4 NEK TRIAL GRAINED.

The Colpyabia Record seems
to think ou. comments on the
conduct Of the Blair case was
pnwarranted, and did the at
rorneys for the defence a grave
wrong, all because we gave it as
our opinion, based upon the pub
lished report of the trial: that
the defendants attorneys were
too certain, or rather they were
over-conddent Of an acquittal,
and they did not exercise that
great caution and care they usu-
ally do in cases Of such gravity.
Possibly the Record is right, we
should not have attributed the
woman's conviction to over.con-
fdence on the part Of her at
torneys, and now that Mrs. Biaif
has been given 4 new trial heI
case becomes Of more genera
interest, and the conduct OF u
viii be watched the closer. we
have no interest IN the case one
wav or another. except the IN.
terest of common fairness, and
notwithstanding the Records
oninion that we must have been
half asleep when we read the
testimony in the case, we say
vet. there was a very reasonable
doubt in that testimony which
should have been given to the
prisoner. The doubt, was not as
to who fired the shot that did
the killing, but as to that shot
beng fired with murderous in
tent. We believe there was a
scuf1ie over the possession of the
pistol, the woman trying to keep
her husband from getting it, and
in the struggle the weapon was
accidentally discharged, whether
our theory is correct or not,
there was d very strong sui ostan-
tial doubt OF the woman's lnten.
ton to shoot her husband, and
in the interest Of justice, we are
gratihed Judge Johnston has
given her another chance to es-
tablish her innocence.

Stubs, Sr., of this city, has been

However, we beg to remind the

Town Talk: The gubernato-

kinson, are Tipping around the
State, now here, now there, tell
ing dear people what they stand
for. A number of appointments
have been made where all the
candidates will take part in joint
debate, and then we may expect
to see the fur fly in earnest.

start his canvass shortly end also

Sanders, aud his friends are
working the "poor boy racket
into frazzles. This style of pol
itics does not appeal to men who
think. The greatest majority of
the citizens of Louisiana have
been "poor boys or boys with
parents of limited means. These
boys, men now, and poor boys
becoming men, will not be misled
by these senseless appeals. The
next Governor must be a man
who must have more pronounced
views than having been "poor
boy"
Jastremski was poor boy. nor
il he today a "bloated bond
holder; nor is he supported by
bankers and money sharks, nor
has he pitched his candidacy on
his early poverty. He stands for
well defined principles
IL may be true that Wilkinson
did not peeldle apples from cart
when he was boy, but he Is not
y bond clipper today, nor can he
afford the luxury of having CAM

and railroad excursion trains OPP

IbervilIe South: The bosses of
Lafourche are making desperate
efforts to hold their parish away
from Sanders and are ostcnsibly
supporting good old General
Jastremski. Their game is to
deliver the goods By fooling their
people, but reports indicate that
the bosses will be the ones fooled.
Says the Lafourche Comet:
We do net know exactly to whom
our confrere alludes. If be
means that the supporters of
General Jastremski are the boss
es why he will find out that a
majority of the voters of the
parish are bosses, for all indica-
tions point to the fact that Jas

parish in q walk. OF course,
there will be a few stray votes
