His look was hard, yet' regretful.
4 ‘For your sake 1 would give my life
gladly,” he said, “but there are times
when one must act his destined part.
That verdict holds me * uty to the pub
lic as a perjurer, but 'that is a small
matter. Oh, I have had my scruples. 1
have Questioned my conscience, and
deep in my heart I see that there is
only one way. I’d be a hypocrite if 1
denied it. I’m wrong, perhaps, but I
can’t be untrue to myself.”
"We know but a part of the truth,” .
she urged desperately. “God alone j
knows it all. You saw three men— |
there are others whom you did not .
see.”
‘‘They were seen by other eyes, quite \
as trustworthy as mine.”
ohe wrung her hands miserably, cry
ing:
“But wait! Guilty or innocent, they
have appeared in judgment and the
lawr has acquitted them. You urge
upon the people now a crime greater
than theirs. Two wrongs do not make
a right. Who are you to raise your
self above that power which is su
preme?”
“There is a law higher than the
courts.”
“Yes, one; the law of God. If our
human agency has, failed, leave their
punishment to Him.”
He shook his head, no trace of yield
ing in his eyes.
“One man was killed and yet you
contemplate the death of eleven.”
“Listen,” he cried; “this cause be* v
longs to the people w’ho have seen their
sacred institutions debauched. If I
had the power to sway the citizens of
New Orleans from the course which 1
believe they contemplate 1 doubt that 1
would bring myself to exercise it, for
it is plain that the Mafia must be ex
terminated. The good of the city, the
safety of all of us demands it.” He
regarded her Curiously. “Do you real
ise what Maruffl’s freedom w’ould
mean to you and Ollveta?”
“We are in God’s hands.”
♦‘It would require a miracle to save
you. Caesar would have my life, too.
he told me as much, with his eyes,
when that corrupted jury lifted the
fear of death from his heart.”
“So!** cried the girl. “You fear him,
therefore you take this means of de
stroying him! You goad the public
and your friends into red rage, and
send them to murder your enemy.”
Her hysteria was not proof against the
look which leaped into his eyes—the pal
lor that left him facing her with the
visage of a sick man.
“During the last five years,” he said
slowly, “I’ve often tried to be a man, but
never until last night have I succeeded
fully. When I signed that call to arms
I felt that I was writing Maruffl’s death
warrant. I hesitated for a time, then
I put aside all thoughts of myself and

