A gentlemanly young man named

haven, Miss, in the early part Of the
week, by two police officers Of New Or
leans, and brought to that city, III the
charge of Murder.
Il appears that in Lafayette parish,
Attgkapas, in this State, some seven
years since, there resided. and resides
stiil, two families uf much wealth, be
tween whom ,here had existed Il long
standing luminosity, arising from sgl.c
cause or other. The anne Of those ia
miles were NALLor and DTEEz. \ son
Of the latter and a younger brother of the
accused, became rivals for the hand Of
a young and beautiful lady. One day
they met and Ditrez slapped young Val

:ne face. His brother Naliror, hearing
Of i. went at once TO a cofcy-housc IL

you have only stunned him Where
upon the elder stopped down, felt his en-
envy, and finding he had ceased to
breathe, said, NO! have killed him!'
The two brothers at once left the IA
tai spot, no one endeavoring to detain
them. They proceeded home, and
Valleor, who was then about q years Of
age and married, got several thousand
dollars from his father, and, with his
wife, at once left for Havana. In that
city they remained several years. Vallot
had acquired the Spanish language to
the perfection Of 4 Cuban and had been
appointed to a lucrative Office under
Government His wife was an educa-
ted and accomplished lady, and they
both moved in the highest circles. Be
coming acquainted with 4 young Span
ish noblcman, an affection sprang up
between himself, and Vallot and the
young nobleman presented ValIor with
a magnificent ivory walking cane, the
head of which was deliberately worked
with gold, with a diamond in the cen
tire. Mention is made of this incident,
as it was the cane that led TO his arrest.
Fallot being tired Of his Punishment,
and thinking that he might live in safe
~ i'll some out Of the way spot in his
own country, where he could occasion
ally sec his relatives, he left Havana,
and landedin New Orleans in the spring
If last year. He sought an humble
boarding house, as a better security
from being recognized, at the Church
Cofee-house" near Poydras market, kept
by one Jean Marie. Here he met his
father and others, and eventually loca-
ted at ~Brookhayen, on the jackson Rail
road, frequently coming to New Or
leans however, and stopping with Jean
Marie. On onc of these occasions he
lost $500 with Jean at poker, and being
IN want of the money he borrowed it
back. subsequently, he paid the mo-
ney back 20 Jean, all but about S34, and
left his splendid cane as security for the
balance. When he afterwards offered
the $34 and demanded the cane, Jean
said that he had given him the cane for
the balance Of the money and he refu-
scd to return it. On application to the
Police, however, Vallot got his cane
but as he left, he heard Jean remark
"You shall remember this, Vallot.n We
forgot TO state, however, that on one oc-
casion two police officers came into Ma
