about when he speaks of the United States

Mansfield Journal: Louisiana has now
splendid school system, because the peo-
pie are behind it.
Donaldsonville Chief: Tie killing of Van
Ingen was so utterly without provocation,
so premiditated and dastardly, it seems
almost incredible that any jury of intelli-
gent and honest men should be unable to
agree upon the guilt of the assassin.
Shreveport Caucasian: The enforce
ment of any law must rest with the au-
thorites charged with its execution, and
in this respect Caddo Parish is fortunate
in having for judges men who being fair
and impartial, are equally resolute, in a
fearless discharge of their duty. The
plant of the liquor traffic is contradicted
by the decrease in crime and the increase
in the value of property. The slogan of
to-day and Of tomorrow is enforce the
law fairly and impartially, but enforce the
law.
PLAIN MURDER.-In no part of the State
has the Bouvy trial been watched with
such keen interest as in this city. In no
part of the State has the verdict of the
jury been received with such an intense
sense Of shame and indignation, shame
and indignation that in the policy and con-
duet Of the trial the legitimate issue was
obscured and caracatured with parade of
ugly and unwholesome charges against a
woman's honor, and that an appeal to the
unwritten law was invoked, which charges
and which appeal in this case were totally
outside all the real issues concerned in it..
The plain facts in the case are, that Prof.
Van 1ngen was foully and deliberately
murdered, unexpectedly attacked, and
without opportunity for self-defence.-

The Bouvy Trial.
money
New Orleans States.

A mistrial was entered in the trial of the
Bouvy murder case at Plaquemine in the
Parish of Iberville yesterday. The trial
attracted much attention throughot the
State because of the brutal and unexcusa-
BILE nature of the crime and the remarkable
character of the fight on the part of the
defense. It was a clear case of wholly
indefensible murder committed under most
extraordinary circumstances and it richly
deserves the extreme penalty of the law.
All the evidence went to show the murder
to have been coolly premedited and DELHI
erately executed without giving the victim
even dogs chance for escape. In addi-
ton to this, there will be general condem-
nation, we believe, upon the part of the
people of the whole State of the most I'M
necessary and reprehensible attempt to
blast the reputation of worthy young
woman in the effort to save from the gall
lows miserable degenerate whose brutal
crime was disgrace to humanity. To the
credit Of Judge Schwing, be it said that he
endeavored to prevent the admission of this
debasing evidence, but it was insisted upon
by the defense and consented to by the
prosecution, for what purpose it is difficult
to conceive.
The mistrial was most unfortunate
setback to public justice, and a powerful
encouragement to those who are criminally
disposed. The "unwritten law has been
the mantel in which many a cowardly
murderer before this time has embodied
himself to escape merited punishment; but
it is pushing that defense to the breaking
point when it is contended that a. rank
outsider may "butt in'' and constitute
himself the family protector and shoot
down an unarmed and helpless man. This
sort of so-called "chivalry'' is the kind
that cannot be dealt with with too severely
by the law, for it is an affront to true man.
illness and crime against civilization.
And verdicts such as the one brought in by
the jury in this case are the prolific sources
of much of the crime which stains the
records of courts in all portions of the
Souueiy'
Human life is too cheap, and until public
sentiment shall demand higher concep-
ton of their duties by juries crime will
increase and our civilization will be threat
ened. We have too many mistrials, too
many loop holes by which red-handed
criminals are enabled to slip through the
meshes of the law by working up maudlin
sympathy for the criminal. The attempt
of one calling himself man to save his
own neck by blasting the reputation of
Louisiana woman will, we are sure be re-
sented by every manly man, and that fact
alone ought to have gone very far towards
securing the conviction of the wretch who
attempted it.

RADIATOR TIPPED OVER,
BROKE BOYS LEG.
Mathew Byrne, Son of Andrew Byrne,
Badly Injured While at Academy
Football Game.

Saturday afternoon shortly before
$3.50 o'clock Mathew Byrne, the u
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Byrne, received a compound fracture
of his left leg while in attendance at
the Academy football game on the
local campus. Some old radiators TAX
en- out of the building were in the
yard, and as he was passing them
some boys playing there knocked one
Of them over. which hit young Byrne
and knocked him over and pinned him
TO the ground, having struck his left
leg just above the ankle. Some boys
tried to lift it off, butsthe top of the
radiator came off and it again de-
seemed upon the injured member, in
ficting worse wound. Both bones
were broken and the leg torn badly.
He was taken to the Backus hospital
and Sunday evening DIR. Cassidy stat
ed that he was resting as comfortably
as possible.
The young man stood the operation
well, showing much grit, having dis
played the same when he received a
lad fracture of his elbow a few years
ago.
