A LOMBARD MARTYR . Private letters supply some interesting particulars respecting Chiesa , the Milanese workman , who was shot the other day at Milan by Radetzky ' s butchers , on the charge of distributing revolutionary papers . On his trial , Chiesa was asked , " Who gave you the writings to post } " He answered , " No one ; I composed them myself . " " Where did you get them printed r" " I printed them myself in my own dwelling . " " Where are your printing materials ? " " I do not know . " * * On his passage from the prison to the lace of punishment the confessor promised
p him immunity if he would make a revelation of his accomplices . Chiesa , who has left a wife and a daughter without means of support , constantly refused to purchase his life at the price of dishonour . He saluted , with a quiet and serene air the people ivho were near , and kneeling to receive his death , said in a loud voice , " My sacrifice is the sign of the comin ^ ruin of Austria . " He refused to let his eyes be bandaged , wishing to look his murderers to the last in the face . This political assassination , so atrocious in itself , was even consummated without legal forms ; for the officer who commanded the platoon charged
with the execution , having fallen down m a taint , could not give the signal ; and the soldiers fired without receiving orders . The following is still worse : — " The wife and daughter of Chiesa are in prison ; the Austrian judge leaves them ignorant of the death of their relative , and tries to wrest from them revelations of his accomplices by promising the pardon of the husband and father as a reward for their avowals . It is hoped by some charitable people , " for the detail is not true
sake of humanity , " that this last . But it is a proceeding too much in character with AustrianiBm for U 3 to have any doubt of its truth . Even the executioners desert the common foe . Chiesa was to have been hanged according to the sentence of the court-martial ; but the executioner of Bergamo refused his services . The executioner ( hatred to the foreign yoke is so deeply ingrained in the nation , that it has penetrated even to this most abhorred of its functionaries ) has been punished with death for his disobedience I