—my world—knows that Maruffl’s life or
mine hinges on his liberty; if he dies
by the mob today, that world will call
me coward for my a^t; it will say I
roused the passions of the populace to
save myself. Nevertheless, I was chosen
leader of that committee and I did their
will—as I shall do the will of the peo
ple.”
“The will of the people! You know very
well that tlje people have no will. They
do what their leaders tell them.”
“My name is written. I am sorry that
I cannot do as you wish.”
“But surely you do not deceive your
self,” she insisted. “This is wrong; oh,
so inconceivably, so terribly wrong! You
do not possess the divine powers to be
stow life. Then how can you dare to
take! By what conceivable authority do
you decree the destruction of your fel
low men whom the law has adjudged in
nocent?”
“By the sovereign authority of the pub
lic good. By the inherited rlight of self
protection.”
‘You ■ would shoot them down, like
caged animals!”
"Those eleven individuals have ceased
to exist as men. They represent an in
fection, a diseased spot which must be
cut out. They stand for disorder and
violence; to free them would be a crime,
to give them arms to defend themselves
would be merely to increase their evil.”
“Thre is a child among them, too;
would you have his death upon your con
science?”
“I told Gino he should come i to no
harm, and, God willing, he shan’t.”
“How can you hope to stem the rag©
of a thousand madmen? A mob will stop
at no half measures. There are two
men among the prisoners who ar£ en
titled to another trial. Do you think
the people will spare them if they take
the others?” He shrrugged his shoulders
doubtfully and she shuddered.
“You shall riot have the death of
those defenseless men upon your soul,”
she cried, “Your hands at least shall
remain clean.”
“Please don’t urge me’,” he said.
“But I do. I ask you to take no part
in this barbarous uprising.”
“And I must refuse you.”
She looked at him wildly; her face
was ashen as she continued:
“You have said that you love me.
Can’t you make this sacrifice for me?
Can’t you make this concession to my
fears, my conscience, my beliefs? I
am only a woman and I cannot face
this grim and awful thing. I cannot
think of your part in it.”
The look she gave him went to h!s
heart.
“Margherita!” he cried, in torture.
“Don’t you see I have no choice? I
couldn’t yield, even if the price were
—you and your love. You wouldn’t rob
me of my manhood!”
“I could never touch hands which
were stained with the blood of defense
less men—not even in friendship, you
—understand?” \
“I understand!” For a second time
the color left his face.
Her glance wavered again; she sway
ed, then groped for the door, while he
stood like stone in his tracks.
“Goodby!” he said, lifelessly.
“Goodby!” she answered, in the same
tone. “I have done my part. You are
a man, and you must do. yours as you
see it. But may God save you from
bloodshed.” .
L9ng before the hour set for the
gathering at 'Clay Statue the streets m
that vicinity began to 'fill. Men con
tinued on past their places of business,
shops and offices remained closed, the
wide strip of neutral ground which di
vided the two sides of the city’s lead
ing thoroughfare began to pack. Around
the base of the monument groups or
citizens congregated until the cars were
forced to slow down and proceed witn
a clangor of gongs which served only
as a tocsin to draw more recruit®. Ve
hicles came tc a halt, were wedged
close, to the curbs and became coigns
of. vantage; office windows, store
fronts, balconies, and roof tops began
to cluster with a human freight.
After a week of wind and rain the
sun had risen in a sky that was cloud
less, save for a few thin streaks of
shining silver which resembled long
polished rapiers or the gleaming spear
points of a host still hidden below the
horizon. The fragrance of shrubs and
flowers, long dormant, weighted the
breeze. It was a glorious morning, fit
for love and laughter and little chil
dren.
Nor did the rapidly swelling assem
blage resemble In any measure a mob
bent upon violence; it was composed
mainly pf law-abiding business men who
greeted each other generally; in their
grave, intelligent faces was no hint of
savagery or brutality. All traffic finally
ceased, the entire neighborhood was
massed and clothed with waiting hu
manity; then, as the hour struck, a run
ning salvo of applause came from the
galleries, and a cheer from the street,
when a handful of men was seen crowd
ing its way up to the base of the statue,
it was composed of a half-dozen prom
inent men who had been identified with
the committees of justice; among them
