THE POLICE MATTER.
BETWEEN LIEU
TENANT AND OFFICER.
A Negro Involved in the Recriminaton
Lieutenant Basch and Officer Fitz-
patrick Disagree as to Facts.

On Saturday night negro named
Williams was arrested at the Union
Depot by Officer Fitzpatrick, whom he
charged with carrying concealed weap-
ons This negro was from Ferguson,
Ark, with his wife and children, en-
route to Sodus, La, where he said he
intended to buy home. On being
searched at the station, which he
reached without having offered any op-
position to his arrest, he was searched,
as is the rule. He had on his person
over 5000. He explained as reason for
carrying the pistol that he intended to
defend himself against any attempt to
rob him. Having satisfied himself that
Williams was all right, Lieutenant
Basch, who was on duty, handed back
the money to the prisoner, who OF
leaving $1Io as deposit bond, was re-
leased He agreed to return for trial
Saturday. The action of Lieutenant
Basch was strictly j. accordance with
the law. Lieutenant Basch then detailed
Officer Mckinney to go with Williams
to the Union Depot with instructions to
Fitzpatrick to see that Williams board
ed the train. Williams pistol had been
returned to him unloaded and was in a
basket carried by his wife. Lieutenant
Basch charges that Officer Fitzpatrick
disobeyed orders when he attempted to
re-arrest the negro who had given bond
and that he was under the influence of
liquor. At any rate there was a lively
combat between the officer and the ne
gro, who, after having received two
blows and been knocked down, grap-
pied with the officer, who received sew
eral cuts on the head and was taken to
the sanitarium for treatment. 1t was
believed he had been fatally hurt, but he
is doing we'll. The negro fled and al
though pursued with dogs, eluded cap
ture by inducing a boy to let him ride
On mule for which he gave the boy S..
When last heard from Williams was at
Sodus. ~
In his statement of the case Officer
Fitzpatrick denies being intoxicated or
having any whiskey about him. He
stated that the negro on his way to, the
station had offered to pay him SIS to
secure his release On reaching the de-
pot from the station, to his inquiry how
he (the negro) had got out, that the
negros reply was surly and that when
he (Fitzpatrick) declared that he would
again search him for that pistol, that he
was grabbed by the negro who butted
him in the stomach, secured his club,
with which he was dubbed senseless.
This is about the version of Lieuten-
ant Basch and of Officer Fitzpatrick.
There are many who criticise Basch
for having released the negro, but in
law he had a right to let the man go %
bond, as the amount deposited would
more than cover the fine which the city
court could impose, and in defease Of
the lieutenant it may be said that a
white man named Bassett, of Texas. ar
rested Saturday night at tka Union De-
pot and charged with carrying concealed
weapons, was tried on Monday in the
city court, and he was fined SIS includ-
ing the costs.
This is an unfortunate affair, but it
should be thoroughly investigated.

UNRESTRICTED DELEGATION.
The Opelousas Clarion says: There
is an undercurrent for an uninstructed
delegation to the convention. 1t is ar
gued that an instructed delegation S
power in a convention is naught-and
it is reasonable to expect that a candi-
date will make no'concessions to a dele
CATION that already belongs to him. He
will save his patronage for the unin-
structed.
"St Landry has a favorite son now
holding the position of auditor of public
accounts of the State, and St. Landry
is duty bound to see that this favorite
son is landed for second term. Mr..
Frazee is the first man for many years
who has occupied a State Office from
this parish, and his parishioners would
indeed be recreant if they should be sat
ished with one term, especially when it
is a generally known fact that he ranks
with the best auditors this State ever
had. 1t would be showing very little par
ish pride for St. Landry to act in any
way that would do anything but held
Frazee's chances to succeed himself.
