The Marshal then said he would have to assume the responsibility, as he was in duty bound to do, and entered the second charge of buglary. I know too well ray position towards this community, to release a man (if it were in my power), who might repeat his offense, to say the least, if we are to judge his future by his past. It is a great deal that he has my forgiveness, as a Christian for the wrong he did to me personally, but as a citizen in the discharge of his duties, I cannot and will not make it the least effort to liberate him. To those whose hearts are bleeding and whose eyes are swollen by the sorrow he brought upon them,
I offer my sincere sympathies, but for those who may censure my course in this matter, my contempt is unbounded. Respectfully, A.G. Pieri.

Hancock County Circuit Court convened in Bay St. Louis, the county seat, for the spring term Monday morning, Judge J.H. Neville on the bench, with Hon. J.H. Neville
prosecuting attorney. The docket was remarkably light which speaks volumes to the credit of our people. The local attorneys and those of the sea coast and neighboring counties were in attendance. Court adjourned Wednesday morning. Among the cases disposed of was that of Wm.
Thorn, burglary, one year in State penitentiary; the case of Victor Landrieu was dismissed; the appeal of Dr. L.H. von Gohren, charged with trespassing by Miss Neige Cannard, the jury reversed the decision of the lower court by bringing in a verdict of acquittal. Other cases of minor importance were disposed of. Mr. Reuben Brown was foreman of the Grand Jury. (SCE 04/29/1893)
Pieri, A. G., coming to Bay St. Louis in 1863, he opened up his drug establishment and he defied anyone to show a nicer line of pure drugs than he keeps in stock. He is the oldest druggist in the city in practice, and he is registered in both Alabama and Mississippi, being a pharmacist of great ability. Physicians find it to their advantage to send customers here to have prescriptions filled as they are' always carefully compounded at any hour of the day or night, and when a prescription is laid on his prescription case, you may be rest assured that it will be filled accurately for he always keeps a stock of drugs that will admit of it, and as his drugs are fresh and full strength. One reason for this is that he has such a large (business) that he keeps nothing until it becomes stale, but if he finds he has that is not of the best quality, he prefers to sacrifice it rather than the good name of his store and his record as a prescriptionist. It is not often that one has the privilege of visiting such a complete drug store as this but Mr. Pieri knows the people will be pleased with and this he considers it his duty to give them and in that way is sure to receive a liberal patronage. As you enter the store you will see to the right the soda water department, and having drunk "the soda" here we think we may ,speak from experience, and it all goes on the plan "the proof of the pudding is the eating."
