verdict used the words "in selEdefence p but that
the jurors who were respectable citizens and proper
ty.hoders of the Third District refused to sign un
less the phrase were 80 amended to read "n legi
innate seifdelence."
As soon as the verdict was rendered the Coroner
signifed to Recorder Long that he had no affidavit
to make in the case the terms Of the verdict Of the
jury precluding any necessity Of an afdvavit; and
he discharged Cambre, 50 far as be was concerned.
There being no police charge against Cambre-Maz-
erat, to whom he had surrendered, simply entering
on the book the fact Of bis surrender with bis state
ment that he had killed man in self.defence-the
Recorder had no charge Of any kind upon which to
hold Cambre for prosecution and after proper de-
liberation, ordered bis discharge. Cambre was then
carried to his residence down Greatmen street. His
wound is not pronounced dangerous though it let out
much blood, and will take long time to heal
The Louisiana Ball Room, we will mention for the
information Of our readers who may not know much
about it, is resort for disreputable females and
sailors, and such other wandering homos as have no
moral character to lose; of those places which
have established themselves permanencies in all
maritime Cities and which is permitted to exist only
under the most stringent police regulations and with
the consent Of sach respectable people as may reside
in the neighborhood. Men most noted for their
cool courage, physical strength and police experience
generally selected to preserve the peace at such
places, and Cambre was employed as commissary of
the Louisiana Ball for bis possession Of all the above
qualifications.
Every one visiting the Louisiana Ball is felt and
searched for weapons, by an officer specially EN-.
ployed for that duty, weapons of any kind being
| allowed in the room. How Suarez got in with his
| razor is mystery which the examining officer alone
can explain, if anybody.
The cause of suarezs bloody attempt upon Cam
bre is another mystery. suarez was comparative
stranger here, having arrived from Mexico about six
weeks ago. for which country he had left Havana on
account of some misdemeanor. He was young and
handsome man, about Is years of age, by trade a
| cigarmaker, and during his residence here worked
with q manufacturer near the corner of Union and
Goodchildren streets. We have not been able to dis
cover whether Cambre knew Suarez or not. His EN-.
ployer visited the lookup whilst the body was there
to get key Of his out Of his pocket and in reply te
questions by Mr.. Larose, said that he knew the de
ceased to be desperate and dangerous man, partcu
lary whilst in liquor but was not able to throw
any light upon the motive Of his attempted assassna
tion OF Cambre.
