DELISSI0 ASKS
(. FOR A PARDON
Seven from Middlesex Would
Get Out of Prison.

An application made to the Court
of Pardons for the parole of Pas
quale Delssio. who is serving a
I twenty-year sentence in the State
( prison for murder, recalls one of the
( most mysterious and sensational
homicide cases that occurred in the
county in recent years.
f Early in 1907 theIe was fierce
fight in the italian colony at Port
+ Reading. Knives and pistols were
freely used, and brother of Delissio,
who was a special policeman, was
stabbed end left for dead
Later in the night a party OF men
burst into the house of an Italian and
one of them shot him as he was on
& his knees begging for mercy. The
( young son of the murdered man ac-
scused Pasquale Delissio, who left
Port Reading early the next morning.
/ Delissio was captured in New York.
The trial was chiefly remarkable
for the dramatic story of the boy,
who described the killing AMI ac-
eused Delissio of shooting his father,
Delissio was convicted of murder In
the first degree and Justice Swayze
Z sentenced him to the electric chair.
Alan H. Strong carried tie case to
+ the Court of Errors, and secured
new trial, through a technical mis-
take in the charge to the jury. When
the new trial came on Delissio plead
! ed guilty to murder In the second
degree, but imme 1iately afterwards
a friend published a statement that
Delissio was not guilty and was the
victim OF an Italian feud. The man
was sentenced to twenty years,
In his defense Delissio tried to
prove an alibi, and also showed that
a man closely resembling him had
left Port Reading the night OF the
murder. Delissio explained his own
night by saying that he was afraid
he himself would be killed.
Haas Seeks Pardon.
Paul Halas, OF Perth Amboy. Is
another accused OF homicide who is
seeking parole. He killed a man In
saloon fight about three years ago.
He was convicted Of manslaughter
and sentenced to seven years.
Thomas Gallagher, who was sem
fenced to two years in prison for an
attack on Barbara Soukup, OF Dun
ellen, has also applied for pardon.
He has served about year, and is
In poor health. He is over sixty
years Of age, and Judge DAILY i'm
posed a light sentence upon him be-
cause he realized that longer term
would practically mean life imprison-
ment.
John Dhravenka, OF Perth Amboy,
who was sentenced to fifteen years
for carnal abuse, has also applied for
.ole.
- Three other Middlesex men ask
for pardons. They are Emil Sameth,
William Haffron and Alexander
Kramer.

Goes to Vote Soon.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Charleston, w. Va.-Senator Kern's
resolution for a federal investigation
OF conditions accompanying the strike
of coal miners in West Virginia adj
vanced through three hours of debate
to point where it's friends believe
that vote upon il will be taken soon
Senator Kern led the supporting col
umn In favor OF the resolution in a
long speech, and Senators Borah. Root
and Hollis concurred in part in his de-
mand for an investigation. Senators
Chiffon and Golf, OF West Virginia. eX-
pressed their disapproval. Senator
Chiffon argued against an investiga-
ton by the senate OF acts done in
sovereign state and maintained that
the courts were amply able to review
them. Senator Goff had not concluded
his address when the senate ad.
1ourned. The attitude of many OF Mr..
kern's Democratic colleagues was
shown when Senator Bacon, of Geor-
gia. inquired:
"Hn.ft could the senate do If one
Of oNr coHpmittees found conditions ex.
fstiag IN West Virginia described in
afhdaNits land statements received by
the senator from Indiana? What rem.
cay cou5d be applied TO the situations"
ME- kern's answer was that even
though the senate were unable TO take
any substantive action in disciplining
West Virginia, the publicity which fol-
lowed an investigation would compel
the amelioration of conditions under
which the coal miners work and nut
an end TO alleged abuses practiced by
the coal operators, besides teaching
the civil and military authorities of
the state a much needed lesson in the
constitutional rights OF citizens OF the
United States. Senator Chiffon. OF
West Virginia, who is opposed to the
investigation unless Gov. Hatfield asks
for II, maintained this afternoon that
the men who have been complaining
against the reported excuses by mill.
cary court-martial and the civil author
ties, had recourse to the civil courts
He insisted that the Kern resolution
should be referred to the committee on
education and labor. When Senator
Kern used the expression political
exigencies," Mr.. Chiffon retorted with
some warmth: Coming back TO this
senate is not as Important to me as
being right have no fear of political
consequences. If the governor of West
Virginia wants this Investigation. all
right; but / am not gong to stand for
my state being Inundated or treated
unfairly"

night, between the Sentimental ten

mournful looking young man appears
He is greeted with derisive yells.
He sings, or tries to sing, a senti
mental ballad and comic song. He
also initiates animals, the noises OF
tools and the whistling of locomotives
The effect is 80 deplorable that the
audience recently insisted on the no
Bile clown" apologizing for his lack OF
skill. He humbly advanced to the
tootlights and bowed to right left and
before him Then in n voice choked
with sobs, he began to express his re-

went down on his knees, offered pro-
fuse apologies for his lack OF skill and
promised TO do his best to please them
in the future.
Few who have seen this lamentable
exhibition know its origin and ex-
cuse. This abject buffoonery is in
spired by one Of the noblest motives

the oldest and noblest families in Ven

with his intirm and penniless mother.
For many years they lived on the
charity of friends, but the old woman

into an almshouse would be the only
means of saving her life. But this
cannot be obtained without the pay
