connection with that celebrated case. Without his assiduous and corrupting influence we believe the verdict would have been radically different and, as a natural consequence, the tragic occurrences of the 14th of March last, never would have been recorded. McCrystal's voluntary statement to the grand jury, partly in the shape of a confession reveals some points and causes us to think that he would have told more but for the power and influence of O'Malley and his associates. McCrystal and Cooney were the trusted accomplices and figure throughout the whole affair with a prominence showing the high appreciation in which their services were had. WARD POLITICIANS REFERRED TO. We cannot fail to refer to the intimate relations existing between a class of ward politicians and the prime mover in all these infamous doings. We have it most directly confirmed that the person holding the position of inspector of weights and measures was often at the agency and was seen com ing to the court house in company with a talesman the day he was accepted as a juror. There is confirmed evidence that the influence of O'Mally with the nightwatchman and inspector of the electric light plant was so great that he caused them to manipulate the light at the corner of Girod street and Basin the night the jury was taken to the scene of the assassination to correspond with its alleged actions the night of the murder. His influence also accounts for alterations in the book of records at the electric plant. From the beginning of the investigation there is continuous evidence of the pernicious combination of what is known as O'MALLEY'S DETECTIVE AGENCY. It advertises that one of the ablest criminal lawyers at the bar is the attorney for the agency. We know for an absolute fact that a bank account is kept and checks drawn in the names of O'Malley and Adams, the interested parties being S. C.O'Malley and Lionel Adams. Such a combination between a detective and a prominent criminal lawyer is unheard of before in the civilized world, and when we contemplate its possibilities for evil we stand aghast. suborners and jury-tampers, and that it the counsel for the defense was to select has for some time been an element of for service such men as were well under discord in the community and a O'Malley's influence.

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION, setting forth the evils of the present methods, instancing the rcent introduction of Italian immigrants without any examination whatever, and whose names even were not on the passenger list of the ship. It declares that a crisis is reached and, on the magnitude of the issue, it becomes the duty of the next Congress to quickly enact such vigorous laws that complete protection shall be afforded. The grand jury says it has at no time lost sight of the necessity of a thorough investigation of the whole affair. They examined a large number of wit nesses, embracing those who were present at the memorable meeting on Canal street in the vicinity of the prison, etc. THE LYNCHING. The extended range of our researches has developed the existence of the secret organization styled "Mafia." The evidence comes from several sources, fully competent in themselves to attest its truth, while the fact is supported by a long record of bloodcurdling crimes, it being almost impossible to discover the perpetrators or secure witnesses. The officers of the Mafia and many of its members are now known. Among them are men born in this city of Italian origin, using their power for the basest purposes. Be it said to their eternal disgrace that a large number of the society is composed of Italians and Sicilians who left their native land in most cases under assumed names to avoid conviction and punishment for crimes. Others were escaped convicts and bandits outlawed in their own land, It is shown in the evidence, says the seeking the city of New Orleans for report, that the gathering on Saturday, the congenial companionship of their March 14th, embraced several thousand own class.

The magnitude of the affair at the prison makes it a difficult task to fix the guilt upon any number of partici pants; in fact, the act seemed to involve the entire people of the parish and the city of New Orleans, so profuse was their sympathy and so extended their connection with the affair. In view of these considerations & thorough examination of the subject has failed to disclose the necessary facts to justify this grand jury in presenting indictments. 』 CHICAGO, May 6.-Editorial com-show the necessity.

THE NEW ORLEANS LYNCHERS THE report of the grand jury at Orleans in reference to the lynching of the Italians is very unsatisfactory. There is plenty of it and it contains many interesting particulars, but it does not deal squarely with the main question. The verdict of the jury that tried the The evident purpose of the grand prisoners nor punish people who kill them, something ought to be done to establish there a truly civilized government. The confession of the grand jury is a disgrace to the city, and its apology for the slaughter of eleven persons who had been acquitted by a jury and who were held until another indictment might be found against them, is one of the weakest excuses ever offered for a crime that will make a broad, deep and damning blot upon the history of Louisiana. corrupting influences at work in New Orleans, is to palliate the crime perpetrated by the mob and which they were specially required to investigate. This is made more apparent by the sophistical reasoning about "the people not submitting the surrender of their rights into the hands of midnight assassins," etc., about the condition of affairs being such that "the law itself was well nigh powerless to deal with them," and the expression of a doubt that "any power at the command of the authorities has been sacrificed.” The gist of the report is a wholesale The principal subject of investiga- whitewashing of the promoters and tion was the unlawful killing of the perpetrators of the slaughter in the victims of riot, and the indictment of jail at New Orleans.

But their own conflicts are not of so much concern to the general public as are the instances where their murderous acts are directed against other people. Of course the grand jury were in the line of their duty in finding indictments against the persons alleged to have engaged in other efforts to defeat justice. But they have shown themselves incompetent or worse in their treatment of the offense which was specially before them for consideration The condition of public affairs in New Orleans disclosed by this report is would be punished.
