Bartlli cousin of Souleyman, after
consulting together gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
The newspapers of Maine we wish
to call upon every true Albanian in
the State to work together in an ef-
fort to wipe out this blot on our race.
We must kick out those rotten mem
bers of humanity. The Albanians of
Maine, who number more than 1000,
are more numerous in this State than
in any other state in the Union. Most
Of these men are industrious. honest
men, working in the cotton mills OF
Biddeford, Lewiston and Augusta.
Every honest man of the race in tn"
State is determined To assist in bring
ing the murderers to Justice
Benos added that the members of
Albanian Federation of the Earth, to
which Souleyman belonged, are for
the most part working hard to secure
evidence to present to the police. They
feel that this murder will work
great injury to their race unless the
perpetrators of the deed are brought
to justice, and they are anxious to
avoid being classed with members of
those Latin races which cause the po-
lice of this country so much trouble.
