made by George Landreth that Friday the 3oth Of

by D. Allen in the language follows that, if
said deponent did then and there give tetm ony open

deponent from giving evidence in said case Deponent
further that the said Y D. Allen has at various times
used insulting language and menaces to deponent and
other persons in the absence of deponent Whereupon
said George Landreh prays that said Young Allen be
arrested and dealt with according to law.
This is phase of an old that years
ago in Holmes county, Mississippi.
1t appears that Young D. Allen indicted years since
in said county of Holmes for stealing. and that
pending the indictment Allen travelled beyond the juris
dction of the Court and failed to trial He sub
sequenty became domiced in the city of Lafayette now

The cause came on for trial and Allen found in the

Of an unsuccessful prosecution and dngy with the smoke
Of unextngushabe wrath Allen fastened back TO the
Crescent City and there entered suit for kidnapping and
damages against Capt Forno of the Police for forciby
galanng him to Holmes county aforesaid This suit
like the candidacy for Congress fell through for want Of
perseverance on the part of the fugacious Allen.
Afterwards, to witt in legal lingo the day of

good name IN the Holnes county Circuit Court against
James Sample ct al for setting foot the prosec lon in
the scandaous case aforesaid and for rep aration
