hanged I'm New Orleans IN the SOS. ms
story was the sensation Of the time, but
has been long forgotten now.
Deschamps was q dentist, and, It Is
said, q good one. He practiced I'm New
Orleans for a time, then became an
itinerant practitioner, travelling through
the rich territory which lay along Bayou
LafOurche, where he attended the
families Of the plantation owners.
He was pioneer in painless" dentistry,
using chlOroform and hypnotism to
among the islands Of the coast, Once
the hiding place Of the buccaneers,
he discovered some old coins and
trinkets buried in the sand. From
that moment he was q changed man;
his imagination was infiamed with the
idea Of locating fabulous riches.
He had ne faith in divining rods, but
he was sure that his powers as hypno-
tist would serve him wen. But he must
find q suitable subject"
Filled with this idea, ne returned to
New Orleans and there became &C.
quainted with the father Of the girl who
was to become his pitiful victim. The
father, trusting the doctor, allowed the
young girl-she was not yet 16--to spend
long hours In the doctors house. The
dentist lived IN an old Spanish dwelling
at TIA st. Peter street, house Of barred
doors and high walls, where it was pos
sible to insure perfect privacy. Under
his training the girl was frequently put
to sleep.
Soon he made a secret expedition to
the islands on the Gulf Coast, taking the
girl with him. At his subsequent trial
he told Of long nights spent in the dark
woods, where the girl, sleeping yet
animate, wandered from place to place
trying TO obey his commands. He be-
lieved that she would eventually point
out the spot where the treasure lay.
Her failure TO do so enraged the half
crazed man; and there in the dark
swamps he beat and tortured the half
conscious girl.
He brought her back to New Orleans,
believing that she somehow was resist
ing him, and IN the house In st. Peter
street he began to try other experiments

IN order to bring her more completely
under his control.
Her father suspected nothing; he was
20 sure that the doctor was trustworthy
that he allowed another, and younger,
daughter to go sometimes to the doctors
house. Finding that the older girl did
not respond quickly enough to his hyp-
motto powers, DR.. Deschamps was now
forced to give her chloroform In order
to put her TO sleep. One day, as the
smaller girl watched, he gave the older
sister too much Of the drug. She died.
The dentist was overcome with horror:
he cried and became hysterical-as well
he might. When the body was prepared
for burial It was found to be covered
with bruises and scars, some not yet
healed. DR.. DeSchamps was charged
with murder.
He was found guilty on two counts,
and was sentenced to hang. He was q
difficult prisoner, quarreling with every
one, including his own lawyers. After
his conviction he tried to bride the jailer
TO let him escape, promising to divide
Lafitte's treasure with him-as soon as
he found it. This attempt failing, DR..
Deschamps went, railing and cJrsing
his fate, to the scaffoId.
In 1915 Henry BOudreaux, an Acadian
Of Abbeville, La, tried hypnotism in an
attempt to locate the treasure. There
was much excitement in the locality as
he made these attempts, using little
Negro boy for his subject" However,
no fatalities resulted this time, and
Boudreaux actually found an old silver
platter at a spot pointed out. AS the
news spread hundreds joined in the
search, using divining rods and other
devices. But nothing more was found.
In 1925 a newspaper dispatch to 1.-The
TimeS-Picayune" from Abbeville told OF
another epidemic OF treasure hunting,
in which trees were uprooted with
dynamite on Pecan Island.
Treasure hunting fever" the dispatch
concluded, has not been at SO high q
pitch since Henry Boudreaux and the
hypnotized Negro boy found the silver
platter and the Dutch oven"
At that time a vast treasure was re-
ported found ut Pecan Island; and rs

