I "oot tlefS, the second he
gro captured and tried for thu
murder Of young Fredie Lamperez
On the night Of February 18th
1913 was found guilty of man
slaughter by the Jury in the Dis.
trlct Court last Friday night
After the evidence was all be-
fore the Court and Judge Simon
pointed out the penalties to be
imposed should they, the Jury
bring IN a verdict of guilty they
retired to their rooms and N
twenty minutes handed In a decl-
sion convlcting the negro to life
time In the State penitentiary.
Aside from the circumstantia cyl
dence adduced during the trial
the fact that the accused only
four days before being brought
before the Court. with others, had
attempted to make his escape
from prison is thought had great
deal to do with his conviction.
We understand Mr.. L. w. Gajan
has asked for a new trial at the
next session. If it is granted IN
less thFaccused is entitled to d
bond he will have to remain in

The order Of DR.. Garfield,
the fuel controller of the United
States, closing down for five con-
secutiye days all industries east
OF the Mississippi including Min
nesota and Louisiana, was obeyed
promptly last Friday when the
order went into effect. In New
Iberia our owners of industries
that used coal and other fuel
showed their patriotism by CON-
plying with the order in it's de-
tail. Some few store keepers
who were not cognizant of the
law and its5celations to their bus
mess burned wood instead of coal
thinking that they were within
the law. Next Monday accord
ing to orr interpretations of the
orders of Mr.. Garfield all of the !
stores and business houses will be !
closed tight, with the exception
of food dispensers who will be
permitted to open up until the
noon hour and no fires are per-
even in that case. Manyl
Of the people may not ap-
preciate the orders of the Govern
nent, but under no circumstances
should we jeopardize the Govern
nent in its determination to win
he war. These times when thou
sands of our young manhood are
1t the front and others going
forward to fight for the cause of
democracy throughout the world,
t behooves every good loyalAmeri-
AN to give his aid and assistance
o the President and those who
ire assisting him in shaping leg-
station that will help us to win a
glorious and quick victory over
)ur enemies.
