Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-04-09

registered her name Is G, Trickler. II
appears that she came up from New Or
leans about the let instant with several
thousand cigars, and while onithe boat,
orjust before leaving New Orleans, she
made the acquaintance Of the man who
was pursuing her, and whose name we
subsequently learned is Z. A. Walther.
From her statement it seems that she
sold the cigars and gave Walthcr one
half the proceeds, and that he was try
ing to get the other half from her. Wal
ther, on the other hand, claims that the
woman is indebted to him to the Amount
of s35 which he deposited with her for
safe keeping. In fact, he went before
Justice Carter and made affidavit to
that effect, and had an attachment is-
sued, which was given to Constable
Murray for execution, and after this
rumpus went ont and brought Mr.. MUIR
ray to the hotel to execute the attach
ment, but the woman, having no person
al or other property, save the clothes
that she had on, he could not execute
the attachment. From what we could
gather, we presume that . warrant
was issued last night for the arrest OF
Walther, charging him with assault and
battery. This certainly avery strange
affair, and something rich may yet be
developed.

eolored boy, aged seven years, was shot

sier parish, about seven miles above

are that the murdered boz and the muir
derer are children of laborers on the
plantation, and had been left in the
cabins, while the parents were at work
The older boy,-it seems, told the younger
one to wash his face, which he said he
| would not do. Seine words ensued be-
tween them when the former snatched
down navy-siN and deliberately shot
the latter through the heart, killing
him instantly. No arrest had beer
made up to the time our informant left
He said the parents of the murdered
boy onlyexpress9d desire to have the
boy who killed him, decently thrashed
and they would be satisfied.