was Norvin Blake. A hush followed as
one of them mounted the pedestal and
began to speak. He was recognized as
Judge Blackmar, a wealthy lawyer, and
his well-trained voice filled the wide
spaces from wall to wall; it went out
over the sea of heads and up to the
eroded roof-tops.
He told of the reasons which had in
spired this indignation meeting; he re
counted the history of the Mafia in
New Orleans, and recalled Its many out
rages, culminating in the assassination of
Chief Donnelly.
“Affairs have reached such a crisis,”
said he, “that we who live in an organ
ized and civilized community find our
laws ineffective and are forced to pro
tect ourselves as best we may. When
courts fail, the people must act. What
protection Is left us, when our highest
police official is slain in our very midst
by the Mafia, and his assassins* turned
loose upon us? This is not the first case
of wilful murder and supine justice—our
court records are full of similar ones.
time lias come to say whether we
shall tolerate these outrages further or
wt»ether we shall set aside the verdict
ot an infamous and perjured jury and
cleanse our city of the ghouls which
prey upon it. I N ask you to consider this
question fairly. You have been assem
bled, not behind closed doors, nor under
the cloak of darkness, but in the heart
ot the city, in the broad light of day,
tc take such action as honest men must
take to save their homes against a pub
lic enemy. What is your answer?”
A roar broke from all sides; an incoher
ent, wordless growing rumbled down tlu.
street. Those on the outskirts of the
assemblage who had come merely from
curiosity or in doubt that anything would
be accomplished began to press closer.
A restless murmur, broken by the
cries of excitable men, arose when the
second speaker took his place. Then as
he spoke the temper of the people be
gan to manifest itself undeniably. The
crowd swayed and cheered, certain de
mands were voiced insistently, a wave
of intense excitement swept it as it
h ard its desires so boldly proclaimed.
As the heaving sea is lashed to fury
by the wind, the people’s rage mount
ed higher with every sentence of the
orator; every pause was greeted with
howls. Men stared into the faces
around them and, seeing their own emo
tions mirrored there, were swept by an
ever-increasing agitation. There was a
general impulse to advance at once up
on the parish prison, and knots of strag
glers were already making in that di
rection, while down from the telegraph
poles, from roofs and shed-tops men
were descending. All that seemed lack
ing for a concerted movement was a
leader, a bold figure, a ringing voice to
set this army in motion.
Blake had been selected to make the
third address and to put the issue
squarely up to the people, but as he
wedged his way forward to enact his
role, up to the feet of the statue
squirmed and wriggled a figure which
assumed the place just vacated by the
second speaker.
It was Bernie Dreux, but a different
Bernie from the man his amazed friends
in the crowd thought they knew. He
was pale and his limbs shook under
him, but his eyes blazed with a fire
which brought a hush of attention to
all within sight of him. Up there
against the heroic figure of Henry Clay
he looked more diminutive, more insig
nificant than ever, but, oddly enough, he
had attained a sudden dignity which
made him seem intensely masterful and
alive. For a. moment he paused, erect
and motionless, surveying that restless
multitude which rocked and rumbled
for the distance of a full city square in
both directions, then he began. His
voice, though high pitched from emo
tion, was as clear and ringing as a
trumpet; it pierced to the farthest lim
its of the giant audience and stirred it
like a battle signal. The blood of his
forefathers had aw*akened at last, and
the old Geneal Dreux, the man of iron
and fire and passion, was speaking
through his son.
“People of New Orleans,” he cried.
“I desire neither fame,, nor name, nor
glory; I am here ti6i as one of the
committee qf public safety, but as a
plain citizen. Let me therefore speak
for you, let mine be the lips which
give your answer. Fifty of,",our trust
ed townsmen were appointed to assist
in bringing the murderers of Chief
Donnelly to justice. They told us to
wait .upon the law. We waited, and
the law failed. Our court and our jury
were debauched; our committee comes
back to us now, the source from which
it took its power, and acknowledges
that it can do no more. It lays the
matter in our hands and asks for our
decision. Let me deliver the message:
Justice must be done! Dan Donnelly
must be avenged today!”

