iog@ aIs; crew were drawing to q
Close, and the Police Jury repre-
senting dead men, peniteDtiary
eouviuts, fugitiyes from Justice,
etc, saw the necessity Of follow
ing thc example Of The busy bee,
by improving the shining hour OF
P&ckard's Northumberland.
III the year Of Our Lord 1915,
there was an election held i'll the
State OF Louisiana, and in order
to manipulate the vote Of the
people so as to give u majority
for the Radical ticket, enc Mar
ce!in Ledet was sent into the
Parish of Lafourcl,e, to fill the.
position of Supervisor Of Regis
tration, in place Of AnatolIe Pa
MALE, whose conscience was not
SO elastic aud pliab!e as that Of
Lelct. The latter did his work
well, and the way ghosts came
trooping out'of the silent ce!ne-
tarios, c~onvicts calGe flying home
from the renitcntiarie<, and fngi
tives from penitentiary who He'd
from the wrath Of the law, bold
~ returned to vote, would havI
astonislied Sindhal the sailor,
had that truthful genioas -t5:,
} present to witness the Iugulri-
} Gus crowd depositing their bal
lots for Packard and his gangs OF
followers.
: For his work the law required
! the Treasurer Of the Parish t.
pay, and that officer paid him
q every cent. that was allotted him
!, b. law. Bat thAt didn't shit lie
o DIET. An honest days pay did not
. suffice his ambition and he made
. for the Police Jury, determined
!, to have his tony fingers extended
a in the Treasurer's safe.
Now Le,iet had 10 claim 70,
p anything, but necessity is very
prolific in invention Letlet re-
n memherel that he h"d drank SUI
j., dry bottles oFIager beer in Schne
! dre's saloon for which he mad no

4 ii bill Of items amounting to $40
90, he enclosed the same to Ii
