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. The members are for
the most part criminals and counter
feiters, and hesitate at no atrocit v.
The inhuman cruelty of some or tie
Alafia agents is almost beyond bu1 t.an
credence, and savors of ti briut al iar
harity of the middle ages,. Viie-.nyo
Arditi ourned a victim's house in New
Orleans, hoping to bIur the wner at
the same time. Ile was sent to the

In October, 188. Antonio i'larcniii

the causes that led to Flacconiio's re
