Williams, Henry and Mary -      MURDER WILL OUT

 

Paul Lizana drives a grocery wagon for Mr. August Keller, of Bay St. Louis.  In soliciting orders and delivering goods along the Waveland beach, he naturally fell to chatting with Mary Williams, a servant for Mr. Claussen. Mary remarked that she had lately returned from a visit to Blind river, Louisiana, where she had been to attend her sick father.  Paul remarked that, once upon a time, he had been to the Blind river district and added:  "Do you remember the time a man was killed there and buried in a shell bank?"  "Of course I do,"  impulsively blurted out the girl; "my father killed that man Delmas."  Paul Lizana uttered not a word more.  The murdered man referred to was his own brother, Delmas Lizana, and the daughter of the criminal had now betrayed his identity.  Ten years ago Henry Williams and Delmas Lizana quarreled over a job of work.  The men separated, the latter going on with his chimney building, he being a bricklayer and plasterer.  Six hours later the report of a rifle rang out, and Lizana fell into the half finished chimney, pierced by the fatal bullet.  His corpse was buried as above stated in a shell bank by Blind river in Livingston parish;  Williams was arrested for the deed, but after a while released for lack of evidence.  Now, he will be re-arrested and the clues thoughtlessly furnished by his own daughter may lead to his conviction and mayhap his own execution.  Paul Lizana and a brother residing in New Orleans are determined that no effort shall be spared to bring the slayer of their brother Delmas to a merited punishment.  Truly, Providence works in mysterious ways to bring about his decrees of justice.-­N.O.
