Judge Felix VOORHEES,. The case
was ably argued by both counsels
and the court rendered Il decision
in favor of Mr.. Gardemal.
If this case, after appearing be-
fore the court was q case of extor-
ton III Office, would the decision
of that honorable court, presided
over by such an able and qualified
Judge as Justice DeBlanc been
in his favor? Certainly not. Mr..
Gardemal was maintained in his
charges by just as competent and
honorable a court as exist in this
or any other parish.
Besides the above facts, the case
had been left to prescribe, and
notwithstanding the prescription,
the manipulators had succeeded
in inducing the notorious grand
jury to spend its time -valueless
time-upon a dead case they
would have liked to make against
Mr.. Gardemal. But they did not
dare take the case of Mr.. Fournet
that we called to their attention,
this case Is certainly not prescrib-
ed, neither maintained by any
court of justice.
We believe there is a great diff
ference between the cases we
complained of and that of Mr..
Gardemal mentioned by the Re-
veille. If the Reveille did not
know these facts it is certainly
poorly informed on matters that
are within its provinces.
The MESSENGER keeps up with
the times and keeps its readers
posted on all current matters
and when it makes charges or
complaints, it is only on good,
honest and responsible informa-
lions.

ed Wednesday of last week, the
evidence for state and defendants
closed at twelve o'clock Saturday.
The arguments consumed four
hours time. The jury retired to its
celebrating room at 1875 p. m.
1t was generally expected that an
agreement would soon be reached,
and the court to give them time
to report the same night if they
agreed, took a recess of an hour.
After that time had passed the
court took a second recess, but the
jury finally informed the court
that no agreement was possible,
the court then adjourned until the
next Monday morning at 9o'clock.
The jury stood ten for a verdict
of guilty and two for guilty with
out capital punishment. The two
latter held on to their decision I'M
til about the time to make their
report Monday morning when
they finally agreed to render an
unqualified verdict of guilty!
This verdict sends the prisoners
to the scaffold to pay the penalty
of their crime.
All the evidence in this trial
was circumstantial. 1t was unan-
imously pronounced very strong
against Louis Michel (alias Louis
Broussard) and an unqualified
verdict was expected, but against
Lewis Chambers, some people do
not think the evidence was strong
enough for an unqualified verdict,
while on the other hand they be-
lieve the evidence was as strong
against one as the other prisoner,
and the verdict rendered is whatwas
expected. The jury was better
able to decide this case than those
who only heard a few witnesses,
as very few persons except the
jury and the court officers heard
all the evidence.
This is the first time since the
war that jury rendered verdict
of death in this parish.
Louis Michel who is bold and
plucky negro took the verdict
coOlly and seemed unconcerned,
but Lewis Chambers was deeply
affected, his face changed, his
hands and lips trembled and tears
rolled down his cheeks.
