(Maggio's bond was placed at $10,000, which he, of course, could furnish. His offense against the government of the United States, as charged in the warrants of arrest, is conspiracy to murder President McKinley, etc.

Through the courtesy of United States Marshal Foraker, a Citizen representalive was granted the privilege of an interview with the now famous prisoner at the county jail this morning, and he answered every question put to him in good English. "What is your name?" was asked. "Antonio Maggio." "When were you born and when did you come to the United States?" "I was born at. Cepatu, a small town near Palermo, in Sicily, 25 years ago. Came to this country in 1892, starting first at New Orleans and then visited several towns in Louisiana, being with Andrew Showers' small circus one season as a musician, Went to St.

Louis and thence to Chicago, where I a musician in Thomas Day's show. I then was left for Omaha and during the transMississippi exposition was a member of Hagenbach's wild animal show band. Left Omaha and -at Carbondale, joined the Great Mastodon minstrels as musician, staying with the minstrels several months. I then went to Kansas City and was again with Hagenbach during the winter. I also followed barbering at Kansas City.

After this I joined the band at the National military home of Kansas, where I was for about a year. Joined the Andrews opera company at Leavenworth last winter and last February was discharged from the company at Silver City owing to some disagreement between myself and the manager. Since then I have been living first at Silver City and then at Santa Rita, playing in good saloons and following the trade of a barber." "It is stated that you prophesied the death of President McKinley; in fact, told certain parties that you knew he would be killed before October of this year. Will you deny or confirm the statements:" was asked. "I the statements.

I never told any person that President McKinley would be shot, and was surprised when the deed was I have told many people that I am an anarchist, not against United States, but against Italy. this country a person can get enough for his labor to live upon, but in Italy he is starving all the time he is at work. I make from $2 to $3 per day here, while in Italy I could only make a few cents a day, and this, coupled with the privations and hardships heaped upon the poor class of Italy has made me an anarchist against my own country. I am in favor of a revolution in Italy and with anarchy against the crowned heads, but not against the United States. am a regular subscriber of the anarchist papers La Questione Sociale, published at Paterson, N.

and Laurora, and at Spring Valley, but these papers don't advocate anarchy in the United States, but they do for certain old tries, especially Italy. Even when I asked for my passport to come to this country the Italian government gave it to me with the understanding that when I became 21 years of age I should return to Italy and serve the allotted time in the army of that country at about 2 cents per day." Maggio stated that his mother, brother and sister would sail from Palermo, Sicily, on Sept. 21 or Oct. 1, for this country, and would be landed at New Orleans. They would first visit his brother Rosario Maggio, at Baton Rouge, Miss, and then come to New Mexico.

He also has a brother, Frank Maggio, at Leavenworth, Kan. All the boys are barbers, musicians, and anarchists. He stated that he belongs to no society, but believes in the principles of anarchy, because something must be done in the old countries to correet the evils against the poor classes.
