OFFICER KILLS NEGRO.

ADe Dorsey Makes Motion TO Draw
a Gun When Commanded to
Throw Up His Hands and is
Shot to Death by Policeman
Ac0sta.
Abe Dorsey, young negro about 80 or
IS years old, was shot and killed shortly
after 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon by
Officer Lucien Acosta, of the local police
force. The tragedy occurred in front OF
the barber shop adjoining the First and
| Last Chance Saloon, at the corner of Rail
road avenue and Division street, and was
witnessed by several bystanders. Ac-
cording to the version of the affair
given out by Officer Acosta himself,
it seems he was in search of Dorsey,
against whom charge of disturbing the
peace had been preferred, when, upon ap-
preaching the barber-shop adjoining the
First and Last Chance Saloon he saw the
negro standing on the gallery OF that
building with several friends.
Officer Acosta covered Dorsey with his
revolver, a 3S-calibre Colt. and called
upon him to throw up his hands, but in
stead of doing SO the negro made mo-
ton toward his left breast pocket, as
though to draw pistol, whereupon the
officer fired, the range being about six
feet. Dorsey turned and ran through the
barber shop to the yard in the rear, but as
/ he attempted to craWlthrough a holein the
fence he was overcome by a hemorrhage
and died within few minutes.
DR.. Paul T. Thibodaux, coroner of the
parish, was summoned and held an in
quest over the body, finding that the bull
let had entered the right breast some
three and half inches below the nipple
and ranged diagonally across the chest.
penetrating both lungs and the heart and
causing death by hemorrhage. The coro-
ner's jury was composed of Henry Brock
hoeft, Albert Gauthreaux, Steve Weber,
Robert E. Dill and Joe Robertson.
Dorsey is said to have been a profess
sional gambler and loafer. He had been
hanging around DonaldsonviIle for several
months, and so far as known had never
done lick of work, depending for a live
lihood upon his i'll gotten gains at gamb-
ling. As is always the case with negro
men of his stripe, he had a woman 7
and it was for threatening to kill her and
creating row generally on Tuesday
night that warrant was sworn out
against him for disturbing the peace,
which was the charge he was wanted on
when Officer Acosta attempted to arrest
him.

In Memory Of Corbett Walker.
Contributed

God in His wisdom has seen fit to take
from as one whom we shall sorely miss
He whose big, kind heart and ready wit
made him at once a fav6rite among his
classmates and teachers, has gone where
all OF us must some time go-into the mys-
terinus beyond. Death is merciless, un-
fathomable. Why can't we know?
Only a few weeks ago he was with us,
thoughtlessly care-free, full to overfowing
with his boyish pranks-the brilliancy of
his wit and personality seeming to cleo
trify all with whom he came in contact.
The tragic death of Corbett Walker has
been a shock to the whole community,
but his classmates and teachers are
smitten with a deeper grief, for he was
nearer to us-a part of us.
Death at any time is appalling, but we
can realize its mysterious power only
when it comes among us and takes one
with whom we have been so intimately
associated.
The faculty and entire student body of
the Gonzales school extend their love and
sympathy to the bereaved family, rela-
tives, and friends of Corbett Walker; and
may the Almighty God, who is ever our
helper, be near unto them and comfort
them in this great SORROW
The Lord gave and He hath taken away.
His will is ever kind. Let us abide!
