Shreveport Times: The seven matt
ineers Of the crew CT the steamer Maria
Louise, who were arrested here on the
18th allimo and sent by order OF United
States Commissioner Kendall to New
Orleans for trial, we zee from late city
papers are IN a fair way Of puui-hmeni.
United States District Attorney Lacey
has fled information charging them
with deserlion, aud they will be
brought 10 a speedy trial. The decision
Of the Court In this case viii settle a
very important question touching the
commercial interests ofthls city. Under
The marine Law q boat ships her crew
under shipping papers for the round
trip. In case Ofdeseriion they are sub,
ject to arrest, and on conviction, to q
forfeiture of wages aud imprisonment
for q short time. We believe this Il
the second, II not the first arrest thaI
has ever been made Ia the Stale undel
this law, and Commissioners Kendall
is certainly entitled 10 the thanks of the
steamboat interest for his prompt action
in the premises.
