to be able to take care of himself. Witness
saw the parties for distance off of forty
feet and would have seen any blows dealt il
given during that time. Witness identifies
officer Lechzinsky as the officer making the
arrest.
Charles MObery-Resides at No. 1873 Vic
tory street. The deceased left the house Of
witness at nine o'clock that night. Hansen
was not an habitual drunkard nor a hard
drinker, but was slightly intoxicated OH the
night he was killed.
Officer Jacob Schott-On the night in
question was on the Victory street beat
saw deceased on Monday night, at half-past
| ten o'clock, in DiXon's saloon, on Victory
street; witness was in back room taking q
drink with Mr. Dixon. When deceased came
III he asked for a drink and asked for Dixon
| Dixon told witness that Hansen was drunk
| anu he didn't want to be seen by him. Wit.
ness went out, and the next he saw OF
Hansen he was lying down drunk in front
OF Mobery's boarding house. Witness and a
young man named Miller attempted to put
| him in the alley way: Hansen wanted an
other drink; he having got up and taken a
! seat witness went away, but was a short
| time thereafter ordered by his sergeant to
! arrest the man. but finding Hansen Oh his
! feet did not arrest him. About five minutes
thereafter Hansen was talking to LechZin-
! ski at the corner of Frenchmen and Victory
The balance of the testimony does not in
clnde anything relative to the arrest which
was made out of his presence, and he did
not see the deceased until he was picked I'D
by himself and officers LechZinski, Gatirey
and Jourdan, and taken to the station.
Officer JOurdan-While on his beat at the
corner of Moreau and Elysian Fields, heard
the noise on Frenchmen: two men passed
his beat: paid no attention. then heard the
call rap: ran to answer and saw u man run
toward him pursued by Officer Lechzinski,
who tripped him; the man fell and Leclzin-
ski struck him on the abdomen with his club
once; the man got up and Lechzinski asked
witness for his nippers because the man
was desperate IMAM; the man then fell
again: Hansen received his cut over the eye
when he was tripped by Lechzinski; he then
assisted to take the deceased to the station:
deceased was running toward witness in the
middle of the street when he was tripped;
after being tripped, he went toward the
gutter, fell, and washed the wound on mis-
forehead; can not say whether he was then
held by anybody; deceased appeared to be
in dying condition before was asked for
the nippers, for he never spoke afterward:
saw nothing done by Hansen while he was
lying down to justify Lechzinski in striking
him with his club; he was trying to roll
over when the clubbing took place; witness
wss within two feet of the deceased.
Mesdames Doiliet, Ulm and Dixon, and
Messrs. Geuvens and SchOenstein testified,
but their evidence simply cOrrOborated the
statements of the above witnesses, in part.
The inquest is not completed. as there are
other witnesses to be brought forward.
AN OLD ORDiEASCE REvIVED.--Superin-
tendent Vigcrs has revived an old ordi-
nance, and perhaps good one, relative to
fencing in city lots. This official has made
charges against several citizens, who have
failed to conform to the law, in the Second
District The ordinance reads as follows:
ARTICLE SAC. In all cases where ban
quettes or sidewalks are made III front OF or
bordering any lot or lots of ground within
this city, it shall he the duty of the owner
or owners of such lots to cause the same to
be fenced with good, substantial picket or
board fences, SO as to protect said sidewalks.
Article 347 makes it the duty of the Street
Commissioner to notify the owners or their
agents OF such lots, when this resolution
has not been complied with and in case OF
them not complying with said article, a fine
OF ten dollars for every ten days after, after
due notice has been given. will be imposed.
TRUE BILLs.-One day last week we were
informed that the Grand Jury had found
tlsle bills against Ellen Follin, George Blass
and Louisa Murray, for kidnapping Mr..
Digby's. child. We did not give publicity
to the statement simply because the fact, il
fact it was, was not properly subject to be
made public just then. 1t is now no secret.
and therefore our readers are informed that
such is the truth.
APPARENTLY THEY Dos'r LIKE Him.
Judge Semmes yesterday filed the follow
ing in the Criminal Court, and it speaks for
itself. When such extreme measures are
taken, surely there must exist grave cause
for action:
The State VS.. Albert Pusk-First District
Court on appeal Supreme Court.-On motion
OF A. G. Senlmes, counsel Tor Albert Push,
defendant in this case, it is ordered that
William L. Thompson show cause. at ten
o'clock, on Saturday, October l, by what
authority he appears in this court as counsel
for the defendant.
On further motion it is ordered that the
said Thompson show cause, at the time
above stated, why his name should not be
stricken from the roll Of this court as a
member of the bar, for dishonorable and
unprofessional conduct in this, that
the said Thompson. some day or two
ago, called on the said defendant,
at the Parish Prison, and then and
there wifully and falsely represented to
said defendant that his counsel, who then
and now has his case in charge, had aban-
doned the same, and had declared that he
would no longer continue as such counsel;
the said Thompson further representing
that if said defendant would employ him, he
would procure the immediate discharge Of
defendant by rule of habeas corpus before
the Supreme Court of this State.
And that by reason thereof said wilfull,
false and corrupt representations. said de-
PENDANT was induced to employ said Thomp-
son to act as his (defcndant's) attorney, and
the said Thompson now assumes to act i'll
and control said case against the wish and
protest of said defendant. All of which
will appear by annexed document made
part thereof.
The rule is made returnable Saturday
next.
This Thompson is the one who induced
Governor Warmoth to pardon Pierre Ber-
tin. Oh papers that were, in most part,
forgeries. Perhaps that little fact has
to do with the above.
BRIEF MENTIoN.-The police last evening
pulled Henry, Petrie, just out OF lodge near
Congo Square. The long charge is opposite
his name.
A confidence man conjured ninety dol
lars out of a passenger on the steamer
and that is all about it.
