THE KNOCKOUT BLOW.
Supreme Court of Louisiana Refuses the
 Olympic Club a Rehearing.

Supreme Court of Louisiana Refuses the
 Olympic Club a Rehearing.
 New Orleans. June 3.-If there has been any lingering doubt that prize fighting is at an end in this city that doubt has been finally removed by the action of the supreme court, which to- day gave the final knockout blow to the sport" by it's action in refusing re- hearing of the Olympic clubs case. The case was first brought in the civil court by the attorney general against the club. That officer swore out an injunction to prevent a fight taking place and asked that the charter of the club be forfeited on the ground that 1t had been violated by allowing prize fighting. The judge decided favorable to the club. The .Su- preme court passed on the case and held that the charter of the club could not be forfeited for the reasons given, but re- manded the suit with instructions to the lower court to strike out some of the expert testimony given and upon which the judge had decided that the club was not violating the law in giving the Sul- livan-Corbett and other fights. Judge Fighter struck out the testimony and then decided that the club could continue to give fights under the state law. The state again took the matter to the su- preme court, and that tribunal rendered a decision positively prohibiting any more fights between professionals and for purses. The Olympic club applied for a rehearing. Today the court de- cided to refuse a rehearing, which ends the matter
 The court also decided today that the councilman, Dudoussat must serve his term in the penitentiary. Dudoussat was convicted of accepting a bribe to influence his vote in granting a barroom privilege. He was sentenced to three years. On appeal the supreme court affirmed the decision of the lower court Dudoussats lawyers went again before the supreme court tp secure rehearIng Today the court refused the rehearing. Dudoussat will be taken to Baton Rouge with the next batch of prisoners.

Judge Anderson in this case has so fully stated the facts in the application for pardon that the governor will not have to refer it back to the judge. as is usual in most cases. The governor hopes other judges will profit by Judge Anderson's example.
