Judge Geo. X. Favrot shot and in
stantly killed Dr. r. II. Aldricll, a
prominent physician OF Baton Rouge.
at $50 O'Clock ON the evening of
Wednesday, Nov. 9TH, just as the
Doctor was leaving his office. Judge
FavrOt Immediately surrendered to

reason for his deed, further than to
say the killing WAS done for .suffi-
Gent reasons" His lawyers have
since given out a statement that
'mpiete justification for the crime
will lie shown mt the trial
The real cause for the killing is not
yet known. but it is said that DR..
Aldrich shamefully slandered the
wife of Judge Favrot. which so in
censed him that he felt iustitiable in
staying the man who brought shame
tn his iireside by thoughtless and
blighting remarks.
Judge FavrOt Is one of the ablest
y bunS lawyers i'm the State. and the
day before the killing was elected
over Col. Robertson as Congressman
from the 9th district. He was Judge
of the 22d district at the time, but

ton for an election To lie held Jan.
9th to ill the Vacancy In the mean
time Judge Favrot will remain i'm
jail until his successor is elected and
all other matters on the court docket
are at a stanhstill until another
