Attorneys Rosenthal and Perrin
objected to most every question
asked and were oyerruled. The
Jeff Davis murder indictment was
offered in evidence against obiec-
tion of defense. to show that the
warrant under which deceased
sheriff acted in his attempt to ar
rest accused was a lawful one.
1t was shown that Carriere broke
out Of the Jennings Jail on April
Is. On the Friday before the kill
ing, Sheriff Fontenot mailed a war
rant to Sheriff Swords for the ar
rest of Carriere.
Armand Manuel. farmer. living
some two miles west of Mallet
Woods, in Evangeline parish, testi-
fled he saw Carriere in the woods
with party whom ee believed was
Octave Moreau, and talked with
him a few days before the killing.
Questioned as to threats Carriere
made to him against anv one try
ing to arrest him. the defense OBJ
.iected; the state temporarily with
drew the witness.
Charles B. Chachere. chief deputy
under Sheriff Swords, and present
deputy under Sheriff Fontenot,
member of the ill-fated posse
which went to apprehend Carriere,
took the witness stand as probably
the states main witness.
Chachere gave in detail re-
cital of the events on the fatal Mon
day morning and the events lead
ing up thereto, beginning with his
telephoning Sheriff Fontenot at
Jennings for warrant against Car
riere at the request of Sheriff
Swords on Wednesday prior to the
tragedy, and winding up with the
tragedy itself. His testimony de-
yeloDed no specially new features
over accounts previously known
and published.
The gist Of his testimony was his
positive statement that when Car
rlere came out of the house at Pot
Cove about a. M, and before the
shooting he called out to Carriere,
Haiti Throw up your hands: I'm
an officer; I've got you old boy
He and Garriere shot at about the
same time. after which Carriere
lodged zigzaz towards the cornfield.
He was absolutely positive Car
.flere shot Swords and the mulat-
toes, Durousseau and st. Andre.
He traced the affray by a blue
print for the benefit Of the jury.
Attorney Perrin cross-examined
vigorously and was threatened by
the court for contempt and made
to apologize to the witness for
some of his remarks.
Ghacheres testimony was not
shaken on any material point. He
was finally excused, subject to re-
call.

Three WIVES CLAIM
PEORIA MANS ESTATE
EACH IGNORANT OF THE EXIS-
TENCE OF OTHER UNTIL
DEATH OF HUSBAND.

Peoria, Ill.,, April 9.-Three wives
have appeared to claim the estate of
J. Frank Pierce. an employe of the
Peoria Terminal Railway, who was
killed a few days ago in an accident
on the road. None Of the. wives
knew of the existence of the other.
Mrs. Mary Pierce married Pierce last
October, lived with him until the
time of his death, made funeral ar
rangements and was about to bury
the body when another Mrs. Pierce
arrived at the undertaking parlors
and claimed the body as that Of her
husband. The second Mrs. Pierce,
who was Miss Edna Stone. says she
4 married Pierce year ago.
It appears. after the two women
compared notes. that Pierce had been
living with both of the women part
of the time during the last few
months. When the facts of the dou-
Sble life of Pierce became known,
some of his former friends appeared
in court. telling Of another woman
Pierce married few years. Her claim
has been presented in court, and It
is probable that the third Mrs. Pierce
is entitled to the estate.
Suit. it is said. by the third Mrs.
Pierce will be commenced against the
Peoria Terminal Railway Company
in an effort to collect damages.
Although the Mrs. Pierces knew
nothing of the other, 1t is said that
they talked freely of the case, holding
no i'll feeling. Each apparently was
as surprised as the other to find that
they had been tricked. Pierce was
we'll known in Peoria. highly respect
ed. and his most intimate friends de-
clare he never disclosed to anyone
the fact of his three marriages. The
three women lived within few miles
of each other.

TO THE POULTRY DEAL

Don't forget the next poultry de.
livery at Hartford and Beaver Dam
on April the 18th and 18th, and a,
Centertown, April 18th, p. M, and
April 14th, all day.
Remember all poultry can be de.
livered at pooled prices whether you
have signed the pledge or not, as the
purchaser has agreed to take the out
side poultry, or In other words, this
Is done In order to avoid confusion
at the car and to give every one a
chance to take advantage of the high
prices.
Thirteen cents was the maximum
rrice up until the day the pool was
bought and is yet except in terrific
ries where the pool has raised the
price. This raise was compelled by
other produce firms in order to get
poultry and weaken the organiza-
tion.
Don't forget that the buyer of this
pool bid the highest prices and that
others have bid more on the day of
delivery to buy you, and not to pay
more for your poultry; that 1t is
costing the pool buyer more than
the other fellow. since he pays to
the organization " per cent. to
pay your dues so that the organiza-
tion may be maintained, and that
this is paid above the sale price,
which is as follows: Hens $14.3O,
Cocks &c, Ducks s14.3O, Turkeys
Ice, Geese 12c, Guineas 25c each.
So now don't sell yourself but deliv-
er the goods to the pool car and save
