the Democrats that the law should bc en-.
forced, that the courts should be open, and
that fair and impartial action OF the
courts s!lould not be INSTRUCTED, ami now
they oppose q measure which looked 10 a
proper administration of justice III TINS
case. He hoped there would not he a soil
tary Senator who would wish to place nm
self ON record as being against this bill
Mr. Hunaaker said that he desired to ex-
plain away wrong impression that eVi-
IDENTITY rested on the minds OF some Sena-
tors. He said that the same District Judge
attended the District Court in both par
ishes that it was not his desire to move the
parties away from the jurisdiction OF the
judge, but simply 10 move them to another
community.
Mr.. lngraham said he lad been credibly
informed by some members OF the lower
House that there existed very excltcG
state OF feeling in the parish OF Ascension
against these prlsOners now charged with
murder. and that the feeling was so bitter
between the friends of each side that II
might possibly lead 70 bloOdshcd.
The rules were then suspended, AMI the
bill was read second time.
A motion being made to pass the bill to
its third and final reading
Mr.. Smith said: am willing to do every
thing in this case that can to have these
accused parties fairly and impartially tried.
If they are innocent, l wish TO see them
acquitted; and ii they are guilty, wish to
see them hung. But | would like to hear
some other reason than has been given why
they should be tried III the parish Of st.
James. Are the citizens Of that parish
more educated or more competent to SIT rs
jurynen than the citizens OF Ouscr parishes:
do not think they are, and would like to
hear soMe good Reasons why the change
Of venue should not I've made to the parish
OF ST. Charles OF St. John the Baptist both
Of which parishes are N the saIEe district
As to the remarks OF the gentleman i'll refer
| cnce to all the witnesses being III
st. James parish, l think that is
a very frivolous argument. 1t these
witnesses have no means to go to another
parish to attend til. Trial, the Sheriff can
very easily find means 20 get them there.
There ~ always way to accomplish these
things. am willing to see this case trans.
ferreG TO any parish where there is no
feeling either for or against the parties. and
where the trial may be fair and impartial.
think the reason given by the gentleman
for not doing so is not sufficient. l am not
particular in what parish they are tried.
outside of the parish Of st. James. ] do
not wish to see them taken to place
favor.
The Senate refused 10 suspend the'rule..
and thea adjourned.
