At the term Of the District Court
just adjourned in this Parish, during
the trial of one Henry Miller for fe-
lonious assault, friend of the accused
named Sam Gordon sought to clear
him by establishing an alibi. Sam
overreached himself by making the
falsity of his testimony SO apparent
that the District Attorney had him
arrested before he could leave the
Court House. Next morning bill
of information was filed against him
for the offence. He was so complete
ly caugha that he sought leniency by
pleading guilty. The Court promptly
sentenced him to three years impris-
onment in the penitentiary. If this
conviction and punishment serves to
warn others from committing the too
frequent crime of perjury the Parish
will he amply repaid all the expense
of the Court. Certain judgment should
swiftly overtake all such offenders.

From information furnished the
DEMOCRAT by Mr.. George Marsh,
who is taking off the crop there, we
learn that one day last week some
fiend in human form committed ter
rible crime on the Lunenburg planta.
ton, on Bayou Boeuf, which resulted
in the death of little child about five
years old, and the almost certain death
of another child much younger, a mere
infant, both colored. 1t seems that
both children were saturated with coal
oil, and one of them when found, dead,
was burned to pieces. The two little
ones had been left in house by them
selves, and as to who committed the
crime is as yet mystery. Suspicion
points to negro who was the guar
dian of the two children, and who, ru-
NOR has it, wanted to get rid of both
of them In the annals of crime CON-

most heartless ever chronicled, and