Thaw Prefers Matteawan
to Great White Way of
New York,Now He Says
(By Associated Press.) x
NEW YORK, Jan. A—Harry Thaw is
credited with an emphatic "no” when
asked last night if he preferred to
spend the night in the city rather than
to return to his quarters in the Mattea
wan hospital for the insane.
Thaw was here to testify at the trial
of the suit brought against his mother
by John B. Gleason, an attorney in
Thaw's trial, for $80,000 counsel fees.
As the suit was not reached in court
yesterday, Thaw’s visit was a useless
one, but before returning to Matteawan
he was treated to a dinner in one
of the prominent cafes of Forty-second
street.
Although it was in wine dinners and
revelry along the great white way that
Thaw spent so much of his youth be
fore the slaying of Stanford White, he
met few* who recognized him. He was
much subdued and sobered and when
one of the men who had him in custody
asked him if he would care to stay
in New York at a fashionable hotel
overnight he replied firmly:
“No. I prefer to go back to Mat
teawan.”
He went back, but will probably re
turn again today.

(By Associated Press.)
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 4.—The appoint
ment of R. M. Johnston, president and
editor-in-chief of the Houston Post, as
successor to Joseph W. Bailey in the
United States senate for the term ex
piring March 4 next, was announced to
day by Governor Colquitt/
Colonel Johnston has been a supporter
of Senator Bailey throughout the bitter
political fights in Texas which for sev
eral years have centered about Senator
Bailey. ^ Colonel Johnston was for
twelve years Democratic national com
mitteeman for Texas, his service ending
last summer when the Texas primaries
turned in a landslide vote for Woodrow
Wilson as preferential presidential nom
inee. H e had supported Judson Harmon
and did not become a candidate \for na
tional committeeman.
The Texas legislature which selects’
Senator Bailey’s successor will convene
January 12 for a three months’ session.
Its members generally have announced
that they will heed the primary’s choice

E CONFAB SUSPENDED

Allied Delegates Observe Their
Christmas Day by Attend
ing Church-Peace in Sight
Couldn’t Baptize,
Thief Stole Robe
And Rubber Boots
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CORDELE, Ga., Jan. 8.—The large
congregation that h’ad assembled at the
First Baptist church in this city to
witness the ordinance of baptism to be
administered to some new members, was
startled when Rev. J. H. Coin, pastor,
announced that the new members would
not be baptized, for the reason that
some person had appropriated to his
own use, his rubber boots and baptismal
robe.
The applicants for baptism into the
church were ready, ar.u all other ar
rangements were made, when the pastor
found his robe and rubber boots were
miSBing, and at this time he announced
that the applicants would have to be
baptized some other time.
Mr. Coin is trying to locate the thief,
who went into the church and stole his
baptismal robe and rubber boots.
LONDON, Jan. 7.—There Is practi
cally no disposition in London to doubt
that as soon as the delegates /jf Bul
garia, Greece, Montenegro and Servia
have celebrated the orthodox Christ
mas holiday, the peace conference will
be resumed.
There is a deep-seated relutance
among all parties against the reopening
of hostilities, although threats of such
an eventuality are still uttered. At the
same time the powers are occupied in
offering friendly advice to the antag
onists and in the case should prove in
sufficient the ambassadors are seeking
for the best method of intervention.
Speculations concerning the method
of providing an issue from the present
deadlock are rife. It is asserted that
flRechad Pasha, the principal Turkish
delegate has telegraphed to Constanti
nople asking to reconvoke the confer
ence and may make some explanations
which he was prevented from giving
yesterday owing to the brusque suspen
sion of the session.
It is believed that the greatest ef
fort of the powers will be exercised at
Constantinople. If weeks elapse, how
ever, without the yielding of Adriano-
ple, the Bulgarian delegates declares,
it will be “General Safoff and cannon
who will speak.”
There were many exchanges of
Chrilstmas greetings this morning
among the allied delegates, all of
whom attended church services except
Count Vernovitch, the Montenegrin,
who is a Catholic.
Have You a Bad Liver?
Liver sufferers usually complain of a
fullness at the right side, a sense of
bloating, with a dull, heavy pain, and
often a disagreeable pain in the shoul
der joint. Skin is usually pale and
yellow, with puffs beneath the eyes,
tongue is coated and life is made mis
erable by headaches, bitter taste in the
mouth, fever, restlessness, constipation,
loss of appetite, etc. Bodi-Tone is
very successful in removing these and
other Liver symptoms because of its
special action in this important organ.

collie dog saved the lives of his two
masters, Louis and Samuel Salvarno,
ten and twelve yeqrs of age, respect

were attacked by the coyotes. The col

Masquerades as Girl
For Eighteen Years
Without Detection
(By Associated Press.)
VICTOR, Colo.; Jan. 8.—After mas
querading as a girl for eighteen years,
the sex of Irene Moynahan was learned
yesterday. He was arrested in Lajunta
by the sheriff who, because of his mas
culine appearance, decided he was a
boy in girl’s clothing. Irene was on
his way to visit his father in Bisbee,
Ariz.
Until the holidays Irene had been
a student in the Victor High school,
and all of his life had passed as a
girl.
Mrs. Moynahan, when told that her
son had been arrested and that his sex
had been discovered, stated that she had
always passed him off as a girl because
of her disappointment in having two
sons. Not even her husband was aware
of the boy’s sex, she said. This was

