Italians of New York Murder Man and
a Riot Ensues—Reserves of Police
Called Out to Protect Prisoner from
Enraged Mob.
Now York, August 24.—Salvator Bo.
esseto, 18 years old, was shot to
death and his father was severely
beaten in Park street early today be
cause he had disclosed to the police
some secrets of the alleged “Black
Hand.”
The father was knocked down and
choked into Insensibility by the slayer,
who then ran down the street followed
by a great mob.
Italians to the number of 1,000 later
attacked the Elizabeth street police
station, hurled missiles at the police
and prisoners, hurting two detectives
and one policeman.
They would have torn the murderer
limb from limb had it not been for the
arrival of the reserve police from two
station houses, who were forced to
use their clubs and threatened to
shoot.
According to the police the murder
was deliberately planned by an or
ganized gang and this gang Is alleged
to have sent to Toronto for Rossati,
who arrived last night. After his ar-
rival he was seen about Mulberry
Bend with Italians, and his immense
stature attracted attention.
Boessoto is an enemy of these or
ganized gangs and his sou inherited
the father’s opposition to the law
less element of their countrymen.
When not studying music, young Bo
essoto helped about the restaurant.
Several weeks ago he learned that the
murderous gang about Mulberry Bend
had planned to rob a number of mi
ners who were coming through New
York and who had engaged board in
the lodging house over the Boessoto
restaurant.
Young Boessoto went to the police
and asked for protection for the men,
and soon an Italian detective had ar
rested twelve suspicious characters,
who were held until the miners had
taken a ship for their homes.
Once out of jail, it was said, the
gang determined on Boessoto’s death.
Early today Rossati entered the res
taurant and when approached by tha
Elder Boessoto said he wanted noth
ing. As Boessoto was about to close
the place he asked Rossati to leave.
The latter became insulting and re
fused. Young Boessoto, who was in
the kitchen, heard his father and tha
man in an argument. Ho came out,
and up to this time the man had mado
no demonstration of violence, hut tha
Instant he saw Young Boessoto, Ros
sati took a pistol from his pocket, lev
elled it at the youth and fired. Tha
bullet struck the boy between the eyes
and ho fell, dying instantly. Rossati
then, according to the police, struck
the elder Boessoto with his first,
knocking him down and started to run,
hut was captured before he had gone
two blocks.
On Sunday the Boessotos found on
their door the “Bridge of Death,” a
symbolistic sign of the Sicilians which
Is said to be a threat of death. Tha
elder Boessoto looked on this as a
Joka at the time.
At the police station Rossati said
little beyond declaring he shot in self-
defense.

She Is Jerked From Her Bed Where
She Lay Asleep.
Atlanta, August 24.—“Open your
mouth, and I’ll split you open from
head to foot!” were the words of fl
burly black brute, uttered to Mrs.
E. N. Close, yesterday afternoon
about 3 o’clock in her bed room, at
her residence, 183 Blast Fair street,
as her assailant held above her a
knife, after the lady had been violent
ly Jerked from her bed to the floor.
In broad open daylight yesterday af.
ternoon a negro of large physique and
supposed to be Major Thomas, who
works for E. A. Moore, a grocer, cor
ner Whitehall and Brotherton streets,
entered the home of Mrs. Close while
she was asleep in her bedroom, and as
he pulled open a dresser drawer, Mrs.
Close was awakened, and to her hor
ror saw the negro In her room.
She was frightened almost to pros
tration for awhile, and did not speak
until the intruder had sought flight
through the rear of the house. He
escaped before she could recognize
him. As soon as the negro saw that
Mrs. Close had awakened, he sprng
to her bedside, violently Jerked her
from it to the floro, and, drawing a
knife, threatened her life If she should
speak.
Suddenly he dashed from her room
and out of the lattice door in the rear
of the house, and escaped through a
back gate.
Beyond much nervousness and a
bruise on her left arm. which is a
result of the fall on the floor when she
was jerked from her bed, Mrs. Close
Is not otherwise injured.

