FROM NEW ORLEANS.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 21.-The city papers, for some
time past have been ventillatng the fact that the
State was being defrauded out of money amounting in
the aggregate to several hundred thousand dollars,
under the color of law for relief of veterans of 1914
and 1875 the general impression being that there
were not 100 of this class living. In regard to this
matter, Judge Abel of First District Criminal Court,
yesterday assembled, formed jury and delivered a
lengthy charge. The following is an extract: have
felt it my duty to call you together in this summary
to check and finally stop, if possible, one of
the most daring and successful frauds that has
been perpetrated upon the State Treasury and this
accomplished by wholesale perjury, and subornaton
of perjury and it is believed by the completely of off
cials in position.
He states that he alludes to the false corrupt
and fraudulent obtaining of warrants upon the treas
ury by virtue of an act of the General Assembly, ap-
proved in 1861 for the relief of veterans who served
under General Jackson at the battle Of New Orleans