HUDSON RIVER IS TO
HAVE TWO’ MORE TUNNELS
(By Associated Press.)
HACKENSACK, N. J., Jan. 8.—The
much discussed project of a bridge
across the Hudson was revived at a
mass meeting 4iere last night, under
the auspices of several organizations
interested in the scheme. It was an
nounced that bearings were started in
the river bed and along shore yester
day to test foundation possibilities.
Plans were submitted for a span sus
pended from Fifty-seventh street, New
York to the Jersey shore—a span of
2,900 feet which would be tbe longest
in the world. The sum of $50,000,000
was the meaq of several estimates of
the cost.
Numerous engineers who have,favored
tunnels and in the light of success
with these have described bridges as
archaic,” opposed the bridge building,
declaring that two tunnels could be built
in three years at a cost of $11,000,000,
as compared with fifteen years, estimat
ed for the construction of the bridge.

jTo You Who Are Sick I Offer a Complete $2.50 Treatment Free
Let me say
right at the
start that no
money ia
asked or ex-
pec ted. I
make thi6
r e m arknble
offer of my
own free will
and accord.
I am finan
cially able
to do so. It
is my way—
the way I
have chosen
for doing
good — the
way I have
thought out
by which I
cun best
send help
and comfort,
health and
strength out
into this
world of so
much sick*
ness and
suffering, it
is for you to accept or refuse as you like.
It is for you to choose —whether your
trouble, with all its pain*, danger, fear and
uncertainty, shall continue—or whether it
shall be taken away. But in the choosing,
remember this—health was God’s most pre
cious gift to you, and it iJi as much your
duty to regain and keep it as to guard and
protect your life.
“What is my offer?” you ask. Listen.
In ray thirty years’ experience in medicine
I have learned many strange things. For
one thing I’ve learned that Heart Disease
kills more people every day than anything
else on earth. I've also learned that Heart
Disease hardly ever exists alone—by itself,
that other organs—Stomach, Bowels, Kid
neys. Liver, Lungs, etc., are almost always
affected, too. Why? Think for a minute
and you’ll answer the question yourself—
it's because the Heart is the VITAL organ
of the body—because it governs all the
other organs, supplies EVERY organ—every

