MALTA KING DEFIANT
TAKEN INTO COURT STRAPPED
HAND AND FOOT TO LITTER.
Ferrone, Wife Slayer, With Curses on
His Lips and Blazing Eyes, Hears
New York Judge Sentence Him to
Electric Chair.

New York.-They carried Joseph
Ferrone, king of the Malta, into court
the other day, with his hands and feet
strapped to a litter. While his eyes
blazed and he uttered curses, the wife
murderer was sentenced by Judge
Foster, in general sessions. to death
in the electric chair at Sing Sing dur
Ing the week Of February &c.
Il was one of the most thrilling
scenes ever witnessed in q New York
court.
Ferrone was the terror Of his peo-
Pile, and his life history a sheet of
bloody crimes. In Italian sections OF
the city he was feared, and men and
women paid tribute to his power lest
they should pass through the valley
OF the shadow for their failure &c
acknowledge his dictatorship.
During the trial witness after wilt.
ness was noticed to turn pale. hesl-
tate and stop in the course Of their
testimony. When once they stopped
they refused to go on, saying they
could not remember The court was
unable to account for their horror
stricken faces until Captain Tanning.
Of the court squad, detected John Fer
rome, the prisoners brother, giving
the Malta death sign. 1t was that
which had stilled their tongues. John
was then ordered from the room for
the remainder OF the trial.
When Ferrone was convicted he be-
came like a fend. The nature that
had gained the upper hand when he
murdered his wife on October "a, and
when he had tortured many a victim
into submission to his will, came into
power. He fought to kill. He was
not particular whom he wanted to
kill. He just wanted to wreak his
vengeance upon some one who had
had something to do with his convic'
ton.
Only the strong arms Of several po'
licemen were able to keep him from
committing another murder, and when
he found that impossible to keep him
from committing suicide by cutting
his throat with a piece OF glass.
It was to prevent repetition OF
such scene that he was bound to-
day when taken into court. He was
unable to move a hand or foot. But
his body writhed. his eyes flashed and
his mouth heaped curses on every one
present. as he was propped up to hear
the sentence Of death.
After sentence was pronounced.
Ferrone was again carried by prison
guards from the courtroom and to the
prison pen. Here his three-year-old
daughter Lizzie. in charge of Fer
rone's sister, was admitted to the pen.
and saw her father through the bars
OF the cage"
The child cried and had to be tax.
en- from the Enclosure. Ferrone was
then taken back to his cell in tho
Tombs.
During the proceedings Sheriff
Harberger sat on the bench with
Judge Foster.

Tries to Die.

lady who he had been paying atten-
ton to for some time was in a hos
pital to be operated upon for an
attack of appendicitis, Edward Bit
dorf, twenty-eight years old, an in
a agent residing at Manhattan

downcast mood. He retired to his
room about 8 O'Clock and shortly
afterward he called downstairs to
his mother, Mrs. Frederick Bit

bid her goodbye and said he was
sorry for his act. An emetic was
given but the young man soon lapsed
into an unconscious condition.
The young lady to whom Bittdorf
had been paying attention and whom
1t Is said he committed the rash act
for, Is Miss Elsie Hartmann of
Richmond Valley, who is now at the
s. r. Smith Infirmary recovering
from an operation for appendicitis.
A photograph of the young lady and
a note to her were found in his room.
The physician said this morning that
the young man would recover. Bit
dorf is under arrest and a patrolman
has been stationed at his bedside all
night. AS soon as he he
will be arraigned in court. Bittdorf
