GRAHAM WAS ARRESTED AND JAILED ON A COMPLAINT OF HIS WIFE CHARGING HIM WITH THREATENING TO KILL HER AND HER FATHER'S FAMILY. AFTER HIS INCARCENERATION HIS WIFE BROUGHT SOME LETTERS OF A VERY SUSPICIOUS NATURE TO THE SHERIFF WHICH GRAHAM HAD RECEIVED FROM MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO, WHICH INDICATED THAT GRAHAM WAS NOT HIS RIGHT NAME AND THAT HE HAD FLED FROM OHIO FOR SOME WRONG DOING THERE. DEPUTY SHERIFF LEBLANC IMMEDIATELY OPENED A CORRESPONDENCE WITH SHERIFF A. P. ASHWORTH OF MEIGS COUNTY, AND HAS LEARNED THE FOLLOWING FACTS: GRAHAM'S TRUE NAME IS JAMES LIVASY AND HE WAS MARRIED TO A LADY IN THAT COUNTY BY THE NAME OF JANE BEAL, WHOM LIVASY DESERTED AND LEFT IN VERY DELICATE CIRCUMSTANCES. NO ONE, OUTSIDE HIS OWN FAMILY KNEW WHAT HAD BECOME OF HIM UNTIL SHERIFF ASHWORTH OF MEIGS COUNTY RECEIVED THE LETTERS AND DESCRIPTION OF LIVASY ALIAS GRAHAM FROM DEPUTY SHERIFF LEBLANC OF THIS PARISH. WHEN LEBLANC READ THE LETTER OF SHERIFF ASHWORTH TO LIVASY HE WILTED COMPLETELY, REALIZING THAT HE HAD BEEN CAUGHT IN THE TOIS OF THE LAW. GRAHAM ALIAS LIVASY CAME HERE LAST FALL AND SECURED WORK ON THE RICE FARM OF GEO. KRAUSE SOUTH OF TOWN. IN THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS, REPRESENTING HIMSELF AS A SINGLE MAN HE COURTED AND MARRIED THE DAUGHTER OF KRAUSE BELIEVING THAT MR. KRAUSE HAD MONEY HE WAS EAGER TO GET HIS WIFE'S PORTION, AND MR. KRAUSE REFUSING TO GIVE GRAHAM ANY MONEY LED TO HIS HOSTILE DEMONSTRATION, WITH A REVOLVER AND THREATS TO KILL THE WHOLE FAMILY. THE WIFE WHOM HE DECEIVED HERE WILL PROSICUTE HIM FOR BIGAMY AS WELL AS FOR THREATS TO KILL HER AND HER RELATIVES. IT IS NOT YET KNOWN WHAT THE WIFE IN OHIO WILL DO.

Fournoux played the bluff game on him, by throwing his hand behind to his pocket and saying, "Look out, I'm going to shoot". When the fellow took to his heels. From the number of loafers to be seen on our streets daily and nightly, with no visible means of support it is a matter of wonder that there are not more cases of this kind or more burgluries. Our town marshalls should look after these suspicious idlers, and if they cannot give a satisfactory account of themselves they should be arrested and the vagrant act enforced against them. Burgurlaries and thieving are frequent in other towns of Louisiana and the same thing will happen here if a sharp look out is not kept up by our marshalls. FOX, L.
