Nash and Barnett Trial End
ed and Verdict
RENDERED. Ey THE JURY \ GOOD
ONE.

Never in the history Of Caddo par
ish has there been more interest man
Tested by the public than in the trial
inst closed. Nash and Barnett were
charged with the killing of John Nc
Cort, in the Eldorado saloon, on Tex
rs street, on December 20 last.

made by counsel for the defense for
continuance, but was overruled by
Judge Taylor, and defendants order

After lorg and exhaustive trial,
in which every inch of ground was
contested by counsel, VI. &. Elstnor

CONCEALED WEAPONS AND OTHER
MIsDEMEANOKs.


The grand jury recently discharged,
as many others have done. called the
attention of the public to the fact
that many of the heinous crimes com
mltted in our parish was traceable to
the carrying of concealed weapons.
From experience we know that this
crime IS prevalent to an alarming de-
gree, even among boys yet in their
early teens. One reason why this
species of lawlessness is so general is
the light penalty imposed on conyic-
ton, the greatest amount of fine be-
ing usually S25, and from that rang
ing to SO In fact the imposed pen
atty is SO small that It has the effect
of making the culprit bully rather
than intiInidating him into an obedi-
ence of the law.
There are other kinds of crime
among misdemeanors which
are carried on to great extent. due
to the same cause, coupled with the
practice of grand juries to ignore
them as frivolous. These are assault
and battery and using obscene Ian
guage in public or private place.
1t is rare now that the grand jury can
be induced to consider these, al
though cases of the most revolving
nature are sent before them. These
all demand the earnest attention of
