| The Murder at Bayou Des Allemond |
| The New Orleans & Opelousas
{& Great Western} railroad company's
warehouse at Bayou des Allemands, it will be remembered, was burnt on
the 1st of May, and with it a man named Brantly. This Mr. Brantly, it
now appears, had been previously murdered, and the warehouse set on fire
to conceal the crime. An individual who bears the name of Kehoe has been
arrested, and one or two negroes are under confinement, charged with
having had a band in the perpetration of the fiendish act. Plunder is
assigned as the motive which led to the murder. |
