VISIONS FREE AGED
ITALIAN PRISONER

ROME, Sept. 5.-After forty-seven
years of imprisonment thanks 30 the
Kings pardon) Alessandro Saraceni
has been released at the age OF 10.
After being pardoned he recounted
some curious facts of .telepathy OF
which he has been the subject.
saraceni was at one time in the
prison of Procida, near Naples.
In 1901 there appeared to him in
a dream the Madonna of Pompci,
who held the Queen Margharita by
the hand. The Queen smiled and
said: "Saraceni, if you save the life
of my son, justice will be shown 10
you"
In the morning be told his dream
to the governor of the prison ana
added: "The man who will attempt
to take the life Of the king is today
s years old"
II is true that D'Alba, who later
on was TO make exactly such an at
tempt was then S years old.
In 1912, on the night preceding the
actual attempt, Saraceni had another
vision.
This time the Madonna appeared TO
him with the Queen, who said to him
The victory is yours"
The following morning as soon as
he was up he began TO call out like
one possessed: "They are trying To
kill the King! Save the King! Holy
Mother of Pompei !"

near the home where she and Gabriel
lived.
According to Gabriers story, two
men--one Of whom he has twice iden-
titled as Anastacio Varga, who was
remanded to Jail without bond after
the hearing-awoke him as he slept
one night two weeks ago, and asked
to be placed on the right road. Anas'
tacio had worked for Gabriel three
years ago, for about three months.
PAIR STRUCK DOWN.
Gabriel testified at the hearing that
when he went to the gate to show the
two men the road. he and his wife
were struck down. Both of the victims
were rushed to San Antonio for treat
ment for their injuries, but a few
days ago, louisa, 65, died and was
taken home to be buried.
Too weak to walk to the habeas cor
pus hearing Saturday, Gabriel was
carried on a stretcher; calm and pa
tent except when his wife's name was
mentioned. he stubbornly stuck to his
original story and insisted that he
knew one of the murderers. When
Anastacioi confronted him, Gabriel
said, Isl. senior, he is the man."
And through the courtroom the echo
Of an old law seemed to come

JUSTICE NO PAYMENT.
But what can ever repay Gabriel
for the loss that has come TO him IN
his old age? Louisa was all he had.
There were no children. They had
lived in their little three-room house
on the Lamm farm for 20 years. Ihey
had never left the place. for iong, /,
their lives there were simple and nara,
but toll was their lot and they dldn
mind. They had each other.
When Louisa died, Gabriel thought
for awhile that he would have to per-
init her to be buried in potter's field,
in San Antonio-a cruel finale to the
tragedy of their lives; for Louisa was
not Of the city. She belonged TO the
fields where they had worked AMI
loved together.
MONEY ADVANCED.
But f. j. Lamm, owner of the
ranch where Gabriel lived, advanced
Gabriel the money to send Louisa
home for her long rest. She was buried
in the little lonely cemetery OF Mt.
Carmel chapel. near the Garcia home.
Gabriel. still suffering from in
iuries received in the attack. spoke
most Of the time in trembling whispers
or with a voice that quavered and
often broke. When Louisa's name was
mentioned his mask Of calm dropped,
y snd underneath the bitter grief OF her
loss showed through.
The tragedy of two weeks ago has
been chiseled on his furrowed face, as
though half of his old heart lies buried
out in the newest grave of Mt. Carmel
