V . Moise, rector of St. Francis d’Assisi Catholic Church, had been the victim last Wednesday night of one of the most sensational burglaries and brutal assaults in the criminal annals of this city. Father Moise is a brother ®f the Judge Moise ofthe criminal Cour', berore whom the burglars, if caught, may be tried, and inas much as it is a capital offense in Louisiana to commit burglary and be armed with a dangerous weap on, the brother of the victim may sentence the criminals to death The crime presents some unique features. The burglars, three in number, chloroformed th® priest, and lest he should surprise them at their work of opening the safe in the corner of his room, spread broken glass about his bed. lie came out of the influence of the chloroform while they were work ing at the safe snd jumped from his bed, severing an u rtt ry in his foot. The burglars threw them selves upon him, beat him about the b dy , and when, between the beating and the loss of blood b was near fainting, forced him. a:, the point of a revolver, to open li.e safe, They rifled it of about s2tfc) and then departed, Meantime Father Moise, who had managed to tie up his foot suflicieutly to stop the free flow of blood, had fainted from exhaus tion and pain, and the burglars j est him Ijing on the floor uncon scious They wrote a note, sarcas tically thanking the priest for his hospitality and generosity. This note was found in Father Moise's room by the eouk when, alarmed at his nonappearance at bis usual hour in the morning, she went to his room, and finding the door open, looked in and saw the rector lying with his feet in a pool cf blood and his face discolored from the brutal beating he had re ceived. Father Moise was loth to make public the burglary and aesualt, but Judge Moise, of course, had to be told of the serious cendition of. his brother, and the facts were made known to the police by the Judge, despite the priest’s plead ing that bis assailants be allowed to go free with their ill-gotten booty. There is absolutely no clew to the identity of the perpetrators of the crime beyond Father Moise's statement that two of the men were white and the third a negro.
