The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1878-06-01

Quoted by District Attorney Earhart,
Messrs.. Sims, Ilsle7s Pngh and Fred.
Dufel, while Messrs. Winehester aud
Cheevers are deferslingAthe prisoners
with ability aud zeal. The trial can
not be finished to-day and it may go
over Monday as we'll. The jury win
be locked up tonight and kept in
the Court House, under the Sheriff's
care until Monday morning. Tho
Jury consists of Messrs. Chas. Turner,
]. b. Boutreau, Samuel King, Z. b.
Leblanc, Dennis Francois, Felieien
C. Hebert, John B. Quinby, Jos. d.
Templet, Henry Williams and S.
Goette, the two latter having been
summoned as talesmen. The trial of
Fountain Banks and Octave Lauye,
indicted jointly with Childress and
Carter, will go over until next term
of court, a severance having been
granted on the States motion.
The court room has been constantly
crowded during the consideration of
the Ryan and Arrieux cases, attesting
the deep public interest felt in these
important matters.
Richard Jones, a fugitive from
justice, was captured in New Orleans
by his surety, Senator Landry, and
has been landed in the parish Jail.
He will be tried at the next term of
court for alleged burglary and lar
ceny, committed at Dir. Ed. Dufel's
sugar-house. 1t is quite likely that
he will have to remain in Jail until
October, as it may be difficult for
him to procure bondsman who is
willing to take the chances on his
showing up at the proper time.
