The Cincinnati Enquirer of Suntlay last gives the following interesting sketch of the dread Malia organization, to which the assassination of Suuerin tendent Ilennessy is attriluted : The La Mafia is a secret organization composed almost entirnly of Sicilians, and was founded by an Italian cut throat named Mafia at Palermo a hun dred years ago.
