LOUISIANA “BAD HAAN”
WILL DE JUNE FRIDftV
BATON ROUGE, La., Oct. 13.—He
la'se Cariere, who bore the reputation
of a “dead shot’’ and “bad man,” was
'convicted and sentenced to death lor
the murder of Marion L. Swords, sher
iff of St. Landry parish, on July 17,
11916. The sheriff whs shot and killed
when he and a posse attempted to re
capture Carriere, 'who had escaped
I from Jail at Jennings, where he was
(held on the charge of killing a negro
1 Carriere will be hanged next Friday
■morning.
! After killing the sheriff, Carriere
succeeded in remaining at liberty for
■a month, although pursued through
canebrakes and swamps gnd was cap
tured only after he had been severely
wounded. He was tried and found
guilty of murder the following Octo
ber. The state supreme court affirm
ed the verdict and Governor Pleasants
set October 19 as the date for the ex
ecution.
The case attracted widespread at
tention throughout Louisiana and
neighboring states because of ths
prominence of Sheriff Swords, one of
the state’s leading politicians, and
because of Carriere’s reputation as a
“bad man.” The latter had served
two terms in the penitentiary for
'stealing and receiving stolen prop
,' erty. Sheriff Swords had befriended
him on several occasions, and when
'captured Carriere expressed regret
that he had killed him, saying he
I would not have done so if Swords had
not taken negroes to help capture
him.
The sheriff, accompanied b ya depu
ty, three citizens and three .njegra
guides, surrounded Carriere in a cabin
just at dawn after residents of the
' Mallett woods had informed!! im that
I the fugitive was terrorizing the neigh
borhood. Carriere fled into a corn
field, carrying a rifle, and was closely
pursued by the sheriff and his dep
uty. In a runnig fight, the deputy
was shot and two guides were wound
ed, and the sheriff shot through the
heart. Carriere escaped unwounded.
A month later Carriere was brought
to bay in an abandoned sawmill near
Basile, La., sixty miles away, and
was captured with more than 20 buck
shot wounds in his body.

BUSINESS 001 LOOK IS GOOD
SAVANNAH, Oct. 13.—According
to Charles E. Lewis, of New York, a
member of the firm of Granger &
Lewis, lumber dealers, who is in Sa
vannah on a business trip, the out
look in the lumber world is better and
will improve as soon as stocks ’n
northern and eastern yards are de
pleted. The business on the market ta
this time is largely offering from the
government, he says. According to
him, Southern yellow' pine continues
high, but the quotations are slightly
low' in Virginia and North Carolina
territory, because of the low water
transportations ra‘es prevailing.
