The Picayune gives the following
account of the hunting expedition.
New Iberia, La, Jan. Con
gresham Broussard's hunting party,
which came so close to being lost, ar
rived in the city yesterday evening
completely worn out. This morning
Parish Treasurer a. B. Romero, a
member OF the party, gave the Plea
yune correspondent a graphic account
OF the trip. The hunting party was
originally quite q large one, number
ing fully a dozen notables from diff
ferent parts of the country, but the
following gentlemen were those who
went on the trip: Fl. D. Clayton
and B. +. Broussard, Judge S. b.
Toney and son, of Louisville G. Cal
gin and A. B. Romero. This party
left this city Thursday afternoon, 60
ing to Jefferson island, where they
were joined by General F. T. Myles.
The party remained on the island
waiting for the balance of the patty
until Saturday, when a start was made
for the bay in a light sloop via bayou
Iigre. Rough weather was encount-
cred after three hours sailing down
the bayou, so rough, in fact, that the
sloop bad to be tied up to the shere
for the night. The weather continu-
ed bad throughout the night and
until noon Sunday, when the weather
cleared and the party set sail a second
time, reaching the bay shortly after
ward, when the party found ducks
in abundance, shooting from the deck
of the boat. Everything pointed to
a splendid hunt with no discomfort,
when about 5 p. M. clouds began to
gather, and before the party could
well grasp the situations heavy squall
struck the boat, almost swapping it.
-,
The members of the party narrowly
escaped being swept overheard. As
it was, much Of the baggage was lost,
including n OF the shotgans. For
tunately the mast held, and under
shortened sail the sloop began to beat
back to a point of safety, Upon
rounding a point of land two oyster
boats were discovered laundering
a short distance away. Forgetting
their own troubles they went to the
rescue, and we're none too soon, one
boat gong under just as they reach
ed it. Notwithstanding the high sea
that the party had to contend with,
they succeeded in saving the crews
of both boats, among them being a

GOOD PROOF OF APIOT
Detectives Confident CzOlgOsz
had Help
THE HANDKERCHIEF THE Glue
Couldn't Possibly Have Tied
it Himself
The Record of the Two CzOlg0sz Boys
Around their Former Home
is Bad

Cleveland, o., Sept. 23.-One OF the
strong elements in the belief of the de-
tectives that there we're accomplices
with Czolgosz (Sholgosh) has been
the fact that the handkerchief with
which the assassin of President Nc
Kinley concealed the hand in which he
held his weapon was woman's hand
kerchief. This handkerchief was tied
about the hand in way that he, is
asserted, would not have been able to
tie it himself, no matter how skillful
he might have been with the other
hand or how much time he might have
taken to tie it. The fact that Czolgosz
had money impelled the detectives to
try to learn where he got it. His
brother Waldeck confessed to having
sent it to Leon under the name of
Frank Snyder, at West Seneca, N. Y.
In his search for clews Detective
Schmunk learned from the neighbor-
ing farmers that the Czolgosz boys,
Leonard and Waldeck, have been
readers of Socialist papers for several
years. John d. Knox, an aged farm
er who lives in the vicinity of the
former Czolgosz farm, said:
The two boys, the one that shot the
President and Waldeck, used to come
to my house and talk to me about
their Socialist papers. They brought
their papers to me and tried TO get me
to read them. Once when they we're
here in the last Presidential campaign
they got to talking about President
Mckinley, and one of them said: IF
he is elected he will be shot before he
serves out his term, and went on: I'd
serve John ID. Rockefeller the same
way if got chance They talked
violence all the time, and [ was glad
when they went ont of the neighbour
hood Almost every night there was r
crowd from the city at their house.
They used to come out to the farm by
the electric road, so that we could not
see them as we would ifthey had come
by the road. The back of the farm
extends to the railroad, and the visit
ors used to go back and forth that
way instead of by way of the road d.
Sometimes there would be quite a
crowd of them"
1t is said that Czolgosz's father,
sister and brothers are going to Buff
falo shortly. The police believe'when
they confront Leon that he will break
down and reveal all that is now a
mystery in relation to the shooting of
the late President.
