The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1869-08-15


The stranger, who accompanied the party TO
make the arrest, was II magistrate from dis
tant part of tho county, q friend OF Peppers,
who had been selected for the purpose because
he was personally unknown to Pincher This
gentleman now Issued n warrant, on PeihGnt
examinations, and committed johnson to the
custody of u constable.
| When Pincher returned with cart to carry
OFT the dead body, rs he expected. to do, he
found no trace of it, or of tho persons left in
charge. The hospital, of which Johnson be-
came an inmate, was in another county, and
Pepper had him entered III u false name. As
the men who so unseasonably came up, at the
time of the intended murder, had not since APP
peared to give an accountof how they disposed
of the dead man. to claim any reward for
their services, he concluded that they must
have been travellers who passed on. He there
fore patiently awaited the result.
In due time, before the opening of the COM
mission, Pepper sent " clerk to the jail, with
subpoena, to enforce Browns attendance as q
witness at the trial, who to his establishment,
found that the debt having been paid at a late
hour two nil gifts before, had-beeR discharged
and departed with the friend who released
him. On seeking Leonard for the same pur-
pose, 1T was discovered that he, too, had disup-
peared." Pepper was in an agOny-the trial
was fixed for the first day of the assizes, and
his most important witnesses had either gone
over TO the enemy, or been removed; now, or
where to, no one could tell.
There was evident alarm manifested by Pen
nanis friends, who were unwearicd in their
exertions to hunt up the deSerteTs, while
IlncneF and MS adnerentS assumed aA air OF
contideace and security. The latter believed
their cause made perfectly safe, for Lcenards
whom they most dreaded, now proved himself
so devoted to the service of his quonGmn OPP
pressor, that he was one OF the persons cln-
ployed in the abduetion of Brown aud his most
trusted guardian In the temporary confinement
to which he was consigned. LeouaTd unceas-
ingly employed his e1oquenee in convincing
