ITALIAN IS
KILLED BY
BLACK HAND
IN NEW

NOTES WANTING MONEY
His Daughter Kills the Assassin
As Was Attempting to Make
His Escape From the Scene

New Orleans, July 12.-Joseph
Mauzella, an Italian proprietor
of a saloon aud grocery at st.
Philip and Decatur streets, fell a
victim to the so-called "Black
Hand" society today, but his
death was avenged a few seconds
later when his 17-year-old daugh-
ter shot and killed the assassin as
he was attempting to escape.
Manzella had recently received
many letters demanding money.
They we're signed BLACK Hand
Society,"" Shortly before noon
today an Italian apparently about
thirty years old asked if any
money was forthcoming. When
ordered out he shot Manzello in
the breast. AS Manzella fell he
drew his revolver and fired at the
assassin but it has not not beer

bullet found its mark. Young
Josephine Manzella had rushed
into the store at the first sho'

chase to the assassin firing a
him as she ran.
When the police arrived th'
girl was bending over the dea'
body of her father weeping. Th'
dead body of his slayer lay in tn

NOT ABUSE, BUT FACTS.


The word traitor does not apply to
those people who honestly differ from
Gov. Patterson or the organized demo-
cracy.
The Commercial Appeal, for itself,
does not intend to be tricked into
campaign of abuse, but let not the
leaders of this boiling movement take
unto themselves the name of "insur-
gent"
Those who inspired this bolt were
guilty of an act of political treachery.
They bolted without an excuse, and
they are willing to betray the demo
cratic party of Tennessee into the
hands of its enemies so long as they
may hold office. 1t is the lowest form
of political treachery. 1t is not that
treachery that is based merely OH pas
sion. 1t is treachery bottomed in
the hope of a reward in the shape of
of an office.
The leaders against the straight tick
ct are now Office holders. They have
been Office holders most of the time of
their voting lives, and rather than run
the risk of losing office they are now
attempting to scuttle the ship that has
borne them safely through so many
kpolictical storms.
| Gates, member of the law firm of
Shields, Gates & Mountcastle, which
law firm has large public corpora
ton practice, is the attorney general OF
| this state.
Gates, Patterson charges, had the be-
ginning of his anger because Patterson
did veto fee-grabbing bill, which
Gates attempted to put through the leg
islature for the benefit of the office he
held.
John X. Shields, who did not consid-
er it dragging the Judicial ermine in
the mire when he dickered with some
of Pattersons supporters, and when he
sent out letters to his close friends, ask
ing them TO hurry up the conventions
is now Il member Of the supreme cour
and is candidate for re election.

road commissioner, and as soon as hi!

is mighty in the cause of the independ
ent judiciary ticket, as he was mighty
last year in the cause Of statewide.
The Hon. Harvey Hannah, who, it il
said, tore the tail from Halley's come
in one Of his skyscraping flights of elo
: quence, is also an officehoder, as h
has been an officeholder since he wa
old enough to vote. Harvey is also at

These gentlemen are not 'insurgents.
They are members of an officeholdini

exact reply here copied varies some
what from that heretofore published.
/ had not intended to say, except in
a private way, anything concerning
the judicial race, other than that which
| have already said. Your repeated
publications on the correspondence
above has been SO unjust, misleading,
dictatorial and indefensible that it is
perhaps time that some one of the as
sailed democratic candidates for con-
gress should have talk with you.
There is nothing in the reply to Mr..
Robertson as chairman of the demo-
cratic committee that even remotely
indicates desertion of the demcratic
organization or a disapproval OF its
platform or candidates, nor is there
the slightest intimation that they
will not receive support of the demo-
cratic members of congress from Ten
nessee. We simply recognize the fact
that we might do more to restore har-
mony in quiet way than by public
discussion of the factionalism in the
party, and that there areother elections
ahead of us equally as important as
the August election, and that as we are
to be active participants in the No
vember elections, it behooves us, in the
interest Of our party, state and nation
al, not to produce condition Of fur
ther antagonism, dangerous to good
results TO democracy and productive OF
ultimate party disruption in the state.
