PAYS PENALTY FOR
 ATROCIOUS CRIME

Hahnville, La, July 16.-Leonardo Geb- bia, an Italian, the first person ever sent to the gallows in Louisiana for crime committed in the name of the so-called Black Hand' society, was hanged here shortly before ? O clock this afternoon. He received the last saoraments of his re- ligion from priest before being taken to the scaffold. but if a confession was made of tho part he is alleged to have played in the murder of s-year-old Walter Lamana his father confessor said nothing of 1t.
 When asked if he wanted anything. Gebbia requested that Peter Lamana- father of the murdered child. be kept out of the jallyard and that the squad of newspaper reporters be driven away en- tirely. Only his first request was granted.
 Leonardo Gebbia was convicted of com plicity in the murder of Walter Lamana, 8-year-old son of Peter Lamana, an un- dertaker of New Orleans. The crime was committed in the name of the Black Hand" On June 8, 1907, the boy was kidnapped from his home and the follow ing day the father received a demand for $6O00 ransom. When this was refused other demands, all bearing the sign of the Black Hand,' were made with the threat that unless the money was paid under certain directions the lad would be killed.
 It was learned that several Italians had been overheard concocting a plot to kid nap the youth, and a vigilance commit tee of Italian citizens was formed to aid the police in the search. For days this went on and excitement ia New Orleans was intense.
 Three weeks after young Lamana had been spirited away his beheaded Body was found near here in the swamps of St. Charles parish. Ten Italians. includ- ing Gebbia and his sister, Nicolna, were indicted for the murder. Four of this number escaped, but four others, includ- ing one woman. were tried here and sen fenced to life Imprisonment in the state penitentiary. The trial of Gebbia and his sister occurred some months sitter ward and they were found guilty and sen fenced to death. Recently the board Of pardons commuted the woman's sentence to life Imprisonment.
 Peter Lamana, father of the murdered boy, appealed to the authorities to permit him to act as Gebbia's executioner, but without result.

Blrming- ham is the coming city of the south
 When asked who was being considered for the presidency of the Seaboard Mir Williams replied -''I really have no idea who will be president. That matter is yet to be taken up.'
 MT. Williams further remarked that no one interest or set was in control; that the stock was widely distributed and that the condition of the company was all the healthier by reason of that fact
