The Trial of Mccoy.

The Cincinnati Weekly En-.
quirer recently printed the fol
lowing choice sample of a lie.
When it is considered that La
fayette Parish gave the strongest
evidence Of an abiding trust in
the legal administration of justice
in allowing the wretch Mccoy to
be regularly tried for the com
mission of a damnable crime, one
can hardly understand to what
limits the Northern press will
go in misrepresenting the South
ern people. The Gazette does
not in the least desire to inter
fere with the cause of Mccoy,
which is not terminated, but we
can truly say that at all times he
was safeguarded by every means
within the power of the court of
fcers. executive and judicial.
AS soon as he was indicted by
the grand jury, Judge Debaillon
appointed three members of the
bar to assist the accused in his
defense. These gentlemen with
drew only when Mccoy en-
plOyed counsel.
At the trial of the case, the
strongest evidence in his behalf
was given by a white man, a
cousin of the injured person,
whose sympathics could hardly
have been with the negro. Nc
Coy was found guilty by jury
of unprejudiced men. His coun-
sci took an appeal which is now
pending before the State Su-
preme Court. No one can say
with any degree of truth that
the trial of this negro was inter-
rupted by evidences of mob
violence. Yet in spite of these
facts, the Enquirer with the
cOnsummate nerve Of the liar,
publishes this absurd story
said to have been sent from New
Orleans:
Awaiting death the gallows in the Par
ish Prison here IS a man who was saved from
lvnchinc, and probably from frightful tor
,urc at the hands of mob 10y SO slight an
incident as the accidental scratching of a
match.
William Mccoy, who has been guilty of
assaulting a woman in Lafayette parish,
was trial there. His victim had identI'
fed him, and the ,"wnspeople decided tc
lynch him. Threats Of turning were openly
made, and Mccoy expected to be taken Out
and horribly used. On the last day of the
TRIAL a mol, entered the courtroom with the
avowed purpose of attacking the prisoners
guards as soon the verdict was read and
lynchins him, whether he IVES found guilty
not.
The Sheriff had extra deputies, but the
mob was large that there seemed ne
hope of saving Mccoy. The Judge received
the verdict and read it. The mob started
forward. At that instant, when the figh,
was about 10 begin, some one stepped upon
a match, which made Il loud report and II
was mistaken for pistol shot. Mccoy
tainted, and the mob, believing he had been
shot, stampeded. The Sheriff hustled him
away ane! locked him up, putting the key
of the Jail in the ank vault. Later Mccoy
was brought to this city, and now awaits
He has bccp refused n new trial.

A Negro Killed.

Saul Babineaux shot and killed
q negro by the name of Jim An
drus, Alias LamOnte, near the
town of Carencro last Tuesday.
Mr.. Babineaux, who is constable
in that ward, had a warrant for
the arrest of Andrus. Antici-
pating trouble in the arrest, he
sought and obtained the assis-
lance of Laurent Arceneaux.
They met Andrus on the public
road near the plantation of Ro-
main Francez, and the officer told
him he was a prisoner.
Andrus Immediately showed
resistance and said no man would
arrest him and that he would pre-
fer to die than to surrender. He
got off his horse and made a mo-
ton to draw a weapon from the
hip pocket. Babineaux thereup-
on fired one shot from his pistol
and killed the man.
Andrus was a brother of Petit
Marie who shot at Mr.. Babineaux
a few months ago when the latter
made an attempt to put him un-
der arrest. Marie is fugitive
from justice.
Coroner Mouton made an in
quest Tuesday afternoon, and
the jury exonerated Mr.. Babi-
neaux, and concluded that the
shooting was justifiable. The
cOrOner's jury was composed of
the following persons: F. G. La
tiolais, Laurent Noel, AnatOle
Trahan, John G. Sonnier and Gas
ton Begnaud. There were sever
al witnesses to the shooting, and
the testimony of all, irrespective
of color, is the same in the main.

The movement that is being
taken up by the Business Mems

purpose of having 3;tCratrf,, con
corning the agricu3 -araI and IN
dustrial opportunities of our town
and parish printed in proper
form and distributed through the
immigration agencies of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. is an
enterprise deserving the atten-
ton and interest of all our citi-
zenS.
The exodus of population from
the regions of the North and
middle West into this section is
no longer rumOr, report, or
a mere boom cry for specializing
purposes; it is a plain indispu-
table fact, substa by train
load after trainload daily pass
ing through our city. And there
is good reason for it besides.
That section of our country is
already over populated, relatively
speaking, the climate is cold to
the extent of great Inconvenience
and suffering, and the Industries
are so thoroughly worked up.
that profits have dwindled to the
minimum per capita. 1t is there
fore a paying Investment for a
man to sell there and buy here.
All the more Intelligent classes
are perceiving this, and are look
ing for literature concerning this
newly discovered Eldorado of the
Southwest.
Our citizens, therefore, should
not neglect to have the merits Of
our town and parish thoroughly
and accurately presented to the
minds of prospectivei i'm migrants.
We ought to describe our soil and
it's prOductiveneSS, list our lands
that are for sale, write up our
industries and suggest the half a
have, exhibit the progress that
we are making in education both
in our public school system and
in our splendid new State Indus
trial Institute, and invite those
seeking homes and investment to
come and see US.
After conference last Satur-
day with G.. M. Mckinney, gen
eral immigration agent of the
Sou thern Pacific Railway, fol
lowed by a called meeting Mon
day night, the Business Mems
Association resolved to have pre-
pared a twentyfOur page pam
phlet upon Lafayette, town and
parish, and to give fifty thousand
copies of this for general diStri-
button in the North and middle
West by the railroads Immigra-
ton Bureau in Chicago. The
cost of the pamphlets will be five
hundred dollars Of which one
hundred and fifty dollars was inn
mediately subscribed by only the
few members present: and a
com mittee was appointed to wait
upon our citizens and raise the
balance.
We heartily indorse the plan,
and feel sure that it's execution
will result in a most valuable
progress for our community and
parish.
