Such acts and conduct go to show that the
community there do not desire to have crmi-
nails punished;tft shows that the Parishes and
Potter were murdered by counsel, that it was
done by authority; the testimony goes to show
that the persons engaged in committing these
murders are officers in that community, police
men, and that they have since been promoted
for committing these hellish crimes.
