There was a scene in court Mon
day evening. In the midst of a
murder trial, in which Mr.. B.
Henry Pavy was counsel, mes
senger rushed into the court room
and told MIR. Pavy something. At
once the young barrister was on
his feet and madly rushed for the
door, hat in hand.
His lawyer friends, taken by sur.
prise by the sudden and dramatic
movement, remained seated, as il
petrifed, except one old "stager,'
who managed to ask in a fright.
ened tone: .What's the matter
Henry--an accident?"
1.-TWO of 'em, sir-Pm going.o
1.-TWO whatw queried His Honor
getting impatient.
"Boys, your Honor - eighteen
pounds jointly-can ! go"
The case at bar was postponed
There is great joy in the House ot
Pavy. The boys, mother and father

Judgment Affirmed.

The State Supreme Court last
Monday handed down the follow
ing decision In the case Of the State
VS.. Regil Edwards and Octave Sc
Ida, convicted at the last term of
court for the murder of Sidney La
fieur:
State VS.. Regil Edwards ct als.-Sylla-
bus:
l. The evidence taken out of the pres
ence of the jury and brought mp with
the bills of exception in this case fully
sustains the ruling of the trial judge to
the effect that the confessions attribu-
ted to the defendants were made freely
and voluntarily and without the induce
ments of promises or threats, and such
rulings will III no case be disturbed, un-
less clearly erroneous.
2. In the cross-exanlination, one of the
defendants, who had taken the stand as
q witness in his own behalf, his atten-
tion was directed TO the time, place and
circums tance of statement attributed
to him and said to be at variance with
his testimony. and he admitted the
probability of having made such state
ment. Thereafter, upon cross-examina-
ton, of the persons to whom the state
ment is said to have been made, and
who had been introduced as witness
on behalf of the co-defendant, he was
asked whether such statement had been
made to him, to which he replied in the
affirmative. The overruling of the OBJ
lection that the question was not ger
name to the testimony ELECTED upon the
direct examination of the witness, and
that it served to introduce an alleged
confession by the defendant was not,
under the circumstances, reversible
error.
8. Neither general allegations as to
errors of law, nor special allegations as
to errors concering facts submitted to
and found by the jury, will be consid-
cred by this court as grounds for the re-
versal of the ruling Of the district judge
in denying an application for new trial
Judgment affirmed.

Mr.. John P. Caillonet,a a promi-
nent and highly esteemd citizen OF
Port Barre, died at his home on
Tuesday, January 2l, 1902. A large
! number of friends and acquain-
tances from this town attended the
funeral, which took place Wednes-
day. Mr.. Caillonet died of pneu-
nonia, and was sick but a few
days. The Clarion extends its
heartfelt sympathies.
When "Quo Vadis" was pre-
sented last season the public was
pleased with the production. The
play, as given this year, is on a
greater and more elaborate scale.
An entirely new equipment of
scenery has been added, and the
cast further strengthened by addi-
4 tional artists. The company has
no equal on the road and has met
with unqualified approval at every
performance.
"A structure, resembling a mod
ern dog house, has just been COM
pleted at the main entrance of the
postof1ice bnilding. The excuse for
it's disflguring presence there Is
that Uncle Sans patrons wouldn't
close the door as they went in and
out, and the cold blasts had to be
kept out the best way possible.
1 It's unfortunate we are not more
/ civilized as to force Uncle Sam to
erect dog house in the public
building.
The Clarion feels constrained
to call the attention of the opera
house management to its utter
failure to meet public demand in
the way OF heating the house prop
ferly. The house il so cold that not
lonly is proper appreciation of the
4 play marred, but the danger to
4 health is great--so much SO that
few ladies attended the plays the
4 past week. But one small stove
j is used for this large room, when
really three would not be too
many.
/ There is prospect OF some rich
land aspects" in this parish in the
! near future. The State Auditor
has sent the Clarion for publica-
tion some nine hundred descrip-
tions Of lands adjudicated to the
State for taxes for the past ten
i years, and unredeemed. These
lands will be sold as soon as the
! advertising can be done, and as the
State gives an absolute title to al
lands bought, 1t is expected that
!. the bidding will be spirited and
J, the State will realize handsome
sum from the sales. Abstractors
! and land men are all in fur,
. over the affair.

Town Politics.

Chairman r. M. Littell has is
sued call for a meeting of the
Democratic Executive Committee
OF the town OF Opelousas, to be held
on next Monday, January ~, to
take action in the matter Of the
approaching municipal election.
We learn that there will be oppo-
sition to primaries developed In
the meeting, with what result can
not be told.
The committee is composed OF
DIR. r.. M. Litteil, chairman; Thos.
H. Lewis, s. L. Hebrard, Alphonse
Reed and Raymond Breaux.
If a primary is ordered (and we
feel sure that one will be), it should
be one on the same plan as the one
two years ago. While it was called
democratic primary" it was
virtually "White primary" the
only questions being asked:
"Are you registered yoterw
"Will you abide by the result OF
this primaryW
This plan, while eliminating ef-
fectually the few negro votes, per-
mits any white man who 30 de-
sires, to vote.
Speaking of town politics, we
may observe that some of the as
pirants for honors and emoluments
are wary of the sidewalk ordinance
business. They realize that that
question will cut quite an impor-
tant swath In the coming fight ;
in fact it promises to be the lead
ing issue. We learn that steps are
being taken to organize a united
movement against the present or
dinance. The idea, we learn, is to
bring the question before the peo-
pie in some manner, and the antis
are confident OF winning the fight.
Aldermen Vilaseca and Gosselin
are strongly opposed to the meas
ure and will do all in their power
to have the people vote ON the
question. They voted against its
passage-that is, voted to have the
question submitted to vote OF
the people.
On the other hand the ordi-
nance has many friends, who will
fight to the last ditch for it. They
say that the time has come for
Opelousas to scrape the barnacles
from its back and line up with the
times-get in the procession with
Crowley and Alexandria and other
hustlers.
Still there are others, who, while
willing for an expenditure OF
money for sidewalks, want the
town to issue bonds.
The fight will be lively.
