cntion was postponed and the
woman now occupies cell IN the
Moundsrille penitentiarv awaiting
her fate, which is now in the hnnds
of the five judges of the supreme

A OASrARDLY CRIME.

Last Wednesday night a most das
tardly attempt at robbery and assault
occurred ut the home of Mr.. Emile
Gajan, Just outside of the City limit'
on the public road leading to Jeaner
cite. II seems that Mr.. Gajan VIII,
had been attending the sick bed OF
Mr.. Duplantis. and returned to his
house to obtain something for the
sick person. this being about IN
O'clock PM Upon leaving Mr.. Ga
jan informed his wife he would return
in few minutes, leaving the front
door Unattached. Shortly after his de-
parture three negroes entered the
house shutting the door behind them
and locking II, the hall lamp was
then blown out and the miscreants en-
tered the bed room of Mrs. Gajan and
dragged her from the bed demanding
money ut once OF they would take her
life, they commenced to choke and
beat her.. but owing to the hold on
her throat she could make no oqtcry.
Thinking the lady was sufficiently in.
undated to tell them where the mon-
~ was the murderous hands Of one Of
the negroes was taken from her throat
to enable her to talk. Mrs. Gajan gave
piercing scream which reached the
ears Of Mr.. Gajan and those in the
sick chamber, they all at once ran to
the home Of Mr.. Gajan, finding the

fact that but q few days have elapsed

were not impressed with the fact of

assault or attempted assault. It seems
their brutal natures are incapable of
