 The petition then recites that Mir. Barriere, upon advice of his attorney, removed his residence to Mississippi on January '. 1903 and has continued since then to be citizen of that State. He ayers that after the failure of the divorce proceedings he is informed his wife filed a. second suit for divorce and has not yet secured personal service belief and he is so advised that this effort upon the part of his said wife and father-in-law to extradfte the peti- tioner is trick and d substerfuge to get your petitioner into the State of Louisiana for the purpose of obtaining service in the second divorce proceed ings and to obtain from petitioner blood money in a civil proceeding, and an intended claim for a division of pre- tended community property, and peti- tioner further ayers that this intradi- ton is sought for the purpose of his said wife to get petitioner into the State of Louisiana where she can reek vengeance and hatred upon your peti- tioner for these reasons; that his said father-in-law has drawn a pistol upon your petitioner and put 1t to the breast of your petitioner and gthreatened to shoot him and in the presence of Judge McCaleb and various other persons threatened the life of your petitioner and upon one occasion the aforesaid father-inlaw went to the office of your petitioners attorney and threatened to chastise petitioners attorney thereby showing the desperate hatred and feel ing of petitioners said father-in law"
 Then, the petition continues, Mrs. Barriere through her lawyer offered to take S7,000 for herself and child and a divorce in settlement of her alleged claims and was refused by the petition CT. Later, 1t is averred she offered to settle for $7.000 and at another time for $6.000.
 Petitioner shows" the instrument continues. that he has. been informed that his said wife has obtained judg- ment of limited divorce against him and that she Is no longer his wife and that he Is under no moral obligation to sup port her but in order not to be harassed he submitted to these many attempts at blackmail and offered to give her $50 a month for her and her child's support, which offer was made his attorney"
 Finally he ayers that the acts and doings of the prosecutor herein are con- trary to good faith and morals. mali cious and without cause and the Gov ernor of Louisiana has been imposed upon and deceived by the fraudulent and malicious purposes and pretenses of the prosecutor herein and her said father; that If your eXcellency returns him to Louisiana the ends of justice would not be met, but serious and un- avoidable difficulties would result; that he would be subjected to civil remedies, the private ends of the prosecutor sub served, blood money exacted and black mall levied upon your petitioner, in violation of morals and good faith in matters here under consideration"
 In conclusion MT Barriere shows that he has been deprived by an order of the court of the custody of his child, and therefore could not have deserted the child, yet he has offered to support the child, but his wife has refused this support and still demands the payment to her of $6,000, wherefore he prays the Governor for relief.
 MT. Barriere is young man of ex- celIent address. He is we'll known in and has many friends here
