On Brutal Murder Charge

fathers petty anged had cooled off
he would return"
DR.. Dreher said that after Beadle
had shot LeBouef with gun he
had given the trapper, the boat was
tOwed ashore. After the body had
been sliced with knife in such a
manner that they believed it would
not rise to the surface, weights were
tied to it and it was dropped into
deep water in the lake.
The weights proved insufficient to
hold il in place, however, and fish
ermen found it several days later
when their boat struck il in shallow
water near the edge of the lake.
While DR.. Dreher and Mrs. Le-
Bouef had admitted their part in the
affair, the trapper, James Beadle,
remained silent. Except to say that
he had nothing to do with the mur-
der, he maintained a sullen silence,
even when urged to tell of his part
in the affair by DR.. Dreher.
DR.. Dreher told of meeting Mrs.
LeBOuef in secluded section of
Morgan City on the night after the
crime when they sat for an hour
in his automobile discussing it.
I'm afraid, Ida, that they will put
two and two together and accuse of
of the crime" he told her. he said.
He anticipated arrest throughout
the time intervening after the BODY
was found and his detention. he
said.
Several weeks before the killing
LeBouef came to his office and
threatened to kill him because of his
suspected relations with Mrs. Le-
Bouef, he declared.
District Attorney Emile FuilIemot
said that a special session of court
would be called for the trial of the
three on the murder charges.
DR.. Dreher, part owner of drug
company at Morgan City. had a
lucrative practice. He is the father
OF son and two daughters. the son
a student in New Orleans and the
daughters well known in Morgan
City society.
When arrested he calmly gave in
structions to his wife for the dis
position Of his professional duties
and stoutly denied the murder
charge.

Mere Man" may bccome-and very
soon-''mcrer" than ever.
For since Indy swept the cob
webs off the clouds. opening a-new
vista to human eyes. women, along
with men, have lifted their thoughts
from the office desk and from the
wash tubs to flights of imagination
that may lead toward Spectacular
woman's age"
Miss Fern Bakersfield. national
speaker of the business and profess
sional womcn'S clubs, and a visitor
TO the state convention here, makes
this her prophecy:
Women arc by nature conserva
tive, for they have the feminine
mother and home instincts and with
them the desire to be sure and
safe" Miss Bauerfcld said. "But al
ready they are vcnturing out into
The unknown, doing unusual things.
And the younger woman coming on,
full of what is aptly called pep
! what may we expect of her? Moth
ing ordinary, surely. We will soon
hear much about women brokers
and spectators, and shall find them
busy at jobs that involve a greater
gambling element. In fact. they
are veniuring into this field now,
but we only learn about unusual
cases"
Declacing that women have be-
come a liability unless they use their
GodSiven brains" Miss Bakersfield
predicted that soon there will be
no new tasks for women, citing the
last 30 years of evolution. from the
govcrnesS and the school marm."
as an example of what we may ex-
pccl.
There are two outstanding things
in the way of feminine achievement
now" Miss Bakersfield said. "One
is lack of faith in their own sex;
failure to stick together The 9th
er thing is the fact that many men.
being Just like women, refuse to
offer the encouragement that wom-
en-, because of their contrary ma
turc, simply must get in order TO
have confidence in themselves"
Only the last decade has given
women the courage to "get oui and
look the world squarely in the face"
Miss Bakersfield declared. Her own
mother remained at home and did
houSework, because it was the thing
TO do.
Modern inventions have thrust
women out either into careers or
often into state of laziness' she
asserted. And there's no telling
what the woman Of the future NAV
find 10 do"
And last but certainly not least
Miss Bakersfield answered oues-
ton that is propounded-everI once

raSsed masculine CRITTERS" of one

Why are women?