the plans Of the invading army and
offered the services Of himself and his
men to the United States. Gen. Andrew
Jackson accepted the offer, and the
Baratarians played their part in defeat
ing the British ON the plains Of Chal-
mette. Pardoned for all past crimes by
President Madison, LATTE became a.pop-
ular hero.
But responsibility bored him, 50 he
turned again TO an outlaws life. This
time he set up his gaudy pirates king
dom at Galveston Island, on the coast
Of Texas. For a brief time he became
known as "the terror Of the Gulf" and
played havoc with Spanish shipping
and was not above little piracy against
even American vessels. At last the United
States sent an armed cruiser to Calves
ton and ordered LATTE and his men to
go. LATTE shrugged his shoulders and
accepted the inevitable; he had played
his game and lost His exile was part
Of the game. He died few years later.
LATTE has been the hero, or villain, of
a score of novels; some of the writers
have portrayed him as a fearless, guilt
less gentleman, great lover, or a gay
deceiver; others have made him a
cOwardly and bIoodthirsty pirate. He
has also become figure In the folklore
Of America, and hundreds of legendary
tales persist. And even today-aS we
said I'm the beginning-men are digging
for the vast treasure which he Is said
to have buried on the shores Of the Gulf
OF Mexico.
There was one man who spent his
whole life in fruitleSs search. HlS name
was Newell, and he was printer, Of New
Orleans. In 1851, OF Whereabouts, Newell's
father befriended an old sea-farfng man,
who I'm return for his kindness gave the
elder Newell a map showing where
Lafatte had hidden his doubloons. The
father died, but the son devoted his life
to a search for gold. It became his only
interest. He had little money, 80 he
worked at his trade until he had earned
enough to at out an expedition. But
and there Is always q but" in these
stories "tae winds and tides were 90
constantly shifting the sandy islands
that he could never be sure which one
his chart called for" Half dozen times
ne returned pennileSs to his work, saved,
and left again for new start. he kept
mp the search for 20 years, but never lost
hope. He was drowned at last when a
troDical hurricane Swamped his sailbOat.

this was Lafitte's territory the treasure
was, Of course, Lefitte's long-Iost cache.
Hundreds waited for the gold hunters to
emerge from the swamps; but when they
came out at last 1t was found that they
were empty handed.

u 4 notice:
'Bunkie, La, March 4, 193O-Tho
proverbial end Of the rainbow story came
true yesterday for Forest Normands
Avoyelles Parish farmer, when he plOwed
up a pot of silver coins on his farm near
here. While blowing he noticed q few
coins turned up, and upon investigation
unearthed an old iron pot, rusty with
age, containing more than 5000 pieces
of Spanish silver, coins dated from 1868
80 1905. Included In the find was an
American silver dollar bearing the date
1904 with the likeness Of George Wash
ington thereon"
This dispatch was printed on the first
page Of every newspaper In the Gulf
coast region that day, and everywhere
men read it and said, 'Tefitte!" For any
treasure is Lafitte's treasure, so strong
is the legend of the buccaneer The
farmers good luck was even greater than
It appeared to be, for some of the coins
were extremely valuable, and the dollar
dated 1904 brought $500 from collector.
This find was made only few months
ago, and again the treasure seekers be-
gan their mysterious expeditions. Adj
vertisements appeared in the classified
columns of the New Orleans papers:
Buried treasures accurately located by
radio!" and went on to describe these
devices as being reasonably priced and
easy to operate. Free demonstrations
were given. Huge crowds attended.
In the town Of Baton Rouge a man
with one OF these ground radios" gave
demonstrations before an excited group.
A treasure which the machine indicated
proved to be metallic coffin containing
the body Of some Spanish officer, in per-
feet preservation after a century in the
earth. But the expected gold and silver
failed to materialize.
But extravaganza stories are whispered
about, and still the search goes on. Dur
ing the last year, when have been busy
with Laf1tte's letters and papers in an
attempt to compile biography, no less
than six treasure maps have been shown
to me; and the owner of each one be-
lleves-and believes f1rmIy-that some

Boston, Aug. 12 CP,-Joe Stefano- sky, farm hand, wanted in connec- ton with the slayings of MT. and Mrs, William Stefanovicz, an elderly StoW couple, by whom he had been employed, was arrested today in a down town hardware store.
 At police headquarters Stefanosky unhesitatingly admitted his identity to perintendent Of Police Mehael II Crowley. He said he had left the StcfanoyiCZ farm a week ago last Wednesday and that the slain cou- pie left two weeks before He pro- tessed inability to read English and conducted for him.
 Stefanosky's arrest was made by two patrolmen on telephoned tip. He was making a purchase when they accosted him and he offered no resistance.
 A preliminary examination of Ste fanosky failed to bring an eXplana- ton of the sale by him of two calves from the farm during the ab- sence of his employers. Police have alleged he sold other animals and equipment on the farm since the dis appearance of the Stefanopiczs.
 State police and authorities of Stow had conducted q wide search for Stefanosky since last week. when blood stains and indications of struggle in the empty farmhouse were found. Neighbors of the cou- pie said they had been told by Ste fanoSky they had gone to Chicago.
 Their bodies were found last sun day in shallow grave in q secluded spot on the farm There were indi- catio"s they had been slain by blows on the head with an axe.
