wIMREnLEl's PISTOL.
Louis Meyers Gives Up n Pistol and says
lie Got II from WimberIey.

Ever since the Howell murder, which
took place on Mardl Gras evening, Aids Pc
cora and Hennessey have been trying to ferret
out the party who had Wimberley's pistol
Yesterday the two officers had their efforts
crowned with success by discovering that
Louis Meyers, horse-trader on Baronne
street, had the pistol.
He called on him, but rot finding him, left
word that II he did not produce the pistol at
the office OF the Chief Of Police within two
hours, they would have him In the body OF
the jail
Meyers, as soon as he received the informa-
ton called at the Chiefs Office, and gave up a
silver mounted improved Smith IL Wesson
revolver with two chambers empty, save the
two shells, and stated that 1t was the pistol
given him by Kimberley on the evening Of
the shooting He further said that when
Kimberley gave him the pistol, the two
chambers were empty and that the trigger
third fire. That Wimberley on handing him
the pistol said, Take this. and don't let any
one see 1t, or don't give 1t to any one until
see you" He says that this is the reason
why he did not give up the pistol before
The polite consider M yers' action In this
matter very peculiar, considering that he
reads the pa ers regularly and must have
seen that every effort WAS being made by the
police to recover the pistol. IL Is also stated
that Myers called at the Office OF the chief OF
police on the evening Of the murder and in
foi med the chief OF the difficulty, but took
particular care not to say anything Of the
pistol he had In his possession, which he now
alleges belonged to Kimberley.

THE Gas CASE.
An Interesting Point,

The celebrated gas case occupied the atten-
tion of the United States Circuit Court all
day yesterday and will be taken up again to-
morrow. Testimony was introduced by both
sides yesterday, to show on the one sido that
fraudulent assessments on stock had been
made for the purpose OF freezing out" the
defendants, end on the other to prove to the
satisfaction OF the court and jury that the as
sessments were properly made and even for
q legitimate purpose.
During the examination very peculiar and
interesting points were raised and decided.
Judge Alex. Walker was ON the stand, ana
after ne had testified that he was the counsel
Of the Crescent City Gaslight Company, and
as such had been introduced to Atrill, one Of
the parties to the suit, as stockholder and
director Of the company, he was asked what
Atrill had said to him regarding the purpose
OF certain proceedings Of the directors OF the
company. Judge Walker expressed himself
as entertaining doubts about how far he could
go In his answer, and Immediately an objec-
ton to the question was made. The rela-
lions between counsel and client were argued
ut length by both sides. After counsel
had concluded, Judge Billings said that there
could be no question as to the fact that COM
munications between counsel and client were
sacred but there was another question which
suggested itself In connection with the cir
cumstaDceS OF the case at bar. Judge
Walker was not counsel for Atrill, but for the
company, and Atril was stakeholder But
there were other stockholders, all parties to
the suit, being included In the number, and
the case was just this:
One set of stockholders asks the counsel of
the company the question, and insists upon
al answer, and another set insists on the
privilege, and the question was which set was
entitled TO the privilege. He knew OF but one
decision covering the matter and this was
rendered In will case. man made a will
and died, and one of the heirs-at-law insti-
tuted suit to break the will and another heir
at-law undertook to maintain 1t. The counsel
who had drawn the will was placed on the
stand and was questioned as to what had
TRANSFERRED between himself and the deceased
at the time the will was made. Both parties
were equally interested In the action Of the
deceased and one claimed the privilege and
the other insisted on an answer. In this case
the court ruled that the party who was main
tanning the will was entitled to the privilege,
and ne would rule the same way in the case
at bar.
Oglesby was trying to set aside or break
down the action of board Of directors, and
Atrill was trying to maintain it; therefore the
privilege was with Atrill and the question
was ruled out.
The case will probably occupy several days
vet In the hearing

POLITICAL Gossip.

There has been little or no excitement In
politics since the agreement between the au-
thorized representatives OF the Democratic
Conservative party and the committee repre-
sentlng a dissatisfied element The agree
ment IL generally considered fair one and IL
Is believed to be the best method which could
be devised for getting the sense OF the voters
Of the party M TO who shall be the nominees
for the State convention Satisfied with the
agreement and trusting that 1t would be
faithfully carried out, the Democratic-Co
servative people Of the city are content to
patiently await the day Of the primary cleo
tion to make their selections; and although
there Ia some little impatience manifested Ia
consequence Of the delay Of the Parish Com
mlttes In fixing u day for the primaries, no
anxiety or apprehension iS felt because OF 10,
az, II the terms Of the agreement are ad-
hered to, any and every ono can become
candidate, and the election when it does come
off cannot but BIS a fair one, and therefore
the hardness Of the committee cannot lnjure
any one.
However, the call must be made Within
week at the most, as tho general election for
delegates takes place on the eighteenth, and
there will be very little time for the party
nominees to make anything Of u canvass.
Two committees, one representing the dis-
satisfied element and the other the Parish
Committee OF the party, are now considering
the details Of the primary, and IL Is to be pre-
sumed that these decided and agreed upon, u
day will pe selected and officially announced.
In every ward In the city number OF gen
uemen, representing the best elements OF all
classes OF the people, are spoken of as can
didates and suitable persons TO be sent to the
convention, but at present writing II IA i'm
possible to say how many or these gentlemen
will appear In the fell. on the day Of the
primary.
Hon. Chas. Cavanac, State Registrar of
Voters, has his books all ready for revision
and expresses his willingness to appoint rep
resentatiYes from each side to assist III and
supervise the revision.
THE REPUBLICANS
are very much disappointed ut the results Of
the conferences, ond are very much dsheart-
ened in consequence of the present condition
Of affairs and the unbroken front which the
Democratic party In this parish presents.
They have given up all hope Of doing any
thing In the city, and will concentrate their
efforts on the country. In those parishes
where the Democratic majority is small or
the Democratic party is In the minority.
