President Diaz's Assassin.

President Diaz's Assassin. .
Daily Picayune.
The attempt to assassinate Presi-
dent Diaz, of Mexico, which was
made on Thursday, was followed
Friday by the lynching of the assas-
sin by an infatuated mob. The
whole affair is most extraordinary,
and although it is to be regretted
that a mob was permitted to take
the law into it's own hands in po-
pulous city like the City of Mexico,
still it must be admitted that the
assassin's fate was we'll merlted.
There appeared to exist no reason
for the attempt on President Diaz's
life, except the anarchist principles
protested by the assassin. The at
tempt was q most foolhardy one in
tbs extreme, and there was really
no chance of its succeeding. The
self-confessed anarchist who made
the attempt possessed no weapon,
and depended entirely on stunning
the President by a blow and after
wards killings him with his own
sword. The natural result of this
insane plan was that the would-be
assassin was promptly knocked
down and arrested by President
Diaz's suite.
The arrest of the anarchist was
accomplished without difficulty,
and he was promptly hurried away
so as to escape the mob. Later,
the prisoner was removed to.a place
where apparently an infuriated
mob had no difficulty in getting at
him, and he was mercilessly hacked
to pieces with knives. The Mexi-
can authorities no doubt heartily
deplore this exhibition Of mob vio-
lence. IS it deprived them Of the
satisfaction of fully vindicating the

The lyncbiug of five men at
Versailles, Indiana, will give the
people Of the North something to
think about other than the lynching
of negro rapists in the South, which
they have been SO quick to condemn
and to preach long sermons about
the lawlessness of this section of the
country. 1t is quite evident that
the North is acquiring the ''Southern
habit" consequently the holier-

Alfred Hebert arrived in Lafa-
yette Thursday night from Grand
Chenier. Mr.. Hebert had several
narrow escapes and he is to be con-
graduated for having successfully
scaled the quarantine walls of
Crowley, Rayne, Duson and Scott
without sustaining any injury or get
ting locked up in some melancholy
pest-house. Mr.. Hebert says he
was stopped seventeen times be-
tween Mermentau and Lafayette
and had to use a great deal of di-
plomacy to get through the lines.
At Crowley he was advised to leave
town as the presence there of a
stranger from any point would very
likely cause much excitement.
Even to enter Lafayette he was re-
quired to produce the regulation
certificate and to give a satisfactory
account of himself.
Mr.. Hebert's wife and children
are at Grand Chenier and will re-
main there some time.

PICKER CASE GOES no Jury. i

Norfolk, Va, December 22.-The third
day of the trial of John Anderson, for tho
murder of Mate Saunders of the schooner
Olive Pecker, began with arguments by
counsel upon prayers for instructions, the
jury being removed from the court room.
District Attorney White commended that
there was no evidence to Justify plea of
self-defence and therefore, he said, man
slaughter rs an element in the case, was
removed, and it WAS murder pure and
simple. In making out his instructions,
Mr.. White said he had done so in q judic-
ial spirit, not as an advocate, for he felt
no one could approach the subject with
out fee ling that he was in the presence
of death. He argued that there was alb
solutely no evidence introduced by the
defense to reduce the crime to man.
slaughter andgtherefore it was the jury S
duty to bring in q verdict of guilty or else
acquittal. ssThere was, he said, mo mid
die ground.
Mr.. Mcintosh, counsel for the prisoner,
claimed, that the st. Clair case, which
Mr.. White took as precedent, was not
parallel to the Anderson case. He desired
the court in its Instructions to take into
consideration Anderson's credibility as
a witness. and in doing this to place be-
fore the jury the hypothesis of man
slaughter as well as that of murder. Ar
gument upon the matter of instructions
occupied two hours.
Judge Golf charged the jury carefully
defining murder and manslaughter. He
said that if the jury found that the &C.
cused had committed felonious homicide,
there was nothing before them to reduce
the grade of the murder. II the jury
found any rational hypothesis that there
was any excuse for committing the crime,
they could not convict.
1t was in the province of the jury to
find the accused guilty as indicted, the
penalty being death, or they could add the
words, without capital punishment, -
in which event the penalty is life i'm
prisonment. The only other verdict the
Jury could render was not guilty.
