DOSH MITCHELL
Day of Execution Fixed for Friday,
February Twenty-6fth.

There is no communication of sentence
for Dosh Mitchell, who is condemned to
be hanged on Friday, February IS, for
the murder of Reuben Douglas, near
Bayou La Chute in August of last year.
He had hoped for commutation of
sentence and had exhibited much con-
Germ about it, and so great was his anx-
ley that at times he was almost in a
frenzied State. For this reason it was
believed that he would have become
very excited when informed that he had
been denied his plea, but he seemed in
different. Perhaps as he realizes his
doom he may, as others, fail to control
his emotions.
The execution will take place in the
parish jail and, as the law directs, will
be private, that is, in the presence of
not more than fifteen witnesses.

artistically and beautifully.
Having been introduced to the audi
ence in well chosen words by Hon.
Frank J, Looney, and following the
geeting, Father O'Hern proceeded with
his lecture and from the outset to the
end held the undivided attention of his
hearers.
1t is not possible in a notice of lin

II should be, but the Catholic Church's
contribution to Christian civilization
was chanpioned in the soulful fervency
Of oratory which is lastingly impressive
The progress of the Catholic Church
and Christian civilization have adj
vanced by insurmountable degree, and
by degrees have triumphed over barbar-
ism. It is the church of peace and good
will, and wherever its standard is UNI
ftirled there, amidst savagery, through
all the centuries to the present day, has
its power for good been felt and demon
strated.
It is the church today, aligned with
the highest standards of citizenship and
good morals, which is resolutely opposed
to dishonesty in business methods. to
corrupt politics. to divorce and to every
evil influence which may contaminate
the home. It stands today as in the
ages past, for morality, for education.
for peace and good will, for law and
order, and for all the things which are
premotive of virtue and honesty, the
Strengthening of home ties, the stability
OF government and the fostering Of the
ideals Of best citizenship.
The lecture was followed by the sing
ing Of America with patriotic spirit,
during which the audience rose and
many joined in the song.

CLAWS As A WITNESS.


New Orleans States: Mr. John ]
Vertress, Tennessee lawyer, who ha,
the reputation of being a fighter and
bulldozer, was employed TO serve as
counsel for Secretary Ballnger in the
Senate investigation of The General
Land Office Il was expected that Mr.
VertresS' methods Of cross examination
would so confuse frighten and demoral-
ize Louis D. CLAWS as to break down
and discredit bis testimony But the
Tennessee lawyers experience with the
witness has not been a pleasant one
His efforts to heckle and browbeat Gla-
Wis resulted only in bringing out Of that
very cool and squarejawed young gem
tleman flood Of such damaging testi-
mony that the crowds in the Senate gall
leries became excited and broke into in
deeorous applause.
The truth is CLAWS is a yefitable Tar
tar as witness. He has courage to
spare and head fuli of brains that have
been trained to work quickly Questions
thrust at him for the purpose Of extort-
ing damaging admissions are cleverly
parried and turned TO his own account.
