this parish, had notified you that
nine murders had been committed in
Bossier parish within the last sixty
days, and that the condition of affairs
here was ofsuch nature as that the
Sheriff required assistance from YOU
and the public, beyond what he
could obtain by his own authority.
We deem it our duty to>inform YOU
that the facts, as stated above. are
not true; but on the contrary, that
there has been of late much less crime
than usual; and that the Sheriff has
been able to make his arrests by him.
self and deputies, and has needed no
posse comitatus.
We know Of but one murder lately
committed, that or John Bratton.-
Against the person charged with his
murder, the presumption was held
not great, and consequently he has
been admitted to bail.
Hoping that your Excellency will
take no action in the matter without
consulting the law officers here, or
giving them a chance to vindicate
themselves, we are.
