The Leavitt measure would reclassify property tax values across the state, shifting real estate, farm lands and bank securities to 25 percent, moving automobiles to 40 percent, while mines stay at 100 percent. Senate approved seven measures and killed one. five passed the house. In New Orleans, attorneys seek a federal habeas corpus writ after grisly execution objections fail. The case against Dr. Thomas E. Dreher and Mrs. Ada Bonneer Le Bouef centers on alleged juror intimidation and potential unfair trial claims. If denied, appeals proceed to the circuit court and possibly the U.S. Supreme Court.
