Paid Penalty for Murder Slain District Attorney Hanged
Lewis Lyons was hanged in New Orleans for the July 20 1903 murder of District Attorney J Ward Gurley. Gurley, from a prominent family, had served as United States district attorney under Cleveland and led prosecutions of bank wrecking. Lyons, once a clothing merchant’s son, faced ruin through dissipation, accused his counsel of mishandling the case, and after threats and a fatal confrontation with Gurley, killed him and then shot himself, with insanity cited as his defense.

A 2000 strong mob in Williamsburg attacked motor man James McCauley and conductor after a boy, four year old Frederick von Gilder, was killed by a surface car on Park Avenue.

Boudreaux at Thibodaux. A dubious ad promises a cure for piles with money back if not cured in 14 days.
