Of habeas corpus In the case Of DR.. Buch-

appeared at the sheriff's Office in this
town this morning. surrendering himself
for trial on a charge Of shooting Lindley

diately incarcerated in the parish prison

acquaintances. He had little to say. He
does not deem his surrender of great i'm

regard 1t as a matter of course. That he
would comply with the conditions of his
bond he admits. Court convenes here on
Monday next, when the first criminal term
will be held since the tragedy. Mr.. Payne
says he had never felt that he was a fu-
gitive from justice; he was admitted to
bail and always intended to live up to
the terms of his bond. Neither Mr.. Payne
bondsmen nor the people generally of the
community, who know the circumstances,
had the slightest doubt that Mr.. Payne
would be here in due time for his trial.
Payne arrived on the east-bound train
from Galveston. due here at a. m. Mr..
Foster of the firm of ]. U. Payne & Co.
of New Orleans came up from New Or
leans last night and accompanied the ac-
cused to the sheriff office.
