonderfully beauti-
full voice, melodious and perfectly
toned, and her work with Bari in the
prison scene is something long TO be
remembered.
Therry is so thoroughly an actress
and an artistic that one forgets her
personality in the character she as
sumes, and then she in turn reveals to
us the passionate heart of wOmanhood
by means of that very art. Her play
ing yesterday was not SO consistently
strong in Fedora" =" but in the Mis-
erere" with Bari, and again in the
death scene, she thrilled her audience,
which listened breathlessly and ap-
plauded heartily.
Both Bari and lara were in fine
voice, and fully appreciated the abund-
ant opportunities offered, both dra-
matically and vocally. NJ. n. F. B.
