Evangeline Offerings

The pictures presented last
night at the Evangeline brought
forth many words of recon-
mendation. The serial "Liber-
ty" was very fine, and the two
other subjects were in keeping
with the usual offerings given
to his patrons by Manager Sol
Loeb, who is always striving to
please his audience. There was
an added attraction last night
with the Henri Rostand Co., the
East India Magicians, who prov
ed themselves to be some better
than the ordinary run of such
performers.
Manager Loeb offers tonight
one of the most fascinating pic
lures ever seen in Morgan City,

NEW CARRIERE TRIAL
WILL BE SOUGHT

Opelousas, La, Oct. 3O.-To-
days grind of criminal court
passed without any motion be-
ing made by Eli Carriere's coun-
sci for a new trial. It is under
stood, however, that while CARR
ere, the convicted slayer of
Sheriff Swords, has until Satur-
day to make such motion it has,
in fact, been already prepared
by his counsel and will be offer
ed during the morning hours
Tuesday.
The chief grounds are under
stood to be the alleged facts
that the state Of the public feel
ing was such, as shown by the
examination of talesmen and
witnesses, as well as general de-
meanor Of the public as pre-
cluded the fair and impartial
trial guaranteed by the consti-
tuition.
Further, that the jurors
were permitted to eat in a res
taurant from which others pat
rons had not been excluded.
That the crime charged nor the
venue of the crime had been
sufficiently proven and that by
adjourning Of court on Saturday
evening until Monday morning,
some forty hours, the court had
held before the jury an unneces-
sary threat of fatigue and de-
lay. It is generally taken for
granted, however, that the mo-
tion for a new trial will be over
ruled. The case will doubtless
then be taken to the Supreme
Court on the numerous except
ions filed by defense counsel.
Opelousas people are satisfied
with the status of Affairs.
