BATSON GUILTY

The second trial of A. E. Batson at
Lake Charles has ended in his convic-
ton of the murder of the Earl family
near Welsh. On the first trial he was
convicted as charged, but secured a new
trial on technicalities. There were, as
usual throughout the State, the senti-
mental class who did not think he was
guilty. At any rate he has been convict
ed and will hang-hang did we say? Oh,
no. hanging legally would break his neck
and cause his death. He will take the
more severe penalty of life i1nprison-
fnent which he doubtless will secure.
What is needed in Louisiana as much as
fair trials are few first class legal ex-
ecutions. Why not?

A HORRIBLE CRIME
7. BULLOCK POISONED BY
HIS WIFE.
Deliberate and Persistent Was Her Pur-
pose-An Admission of Guilt
and Contradiction.

There is in the custody of the sheriff
a woman, Mrs. J. C. Bullock, who is
charged with. the murder of her hus-
band, T. J. Bullock, man over fifty
years of age, who died at his home on
Franklin street Saturday afternoon be-
tween and 4 o'clock.
The recital of the facts may be abbre-
waited from all sensation. 1t is a pitiful
case-pitiful because the children of this
couple are the sufferers, and their ages
range from the small tot to splendid,
good faced hard working young man
who has recently reached his maturity
and is married And there is also
grown daughter, living in Kansas City,
Mo-, and the others are in their teens.
For some time T. ]. Bullock has been
sick. Under the tratment of his physi-
clans he improved, but re1apsed, with
complications On being questioned, Mrs.
Bullock admitted having given him
croton oil. in small doses, and ground
glass in capsules. This admission she
coQtradicted afterwards and explained
that the eroton oil was administered TN
der the advise of a friend, to soothe her
husband in his slumbers. Certainly she
did not know the effect of croton oil
This woman is either insane or one of
the most deviiish of her kind The scene
which occurred at the home of the FAM
lily on Franklin street when the officers
conveyed her away battles description
Her children. not realizing their situa-
ton, cried pitifully. Her son followed
her to the court house with her young
child, who shuddered with lamentations
at the very thought of his mother being
locked UP. in the jail. It was a sad Sight,
sad indeed The woman realizes her pre-
dicament and now and then her par
oxysms indicated that she was being
moved by great emotion concealed and
restrained with all the power at her
command
f. ]. Bullock and family came to
Shreveport from Logansport about four
years ago and at one time kept board
ing house at the Junction.
