Louisiana Legislature opens with impeachment of Gov War moth
The Louisiana Legislature began its session with vigor by impeaching Gov War moth as his trial started in the evening. One Warmoth judge was sentenced to jail by the Supreme Court and pardoned by the governor. Lt. Gov Pinchback, acting governor, told the Senate a bribe offer of fifty thousand dollars and limitless appointments, which he needed time to consider before declining. The legislature asked the President for aid to suppress domestic violence, while Warmoth’s Attorney-General sought a Supreme Court ruling to stop further action by Judge Durell, a petition now under advisement.

Disputed Greeley Will Sparks Daughters and Relatives Debate
The counsel for the Greeley daughters argues Miss Ida may use property for her sister Gabrielle and could deprive relatives, offering to divide shares and set up annuities. Daughters reject compromise as contest proceeds over alleged testamentary incapacity. The 1871 will favors daughters but also bequeaths to relatives and a Zitbune legacy to the Children’s Aid Society of New York. The Herald notes public indignation at the perceived attempt to strip orphans of their inheritance.
