A BLOODY CHRISTMAS NIGHT WAS THIS ONE
Two Men Kill Each Other in Arnaudville...One Killed and One Wounded in Palmetto.
THE RESULT OF TATTLERS
Caused One of the Bloodiest and Fiercest Hand-to-Hand Encounters in Annals of the Parish.
Wade Higginbotham, ward constable of the Arnaudville ward, and Ozeme Roy, a saloon-keeper, shot each other to death in a desperate hand-to-hand encounter in the latter's saloon, on the St. Martin side of Arnaudville, at eight o'clock Christmas night.
In another affray near Palmetto, this parish, Charley Carroll was killed by Ernest Soileau, the latter the ward constable of that ward.
The Arnaudville affray was as fierce as it was fatal. The men stood at arm's length and poured lead into each other, and when Roy had emptied his pistol, and after having been shot through the heart, he felled his adversary with the butt end of his weapon, and bent over the prostrate man and beat his head into a pulp. He then started for the home of his brother-in-law, remarking that he did not believe he was fatally shot. In ascending the steps, he fell on the gallery a dead man.
Higginbotham, with two fatal bullet wounds and a crushed skull, lived but a few minutes after the occurrence.
And this tragedy was caused by either tale-bearers or liars.
It appears that notwithstanding there had been bad-blood between Higginbotham and Roy, they had made friends, and seemingly bore no animosity towards each other. Two men, who, it appears, had had some difficulty with Roy that day, knowing the feeling that had at one time existed between Roy and Higginbotham, met the latter on the streets and told him that Roy was in his saloon and cursing him (Higginbotham). Arming himself, Higginbotham proceeded to the saloon. He took a drink at Roy's bar, and afterwards asked for Roy, remarking that he had been told that Roy was cursing him that day. When Roy, who was in an adjoining room, heard this, he came to the door and told Higginbotham that this information was wrong, that he had said nothing about him. Higginbotham advanced to Roy, and telling him he was a liar, slapped him. Both men drew and shot until their ammunition was exhausted. Roy was shot through the heart and in the abdomen. Higginbotham was shot three times through the abdomen.
The tale-bearers are in jail in St. Martin, charged with accessory before the fact to murder. They were denied bail.
Both dead men leave large families.
