The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1921-01-22


of the charges made, this evidence
so promised has not yet reached me,
the Grand Jury has met, made their
report, and | am still waiting for
that evidence, and | have not yet
lost hope of receiving it in the sweet
by and by.
If any criminal charges were made
against you or the Conservation
Commissioner of Louisiana, | know
nothing about it, however, the Grand
Jury says that the Fish and Game
laws of the State of Louisiana have
been violated, could you tell me. con-
fidentially, to whom did the Grand
jury refer to in their report; did you
see my answer to the Conservation
Commissioner published in the New
IBERIA Enterprise and the Weekly
Iberian?
In your letter you state that I can
easily appropriate One Thousand
bplidiS lloiii Liie dIiiOuIt L ISCelNcu
to persecute you, do you know that
if | had received any money for the
purpose Of prosecuting you or any
one else, | would have had the COM
mon decency to resign my Office as
District Attorney, before accepting
bribe, and I understand that you
have intimated that you know who
gave me the money, now | am talk
ing to you as an individual, 81 dou-
bic dare you or any other, anywhere,
at any time, to show me that any
man or set of men have ever paid
NE any money, to perform my duty
as an officer of the State of Louisi-
ana. You openly charge me with
having accepted bribe, this you
must prove or you and shall have an
accounting!
Say, your proposition to examine
your books at Avery Island to as
certain what shipments you have
made, any reasonable, intelligent
nan can hardly believe you were
serious, try you by your lawyer, and
with your own evidence well, well,
where do you get that stuff from?
I VIII make YOU this proposition, if
you will guarantee me that the man
whom the Grand Jury had in mind
when it made its report, will not
come into Court and plead prescrip-
ton of the violation of the law, |
will file an information against him
and try him as my duty requires me
to do, l again dare you to tell me
that man will not plead prescription
to the charge of violating the game
laws, an honorable man never pleads
prescription to an honest debt, nor
would he plead prescription to an
offense he had committed against his
State unless he is afraid of convic
tion.
Well of all the impudence, nerve
anu dTfOSdilCe, you are tIle lliiilt,
your suggestion of appointing three
Investigators, you take upon your
self the liberty and authority to name
them, why not appoint yourself, your
detective and your relative who has
been reporting to you what is going,
on, to sit as board of investigators,
believe that you are a blood hound,
when it comes to enforce the game
laws against the little fellow, but
when it comes to enforce the game
laws against the BIG VIOLATORS
you are a JACK RABBIT with brok-
en- legs, and the likes Of you talking
about barking Coyotes.
By the way if the people would
believe that statement you incorpo-
rate in your letter, about some one
taking a shot at you, you know and
are positive, that the Postmaster at
New Iberia, who was present, the
member of the Police Jury of the
Parish of iberia, the dentist who was
present, the business men present,
and DR.. d. G.. Liable, who was twice
elected by his people to represent
them in the Constitutional conven-
