KNIFE AVENGED HER
Italian Girl Tells Why She
Killed Uncle and Aunt.
MADE SLAVE AND DRUDGE
Gaetano Degraded Her and -Caused
Husband to Desert Her Voice
Whispered "Kill Him,"
and She Obeyed.
KEW YORK. May 22. Special.) Jose
phine Terranova, on the witness-stand in
her own behalf In her trial for the mur
der of her uncle and aunt, today told as
remarkable and at the same time as hor
rible a story as had ever been heard In
the Criminal Courts building;. Bhe re
vealed all. Only once did she hesitate,
and then, when ex-Judge Palmleri told
her she must tell everything, that she
need not feel ashamed, she laid bare the
whole story of abuse.
Beginning with her coming to this
country, she went on through the whole
chapter of horror, and. gaining courage
with each utterance, held Judge and Jury
and spectators breathless as she recount
ed the wrongs headep upon her by the
man and woman she murdered. In good
English and in a clear, strong voice, she
tersely pictures the scene In the Reggio
house on the night she went there to
wipe out the stain on her life.
Graphic Story of Killing.
"Before I entered the house," she said,
"I crossed myself. The voice of God
told me to go In and kill. I went In."
And she smiled quietly. "I called my
uncle a traitor and I stabbed him. The
voice of God told me to stab any one
that came between my uncle and me.
My aunt came, and . 1 stabbed her."
Again the girl smiled.
"I hear the voice of God in my cell in
the Tombs," she went on. "I see the
face of my uncle In the stones of my cell.
He holds out his hands to me as if ask
ing me to forgive him. I hang my apron
over his face in the stones."
"I did not go to church or school," she
said, "for seven years after I came to
America. My uncle and aunt would not
let me. I wanted to go. 1 did everything
washing, scrubbing, everything and
sometimes there were 10. 11, 16 boarders
In the house."
"Do you remember one Winter morning
when you were about 11 and a half years
old?" she was asked.
The girl replied that she did. that her
aunt had taken her to the uncle's room
that day.
"That Is what I am on trial here about,"
(he added.
Story Makes Woman Faint.
As the girl told of her uncle's treatment,
a woman spectator fainted and the court
proceedings were interrupted by the re
sulting commotion. The girl hesitated In
giving her testimony, saying she was
ashamed to speak it.
She said her aunt had forced her to
obey her uncle and had beaten her, break
ing a stick during one of the whippings
and making the witness so sick that she
went to bed.
The girl said that she was never per
mitted to play with other children and
was forbidden to talk English or asso
ciate with the boarders in the house. She
said she wanted to go to her mother, but
was not permitted to.
The wlUieus said her husband was led to
suspect what her relations with her uncle
had been ebcause of a remark which the
latter made. 9he declared that her un
cle's mistreatment covered a period of
about six years, and that it continued up
to and including the night after her civil
marriage to Terranova.
Voice Said "Kill Him." V
She told of the circumstances which led
her to kill her uncle, Gaetano, and her
aunt, Oonetta. She said that her husband,
after listening to her confession, told her
she was no longer his wife and thereupon
left her.
She remained alone during the following
ten days, subject, she said, to the Influence
of hallucinations in which htr uncle ap
peared. Whenever he appeared a voice
said:
"Kill him."
Each night, the witness continued, she
would dream or imagine that she was in
the presence of God and there again she
would hear the words:
"Kill your uncle."
At the end of ten days, the girl said, she
wen to her mother's house and was turned
away. Then the mysterious voice became
more Insistent, and their directions more
pointed, telling her to buy a knife and re
volver and kill. When armed and on her
way to their house for this purpose, she
said, she had crossed herself three times
and prayed to know whether she was
doing right. She confronted her uncle,
calling him "traitor." and h ereplled:
"You are an outcast."
Began to Stab When Aunt Came.
She remembered little of her attack, but
asserted that she began to stab when her
aunt came between her and Gaetano. 9he
did not remember which one she struck
first.
Under cross-examination by Assistant
IMstrlct Attorney Blie, the witness said
that she had been unable to run away
from her uncle's treatment, as she desireil
to. Her aunt, she said, had told her that
there was ne harm in her relations with
Gaetano.
