SLAYERS IN FLORIDA
Authorities Believe Murder of
Attorney Boggs and Daugh-
ter Was Work of Robbers.

MIAMI Fla. Nov. 26.--Bloodhounds

fort to run down the slayers of Adam
=. SOgEs, noted Florida attorney, and
his eightecnyear- old daughter. Miss
Marjorie. whose charred bodies were
found Yesterday in the burned ruins
OF their homo near here. The author
ties are now convinced that the dou
BILE murder was the work OF robbers
surprised in the house by Boggs. He
was known to keep large sums Of
money in his home and an empty
purse and broken jewel case. found
near the bodies, is believed to show
that robbery was the motive.
The aX with which the skulls Of
Eoggs and his daughter were crushed
was found hidden in Ghrubbery near the
house. 1t belonged to the estate. and
this fact leads the authorities to be-
lieVC that some one familiar with the
ha bits of the slain attorney. was re-
sponsible for the crime.
The feeling over the brutality of
the murder runs so high that it IS
certain il the murdcrers are captured
they Will be promptly lynched.

MANY APPEALS TO
PARISH FATHERS,
Former Road 0yerseer R0drisue Among
Those Seeking Redress.

The Police Jury of this parish
met in regular session last Thurs
day morning at their usual place
of meeting with the Honorable
President Lasseigne in the chair,
and all members present. The
meeting was called to order at IL
O'clock A. N. and was not onl y
long, but also a most interesting
one.
After reading the minutes and
transacting the usual business of
the day many interesting and
important matters were present
ed to our good Parish Fathers.
The first to appear before the
Police Jury was Hon. Justin F.
Denechaud, Secretary Immigra-
ton Division, Louisiana State
Board of Agriculture and Immi-
grafton. Mr.. Denechaud has the
honor Of being one Of the three
gentlemen on aCommission ap-
pointed by Governor Hall to re-
present Louisiana at the Panama
Pacific Exposition at Frisco. In
a most brilliant address Mr. De-
nechaud appealed to the Police
jury for whatever appropriation
they ceuld afford at this time.
After having heard the object
of this appropriation, and after
careful ond deliberate considera
tim our Police Jury appropriated
S200 for the cause. Before leay-
ing Mr.. Denechaud expressed
many grateful Thanks to all, and
in conclusion stated that he felt
sure that this appropriation would
never be regretted, but on the
contrary would make all true sons
of Louisiana who will attend the
Exposition at Frisco proud of
their grand old State.
The next appeal was made by
Former Road Overseer Louis
Rodrigue through his Attorney
John E. Fleury. Mr.. Rodrigue
! stated that he had been employ
led by the Road Commissioners
as road oyerseer, End that re-
Gently he was discharged without
due notice and without just
cause. A Voucher was presented
to him for the numbeT ys he
actually had worked 81 the road,
but Rodrigue refused stating that
/ he had been discharged, as stated
above, and was EMIT led to his
| full pay.
/ DR.. J. P. Elnore, one of the
Road Commissioners (Whom Ro
drigue claims discharged him,
appeared in behalf of the Com
missioners and stated that he had
never discharged Mr. Rodrigue,
and that he (Rodrigue) had stop
ped work on the public road Of
his own volition. The Doctor
spoke in his usual calm way, anC
stated that he had no hard feel
ings against Rodrigue. but con
,sidered that Rodrigue was LOSING
100 much Of the parish's time OF
the road, and this was one of tht
reasons given why the Commits
sioners were to meet at future
date to consider this matter.
The Doctor stated further tina
] he was of the opinion that Ro
drigue could not have been dis
charged by only one Commits
sioner, and that as it required
! majority of the Commissioners t
appoint Rodrigue, it also requires
: a majority to discharge him.
: The Police Jury adjourned a
! $50 p. m. and no further actio
Il was taken in this matter.
d All appearances tend to sho
that the Court will be called upo
Z 10 decide this matter.
