docket of this honorable court; that
in the petition (of the suft) aforesaid
the district attorney, aided by pri-

probable cause, unfounded, libeloas

not the fault of the district attorney,
were founded on the misrepresenta-

legations and charges were not only
false ard malicious. but damaging,
as appears from the following Guo-

from the allegation OF the petition
filed in the impeachment rroeeed-

suit No. 1913 was duly fixed Tor

were plaintiffs in said suit, acting
through their attorneys, placed Ger

failed to sustain the CHARGES and al

aument Of council the matter was
submitted to the Court and taken
under advisement. Briefs to be
filed By the parties hereto.
Reason for Judgment on the Excep-
tion to No Cause of Action.
This suit is apparently one for
damages for libel, slicious prosecu-
tion, and slander.
In order to intelligently consider
all OF the allegations OF plaintiffs 8 Pc
tition to ascertain whether a legal
cause of action has been alleged. the
Court has, divided the petition into
two divisions. The first consisting
OF Articles Ill, Nv. v and vi of said
Detitiod3 and the.second consisting of
VII, VIII and IN thereof.
A careful reading and consfdera-
tion Of Articles Ill, Nv. V and vi
show the allegations therein are in
tended to allege a cause of action for
l:libel. The allegations are as fol:
lows:
THAT all the defendants did ma
liciously act together. conspire ana
assist each other. in an effort on their
part to destroy plaintiff as private
citizen and public Official, and to un-
justly and without probable cause to
have him impeached as mayor OF
Abita Springs (Article ND; and that
in aid of and in furtherance OF their
said malicious purposes and consplr-
acy defendants did. on the 2Sth day
of January, 1913, and continuously
thereafter, write or have written, c,r-
culate and cause to be circulated, and
they did utter and publish petition
containing libelous, defamatOry and
false charges against plaintiff (Ar-
ticle w; and that said defendants
did write or have written in said pc
tition the following: Having knowl-
edge Of the fact that ]. E. Gibson,
mayor of Abita Springs, has been
guilty of non-feasance and malfeas-
ance in Office gross misconduct and
conduct unbecoming to an officer, we
hereby request you, the said district
attorney, undef-222 of the Consti-
tuition, to have said officer, J. E.
Glisson, mayor of said town OF Abita
Springs, impeached and removed
from Office as mayor (Article W: and
that in circulating and publishing,

DUCE BOND AND GET A
CHANGE OF VENUE.
BlCknAM CONFIDENT
OF RELEASE ON HEARING
Maintains that He is Guiltless of any
Wrong Doing and Only Wants
. Fair Hearing.

Attorney Fred J. Heintz is work
ing hard in the case Of H. d. Bick-
ham, who was at the head Of and q
big stOckh0lder in the Commercial
Bank Of Bogalusa when It suspended,
and who is now in the parish prison
in New Orleans. charged with illegal
transactions in its management. MT.
Heintz will attempt to have the bond
reduced and secure change Of venue
In the trial Of the case either to
Covington or Amite City. The New
Orleans Ptcayune quotes Mr. Etcz-s
ham as follows:
"And should the change OF venue
be granted" said the former banker
who shows that he has suffered
greatly, 81 am going to make an ef-
fort to get released on bond. Either
Amite City or Covington will be the
place rood enough for me to be tr Ell
on the charges now laid against me.
In either place l can obtain fair
trial, and that Is all l want. You
see, the bond fixed now-about SAL
900, is exorbitant True, had bonds
men for that amount before, but
then I was almost assassinated, and
the bondsmen were threatened, &C
cording to the report, and while I
was here in the Presbyterian Hos
pital the bondsmen called upon me
and explained their position and /
was willing that they should be re-
leased. Now something like $10.-
900 should be the bond in my case.
II bond Is needed. 1t is a fair
amount and it would allow me the
chance of securing relatives to sign
the bond and avoid calling upon any
one else. One Of the former bonds
men expressed willingness to sign
my bond again, but it may be that
I will not ask him to be part OF
the surety
do you believe that in a trial you
will vindicate yourself?"
Certainly" answered Bickham,
and he said It as II he was sure that
he will win In the first bout in court.
why should not win an acquittal?
When everything is laid bare you will
find that the banking business con-
Quoted was conducted on the best
business principles and it it had 1pt
been for the precipitative measures
and the malice shown to-day the
bank would be a. going business" J"
