WHlTECAPPING RECEIVES A CHECK


|
WttlTECAPPiNG RECEIVES A CHECK.
In the case of Peter Warner VS..
b. II. Talbot ct ais. the Supreme
Court Of Louisiana has admins.
tered a salutary lesson to whitecap-
ping which viii effectively check it,
If 1t does not stop 1t altogether.
A young man who had been ill.,
treated and roughly used by a
crowd of men and threatened and
put in fear of his life, sued his
assailants in damages tor such
i'll treatment and abuse, aud OBJ
tanned judgment in the district
court for $500.
On appeal the Supreme Court
decided that "where a number Of
citizens, without warrant of law.
take into the woods young man,
whom they suspect of having COM
mitted the crime of arson, and
who is at the time in attendance up-
on the Grand Jury, and there
abuse and ill.treat him for num-
Der OF hours, place a rope around
his neck and threaten to hang, and
make demonstrations of hanging
him. all with view Of extorting
from him confession Of the crime,
or an accusation against some other
person, a verdict Of $500 for men,
tai anguish, terror and distress is
insufficient, even though nothing
be claimed on account of damage
to reputation and nothing be prov
en- the way OF pecuniary loss, and
the amount allowed will be in
creased.
1t then amended the judgment
by increasing the amount thereof
from $500 to $4,000, which it con-
demned the defendants in soldido
to pay the plaintiff.
Two other law points decided in
the case are thus stated in the svl-
labus:
| In civil action to recover
actual damages for abuse and ill.,
treatment inflicted in an effort to
,xtort information from one sus-
Dected Of having committed a
crime, evidence as to the facts con.
nected with such supposed crime,

lays prior to the abuse and i'll
treatment complained Of is mad.
nissible, either by way Of justia-
'ation or in mitigation OF the dam
lges claimed.
2. In u civil case where there
$ no wcll-fonnded complaint Of
he exclusion of evidence it be-
omes immaterial on the appeal,
the charge Of the trial
Judge was right or wrong, since it
s the duty and privilege Of this
jourt to apply the law, according
0 its understanding thereof and
of what the trial Judge :
nay have charged, to the facts az
disclosed by the record.
This case will serve as q warn
ny to all would be law breakers

errent effect. It will teach the

REPRESENTATIVE
The Office Of represe ntatiye is one In
which one man is especially selected,
and delegated To look after the inter.
eSts Of the community at the state
capital. He Is only one among hun
dred and twenty-five. IL thus appears
that there are three essential qualities
that representative should pUSseSs,
ability, activity and integrity, and the
greater his ability aud the mure en-
thusiaStic he is in his work, the
create r and more satisfactory will be
the results OF hls labDrs.

good business for himself. He is one

Mr.. Hull is a man who has been

county. He is an influential member
Of the state sepIFgl committee, and
has held important sppointive posi-

The Office Of representative is one In

Goes to Jail for Assault.

HE beat me nearly to death with a
broomstick," said Lula Taylor, colored.
when Robert Taylor, also colored was mp
before Judge Kimball this morning on "A
charge of assaulting her.
Robert said he was only correcting her SO
as to learn her better manners"
They were both living in the same fiat,
and Martin Kicks ordered Taylor from the
premises. Taylor also used the broomstick
upon him with serious effect.
Judge Kimball fined Taylor s. or fifteen
days in Jail for striking the girl, and for
assaulting the man he added $40 and thirty
days.
Taylor will spend forty-five days in jail rs
a reminder of the affair.
