OF the two Negroes.


Our readers are too familiar with the
facts of the case of the st ate of Louis
lana versus the Sorrel1 murderers for
us to relate any of the clauses of the
we'll known diabolica1 crime which
was committed at Olivier stat ion on
s,tg, 18th, last.
John Green and Charley Brown were
Yesterday hanged for the preparation
of this crime.
Promptly at ~ o'clock the procession
was formed and the two condemned
men marched to the ga1lows, accompa-
MED by Fathers FROM and Girault
who had before administered to them
the last sacrament of the Catholic faith.
There were not many people present
to witness the hanging, as compared
to the hanging of both the two conspi-
rators, Ruben Cateley and Hippolite
Brown. About 500 persons were pres
ent.
On being brought upon the scaffold
John Green said:--'I am going to be
hung an innocent man Icannot give
anv account of the murder of Mr.. Sor-
rell. know nothing about it h I've
made my peace with God and am not
afraid to die

me; they have not hurt me, they .have'

men we're then piniored, after which
the "black cap was adjusted by Sher-
| iff elect Henderson. The drop fell at
I2;3l Pm.
Green's neck was broken in the fall,
hui Brown died from stran gulation.
After the drop the latter was heard
! to say, Don't cut the rope! God have
mercy on my soul!
T After some struggling the hanging
| mans limbs ceased to culver and was
with his companion pronounced dead.
Thus ends the most famous murder
case in the history of our parish; and

This train pulled out of the New
Iberia depot at lO:45 a. m. and in
very fz~ snsautes reached the
mines. There the party was met by
Mr.. Rindio, Gen. Avery, Mr.. ID.
D. Avery and others, who showed
them through the big "breaker' as
the mill is called. they were TAX

saw the elevators full of salt, in
rock form, come up out of the bow

the crusher, then carried TO other
crushers TO be made INTO the various
sizes of salt desired.
The air in the breaker was filed

them.
The tunnels seem to be about
fifteen feet from floor to the arched
ceiling, and about forty feet be-
tween the walls. About 100 feet
of tunnelling has been done and
other tunnels will be began. The
