1831008897Thibodeauxville 1831. Unbound. Good. This two-page folded letter measures 16" x 9.75" unfolded. The cover has no postmark nor rate mark so it is likely it was carried outside of official post office channels. The letter's paper is supple but it has developed splits along several folds so quite fragile. <br /><br />In this letter the Thibodeauxville Justice of the Peace seeks information about two men James Stewart and Joseph R. King he has arrested for horse theft and the probable murder of a watchmaker: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"There was a complaint . . . there were two men James Stewart and Joseph R King . . .of Suspicious Character that there were strong circumstances . . . they were guilty of Murder or horse stealing and probably both. . . . They started from Iberville with an old Dutchman a clock or watch repairer. . . . About two miles below Plaquemine the horse threw the Old man . . . and they took his horse . . . and Saddlebags and threw the old mans tools into the Mississippi. . . . The horse was found . . . and King and Stewart were arrested and are now in jail. I shall feel under obligations to any man that will give me information of the Old man whether he is dead or living or any other information that will serve to an expose the crimes which Stewart and King may have committed." <p>I could find no record that King and Stewart were ever brought to trial. Also neither name appears on the historical list of Louisiana executions. This does not mean that the pair were not convicted of murder. In the 1830s <br /><br />Louisiana was one of three states Alabama and Tennessee being the other two that changed their laws to give juries the complete discretion to sentence convicted murderers to punishments short of death. Some see Banner <i>The Death Penalty: an American History</i> have suggested that this was so that juries which at the time were composed only of white men could take race into account when they handed down sentences. Perhaps . . . but only two men were executed in Louisiana in 1831 one white and one black. <br /><br /> books

They took me to the train in a wheelchair but now thanks to the balmy climate I am walking. I walked two miles. We shall unwind probably until late Jan and then return to my sadly interrupted job.<br/> "Sorry you could not make your trip to Pasadena. It would have been a pleasant change for you both. I enjoyed your tale of Mr. Pal and Shaw. Have you heard of the elderly spinster who attended a party when each guest was to dress so as to indicate the title of a book. Across her lower front was a placard ------ . The answer of course was It Cant Happen Here. Our best regards to you and Frances. Let us hope that the new year will be a better one for all of us and that we shall meet soon.<br/> As ever your friend<br/> Harlan F. Stone" <br/><br/> Harlan Fiske Stone 1872-1946 was appointed to the Supreme Court as an Associate Justice by Calvin Coolidge and served as such from 1925 to1941 when Franklin Roosevelt appointed him Chief Justice a position he occupied until his death in 1946. Stone had been ill sometime around December1936 and had traveled to Sea Island Georgia to recuperate. A report in January 30 1937 stated that he had returned to Washington fully recovered. His correspondent was Edward Larocque Tinker 1881-1968 a writer concentrating on Latin American culture. Both men were graduates of Columbia Law School Stone in 1898 and Tinker in 1902. After Stone graduated the school asked him to remain as a teacher; he did so while maintaining a private law firm. In 1910 the law school named Stone its Dean a position he held for fourteen years. Tinker likely knew Stone both as a student and fellow teacher. "It Can't Happen Here" mentioned in this Letter refers to the 1935 novel by Sinclair Lewis.
