Historical Summary of Murder Trial & Aftermath: The evening after Police Chief Hennessy was shot, prior to his death that next morning in October of 1890, he was asked who shot him. He was reported to answer "a dago" (derogatory word used to describe an Italian day laborer). 19 randomly identified Italians, culled out of the several hundred picked up by a community dragnet, were indicted for murder. Nine were eventually tried, beginning in February of 1891. The trial marked a thirty year history of anti Italian sentiment resulting from heavy Italian immigration into the port city of New Orleans. The indicted Italians retained a highly paid legal team and known Hennessy enemy, private detective O'Malley. Six of the men were found innocent and a mistrial was declared for the remaining three men on March 13, 1891. Jury tampering, intimidation, and bribery were widely assumed to have influenced the verdicts. All the defendants were returned to prison in protective custody given the general dissatisfaction regarding the verdict, as well as some additional outstanding indictments. The very next day on March 14, 1891, the mass lynching was meted out by the extraordinarily large vigilante mob. Eleven southern Italian men were lynched and killed; yet, never found guilty by a jury of any crime. During the 1890s Italian Americans were subject to similar vigilante mob violence six times; half of those occurring in Louisiana. A US federal grand jury investigation of the lynching's found that the guilt was shared by the entire vigilante mob; thus the crime of perverted justice was excused and no one was held accountable. The United States, nor any of it's local governmental agencies, accepted any responsibility for the violence until Nola's Mayor apologized 128 years after the fact. Yet President Harrison ultimately paid reparations of $25,000 to the Italian government, only after the Italians severed diplomatic relations with talk of resulting potential war.
