Schumacher was received and read:
| To the Honorable Speaker and Members OF the
| House of Representatives.:
The memorial! of F. Schumacher, duly
elected member of the House of Representa-
tives from the Third District of the parish
OF Orleans, respectfully represents that he
was expelled from the floor of the House
during time of great political excitement
for alleged misconduct; that no opportunity
was afforded him to explain or defend the
course he had taken, which he believed was
susceptible of an entirely different construc-
ton than that placed upon it by your hon
orable body. He therefore prays that he
NAV be permitted TO appear either before
the House. or a proper committee Thereon,
there to be heard through himself and wit
nesses, that the House may be enlightened
as to the true state of facts in his case, and
take such further action in his premises as
NAV seem to your honorable body both
Just and equitable.
Respectfully,
+. SCHUMACHER.