Butchers of Chicago Expect Financial
Assistance from Unions.
Chicago, August 24.—President Don-
nelly, the leader of the stockyards
strikers, returned from Indianapolis
today, after having made an appeal to
the miners’ national organization for
financial assistance in conducting the
strike. Donnelly had received no def
inite reply from the miners when ha
left. He declared, however, that ho
had every reason to anticipate re
sults from his appeal.
President Donnelly conferred with
his principal chiefs and then hurried
to the regular session of the Allied
Trades’ conference board, where ho
made a report. When asked what he
thought of a settlement through the
proposed action of the city council,
the head of the butchers’ organization
said he did not place much hope in It.
He said he was not aware of any
other pending peace effort.
She Fails, However, to Recover Her
Son.
Asheville, N. C., August 24.—“Take
your finger from my face, you little
Jew Pinkerton detective, until you can
grow some,” flashed fro mthe mouth
of Mrs. John Frank James, the wife
of a wealthy New York merchant, at
Swannanoa station this morning,
where she had gone to take her child
from her husband, Pinkerton Detec
tive Davis and an unknown man.
The incident unfolded a story of a
daring kidnaping enacted here Mon
day afternoon with all the circumstan
ces of a melodrama. The 5-year-old
son of Mrs. James was kidnaped while
momentarily out of his mother’s sight
in West Asheville, seized from his
nurse in a carriage by his father, a
friend and a noted Pinkerton detec
tive, and then the party drove rapidly
to Asheville, thence to a small rail
road station, where the mother located
them, and where, as the party was
about to take the train, came the
mother and a scene which astonished
the villagers.
It was no mean kidnaping affair,
but one planned by one of Pinkerton's
best detectives and the parties con
cerned are people of wealth and fash
ion. Mrs. James Is well known here
and for months she has been at the
Battery Park hotel. Mrs. James was
seen this afternoon at her apartments
at the hotel just after she had return
ed from her unsuccessful pursuit of
her boy, and while reluctant to speak
until assured that the general clrcum.
stances were known, told In detail
a story of decided interest.

Atlanta Counterfeiters Waived Pre
liminary Trial.
Atlanta, Ga., August 24.—Os-
Rebb, J. N. Little and P. S. Ooffey, the
four men charged with counterfeiting,
waived a preliminary trial Tuesday
morning and were recommitted to jail
in default of bond. The bonds of
Little and Coffee were fixed at $5,000
each and those of McMichael and
Rebb at $3,000 each.
That was the criminal side of the
first arraignment of the men who were
bold and daring enough to make $30,-
000 worth of counterfeit money in the
very heart of Atlanta; but there was
a dramatic and pathetic side of the
Investigation, and a scene was enact
ed in the United States court room
Tuesday morning which made grown
men turn away to hide the tears that
filled their eyes.
When the lawyers had talked; when
the bonds had been fixed; when the
Iron cuffs were about to be placed
about the men’s wrists, old mothers,
young wives, sisters and brothers
crowded about tho railing to say a
word of goodby and give a parting
kiss.
Archie Koowevelt Say* III* Father
Kuotcm KiioiikIi Not to I,oae.
Archie Roosevelt, son of President
Roosevelt, was in Indianapolis an hour
or two tho other night en route to St.
Louis. As he stood at the gate en
trance awaiting his train's departure
some one asked him why his father
did not come with him, says the Cleve-
land. Plain Dealer.
“Because he Is too busy getting
ready to be the next president,” he re
plied.
A gentleman then said to him that
Parker would occupy the White House
after next March.
The boy laughed as he replied, “Well,
now, we have lived there for several
years, and I guess my pap knows
enough not to let Mr. Parker beat him
out this time.”

Object of Old Malda’ Club.
At the annual meeting of the Old
Maids’ league of Bristol, Wis., held the
other night, four of the leading young
women of the village were elected to
membership, says a Kenosha (Wis.)
dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Before they were s dmitted to the mys
teries of the organization each of the
girls was forced to tnke an oath that
she would use all honorable means to
become a wife during the next twelve
months. The girls initiated under this
original obligation were Misses Lulu
Rowbottom, Lydia Curtis and Jessie
and Jennie Garland. It Is claimed that
none of the girls is engaged to be mar
ried, but the work of the league has
been so successful in the past that
wagers of two to one are made that all
the girls will be married before the end
of the year.

several doses w-ere administered with
the result that the fellow- was able to

Took Morphine for Quinine and Came

Cordele, Ga., August 24.—Miss Ma
mie Lewis, the 13-year-old daughter
of John F. Lewis, who lives at the
corner of Eighth street and Eighth
avenue, was narrowly saved from
death this morning after having tak-
en between four and five grains of
mornhine.
She had been suffering from chills
and fever and mistook the morphine
for quinine, which she had been tak
ing. The error was discovered in
about 10 minutes by tho mother of the
young lady.
Dr. W. E. Edwards was hastily sum
moned and took heroic steps to save
her. She Is resting easily now and