The trial was adjourned until tomorrow.
GREAT PAINTER DROWNED
Mulvaney, Famous for "Custer's
Last Stand," Found in River.
NEW YORK. May 22.-Papers found to
day on the body of a man taken yesterday
from East River, led to the belief that the
body Is that of John Mulvaney, the paint
er of "Custer's Last Stand." a picture
which has been exhibited in every large
city in the United States. Some of the
letters bore the names and address. "John
Mulvaney, Brooklyn." Several of the let
ters contained references to "Custer's
Last Stand."
The body was positively Identified as
that of the painter by his sister. Mrs.
Alice Muldoon. Mulvaney. according to
his sister, had been missing from his
home in Brookyn since May 1.
POLICE GUARD FUNERALS
Dead Xcw Yorkers Have Troublous
Journey to Grave.
NEW YORK, May 22. Though there
appeared to be a tendency on the part
of the coachowners to get together
and try to settle in a body with the
funeral coachdrivers who are on strike,
the officers of the latter met yester
day and decided to have no collective
settlement.
A number of funerals were held up,
but most of the large concerns post
poned funerals, where possible. The
undertaker usually drove the hearses
In cases of funerals. It was next to
impossible to get drivers for pleasure
parties. The officers of the union re
ported last evening that 20 out of 35
employers had settled with the union
Individually. The officers of the union
stopped one funeral and ordered the
drivers to dismount, which they did. A
fight seemed Imminent when the police
Interfered and the funeral proceeded.
Four funerals conducted by a Hebrew
charitable organization had policemen
beside the drivers.
Carpenters Broke Contract.
NEW YORK, May 22. Supreme Court
Justice William J. Gaynor. of Brooklyn,
yesterday submitted his decision as arbi
trator of the differences between the Mas
ter Carpenters' Association and the Joint
District Council of Greater New York,
which two weeks ago resulted In a strike
of the carpenters in the Borough of Brook
lyn. He finds that the action of the
strikers was unjustified, being in violation
of their written agreement. He holds that
the present scale of wages must remain
In force until July 1, which was the date
fixed for the increase of wages In all the
boroughs. -

VIENNA. May 22. According to. the
Zeit, Lieutenant-General Palatzyn, chief
of the Russian General Staff, is coming
to Vienna In June to study the organisa
tion of the Austro-Hungarian army. The
newspaper goes on to connect this visit
with that of Lieutenant-General Count
von Moltke, chief of the General Staff of
the German army, end suggests that It Is
highly important as pointing to a mili
tary convention among Russia, Germany
and Austria, from which Italy will be
excluded. .
The Zeit adds that the subjefct probably
will be discussed during Emperor Wil
liam's approaching visit to Emperor
Francis Joseph.
In official quarters all knowledge is
denied of General Palatiyn's visit, and It
Is suggested that the report emanates
from German sources.
GLAD PEACE IS RESTORED
Kmperor-King Speaks to Hungarian
Diet on Recent Crisis.
, BUDAPEST. Hungary, May 22. The
Hungarian Parliament was formally
opened at the royal castle today by the
Emperor-King. Francis Joseph, who In a
speech from the throne bade the deputies
a hearty welcome, and expressed his keen
thankfulness that the misunderstandings
had passed away.
"It Is painful to our paternal heart," he
said, "to look back on the events of the
recent past "which disturbed the orderly
course of constitutional life. We are
thankful to Divine Providence that, fol
lowing the desire freely expressed, the
disastrous misunderstanding has van
ished, and It is our ardently cherished
wish that the constitutional co-operation
of all the legislative factors may remain
undisturbed in the future."
After enumerating the measures which
are to be presented for the consideration
of the new Parliament, the speech de
clared that, although close relations exist
with the country's allies, aiming at the
maintenance of peace, and in spite of the
friendly ties with other foreign powers,
which afford a guarantee of peace, provi
sion must be made for the defensive
power of the country, and therefore an
extraordinary contingent of recruits must
be supplied and equipped in accordance
with the rule followed by the previous
delegation.
The speech also announced that after
the question of electoral reforms has been
settled, a new Parliament will be sum
moned. POPE PICS LAl'GHS AT DEATH
