LOUIS La PREMIER HELD FOR WEE MURDER.
THE STATES CASE IS UNDKNIABLY
STRONG
In the city court yesterday morning
Louis La Frenisr was bound over to the
next term Of the superior court without
bonds on the charge of numbering his
wife, Mary La Premier, at their home, go
Poplar street, July 25. The prisoner was
defended by Attorney J. P. Goodhart.
Nearly the entire forenoon vas taken up
with shs testimony of Medical Examiner
White and Miss Mamie Sullivan, who lives
with her parents on the second floor of so
La Froniers lived. The former testified
about his poet mortem examination, the
latter about the occurrences In the La
Premier household on the night preceding
the morning On which Mrs. La Premier
was found dead On the floor of her kitchen.
DR.. White testified that he made post
norton examination of the deceased
woman and found very little evidence of
external violence. There were a few
bruises. He found evidence that her liver
was diseased and stomach inhamed. On
removing the scalp hs found several patch
es of infiltrated blood, one, two inches long
on top of the head near the hair line and
another over the ear, and several smaller
tnfiitrations. On opening the skull he
found clots of blood lying along the dura
mater over the substance of the brain.
These clots of blood were the cause of
death and were the results of exte rnal VIC
lence.
Miss Sullivan testified that about 5
o'clock on the afternoon of July IS che
heard racket in the hallway, and when
she and her mother ran out they found
Mrs. La Premier lying in heap at the foot
of the stairs. Upon their arrival, Mrs. La
Premier exclaimed: Oh! pick me up. The
murderin' villain has killed mel" Mrs. La
Premier was, however, able to pick herself
up and 60 into the house of the witness,
where she staid few minutes and told
them her husband had thrown her down
stairs.
Mrs. La Frenisr went back up TO her
own rooms in few moments and every
thing was quiet.
Witness said that she went down street
about supper time and did not return un-
til about $50 O'Clock. Mr.. and Mrs. La
Premier and two women were upstairs and
she could hear their voices, at least the
voices of the women and heard Mrs. La
Premier sing French song. Then she
heard Mrs. La Premier tell her husband to
''see the other two wemen home" by going
as far as the corner with them. On La
Frenier's return home she heard him tell
his wife:
eff that is the kind of company you
keep, am going to leave. Get my clothes
for me-" Mrs. La Premier replied to the
effect that they weren't all clean, and he
could not go.
"You will get up and get them" was the
next remark, and she heard La Premier
cross over the room to where the lounge
was and then she heard the sound of some
body's head humping On the floor three
times and she heard three screams. Then
she heard La Premier exclaim:
Cd d-n yen, l will fix you this
time"
Charles Williams and Miss Vincent, who
were sitting out on the lRtter's front steps
that evening, just across from the La Ere
nier house, also testified to hearing sounds
as if scufae was going on in the house
and heard La Premier cursin9.
After the hearing La Frenier was taken
70 jail, but it is probable that Attorney
Goodhart will this morning make motion
that the prisoner be admitted to bail.
