A Negro Convicted nf Murder Committed
n1S69.
A conviction for a murder committed
twenty two years ago occurred in the
Criminal District Court in New Orleans last
week. The accused is William Redefoux,
an aged and feeble negro, and the crime
for which he will spend the remainder of
his life in the penitentiary was the killing
of Henry Porter at GENTLY Road, Aug. 9,
1859. On that day a daughter of Rede-
foux was married to Porter, and in the
evening the event was celebrated in way
that ended in quarrel between the two
men. Suddenly 1T was found that Porter
had been stabbed twice in the breast and
was dead, while Redefoux had fed. Last
January Redefoux was arrested and
charged with the crime, already a double
decade old. He was held for trial, and the
verdict before Judge MARI resulted in his
being sentenced to hard labor for life.

CAN'T KEEP OUT PAUPERS.
Canada Unable to Stop the Stream OF
Destitute Immigrants.

Canada Unable to Stop the Stream OF
Destitute Immigrants.
It will be remembered that the Cana
dian Minister of Agriculture took the
first steps toward prohibiting the immi-
grafton of pauper Russian-JeWs by re-
questing the signature of the Governor
General to proclamation carrying into
effect that clause of the immigration act
which prohibits the landing of destitute
immigrants.
The Minister of Justice, however, saw
possible danger ahead, and requested
that no action be taken until it was
learned what decision the United States
courts had rendered with regard to q
case then before them as to the defni-
ton of the pauper immigrant. Sir John
Thompson, Minister of Justice, it is un-
derstood, held that to establish the fact
of an immigrant being pauper it would
first be necessary for him to beg, and to
do that he would have to land.
The matter still remains in allegiance
as regards the landing Of pauper Jews
in Canada, and it is doubtful whether,
in view of the recent decision of the
United States Courts, any further action
will be taken under the present statute.
In well-informed legal circles it is con-
tended that further legislation of the
Dominion Parliament will be necessary
before any prohibitory steps will be at
tempted to prevent these Russian refu-
gees landing in Canada.
