Particulars CONCERNING THE IATl
DuEL-The St9ricing PriaciPd' Release
on $4,000 Bonds. Mr.. J. S. Bossicr, thu
surviving principal of last Saturdays duel
was yesterday arraignad before the Second
I District Recorders Court, Acting Recorder
SturCken on the bench The following
named parties, surgeons, seconds and par
ticipators, were also arraigned at the same
time: Messrs. Y. Labatut, Charles Forstall
z. Massel, L. Schmidt, and Drs. Rance
and Beriat, and were finally discharged
each furnishing bonds in $500. Mr.. Bossiol
was released on furnishing $4,000 bail, which
was promptly given.
The reason given is, that the ducliwu,
fought in the parish Of st. Bernard, hence
no Recorderor Chief of Police of this par
ish has the power to hold the accused &c
account for the crime. Had the Court Z
right to demand bond it had right to hold
the accused.
The Courtroom was densely packed with
persons gathered there simply from motives
of curiosity. Several attorneys appeared
for accused, and were active and energetic
in their demands for release of the prisoners.
We give voluntary statement made by
Mr.. Bossier, which appeared in last even.
ings Times:
Mr. Laresche and myself were personal
friends. We had drank together and loaned
each other money. | was the officer en-
gagged in the case for Sambola at the time
the difficulty occurred in Montamats court.
After words had passed, which have already
been spoken of in print, Dir. Lareschc said
Nou must not put on such airs with me
You and your family are nothing but cow
ards. If it was not in open court would
slap your face 1t had become quarrel,
and replied to him in the same spirit.
After some other remarks he went down
stairs. followed him, and there told him
that | would not serve some interrOgatorie5
that he had placed in my hands after what
had passed, and that our friendship ended
from that date. Then told him that he
would shortly hear from me. | then
Immediately went TO a young friend who de-
clined acting, because he did not under
stand the laws of the duello. About ten or
fifteen minutes after the first difficulty
passed before LaresChe's Office. He was
then sitting on the pavement in chair
which turned on pivot. As | passed he
looked at me with an expression VIII iCh
made me more angry than before. / then
