Favrot Freed After Unwritten Law Murder Trial
Congressman George K. Favrot of Baton Rouge is freed from murder charges after the court acquitted him under the unwritten law. He had killed Dr. H. H. Aldrich, his family physician, over a remark about his wife Mrs. Favrot. The case sparked Louisiana controversy as Favrot previously served as judge and congressman. A special district election was held to replace the judge, and indictments were quashed due to juror illiteracy with a second grand jury declining to return another indictment.