nerve, muscle and tissue with blood and
LIFE and power to do their work.
Stop the Heart’s beat and death strikes
instantly. You know that. And let the
Heart get weak or wrong in any way and
the whole system—the whole body from Brain
to tiniest blood vessel suffers, too.
But you say “I haven’t any Heart trou
ble. MY Heart is all right.” Ah! But
lots of people think and sa^ tbe self-same
thing. Why, only a short time ago I had a
pitiful tear-stained letter from a little 11-
year-old girl down in Georgia telling me how
her mother fell dead before her with the little
baby in her arms. Now the woman thought
HER Heart was all right. She would not
believe me—even refused to take the treat
ment or heed the warning and the £ood ad
vice that I had sent her free.
Six persons in every ten have Heart Trou
ble, though many of them do not know
it. 30,000 victims die of it in America every
year. And so I say unless you are sure,
unless you KNOW, for Heaven’s sake don’t
take any more chances—just stop a bit right
here and find out for a certainty where you
stand.
HEART DISEASE SYMPTOMS.
are very plain when once they are known
and understood. The great trouble is that
most people don’t know what the symp
toms are—don’t know what they mean when
they have them. Auotber thing—a great
many people are misled and deceived Into
thinking their trouble is something else.
Thousands—perhaps you among them—are to
day doctoring the Stomach, Kidneys, Liver,
Nerves or Sexual Organs for some SUP
POSED trouble, when all the time it’s the
Heart causing it all. In other words, you
may be treating the symptoms and not the
disease itself.
Following are' the most common signs—
the really sure symptoms of Heart Disease.
Go over these CAREFULLY, one by oue, and
see if any are your symptoms. TLiat will
tell the story:
Do you tire easily?
Do you have headaches?
Does your Heart flutter?
Does it ever skip beats?
Do you start in yout sleep?
Are you short of breath?
Does your Heart palpitate!
Do you feel “weak” and run down?
Do you have numb or dizzy spells?
Do you have weak, sinking spells?
Are you nervous and irritable?
Do your feet, legs or ankles swell?
Does your Stomach have aa “all gone”
feeding ? — v
Do you have pain in Heart, tide or under
shoulder blade ?
Of course, no case has all—aome of the
very worst only a few. Therefore, if you
find that even one or two of them are
YOUR symptoms, you should act at once,
for you may lie in grave danger. You know
Heart Disease don’t wait. .It comes like a
thief, develops quickly, and strike* without
warning.
AND HERE IB MY OFFER.
If you have one of these symptoms; If
you have reason to think that you have even
the slightest Heart trouble or weakness, write
me now. I am confident I can help you.
Or, again, if you have known for some
time that yon have Heart trouble—eren
though your case is chronic, deep seated and
has resisted other treatment; even though you
may have been told that you cannot i>e
cured—I urge you all the more strongly to
write me at once—It is ih just sttth stubborn
and seemingly hopeless cases that our scien
tific, effective treatment has accomplished
most remarkable results.
The very day I hear from you I will ar
range to send you by mail postpaid and se
curely sealed—
A COMPLETE FREE TREATMENT.
for your case; a letter of advice explaining
your case fully. Also a Medical Book that
in plain words and with clear pictures tolls
all about your trouble, explains about your
Heart—what it does, how it works, and the
relation to all the rest of your body. The
book is valuable: do not lose sight of this
part of my offer—many people—among them
several physicians, say it’s the best book of
its kind ever written.
Remember it is all FREE—Tbe Book—The
Letter of Advice—The Full Course of Treat
ment. There are no “strings” to this offer.
Neither is it a C. D. I). scheme or anything
of the kind. I ask for no money—I send
you no medicine, expecting you to pay later.
You bind yourself in no way. It is nothing
but a genuine, generous, honest, free offer
to the sick. I am making this same offer
In some of the best papers in America 1mA
sides The Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal, be
cause it seems to me to 1* the best way to
quickly get advice and .help—*this certain ef
fective treatment into the hand# of every
sufferer—everywhere.
To the skeptical—the doubtera—tbe unbe
liever*—to those who think Heart trouble
can’t be cured—to those who forget that
science is advancing, I say for your own
good—yes, In simple fairness to yourself:
Don't g? m up—don’t fail to get out advice
and test our methods and treatment. It has
reached—t don’t mean just temporarily, but
lastingly—a legion of cases many of which
we»-*» believed hopeless.
I am particularly anxious to hear from
those who aren’t quite sure jpst what tbelf
trouble is—from those who are doctoring the
Stomach, Liver, Kidney, Nerves, etc., bqt
get little or no better. In nine out of ten such
oases the real trouble is with tlte Heart.
Anyway, yon will get the troth bere—you will
then know what to do.
The free course of treatment that we send
will strengthen and regulate the Heart.
It Will tone up the Stomach, Kidneys and
Liver. It will give strength and vitality to
the Nerves and Nerve Centers and build up
the whole system. Remember, I have given
years to the study of affections of the heart
and the various troubles which so often exist
with them.
It is my life work. And all the ex
perience I have gained—together with that of
the medical talent associated with me, is
yours gladly and freely just for the asking.
And so I say again, if yon do need this
help you’d bettor send right now\ for, of
course, I cannot continue to make this offer
indefinitely.
