4th. part

Dr. Homer Dupuy, who was near Mr. Henshaw, said that the young planter will 
soon recover.

Dr. Dupuy gave first aid to the injured on the scene of the disaster. He was in 
the Casino when he heard a great outcry, and some one shouted for a doctor, as 
several people had been hurt.

"I hastened to the assistance of theinjured," said Dr. Dupuy, "and when I came 
near the dismantled car I saw several people lying down, some groaning, others 
rolling about as if badly hurt, and one man quite still. I examined the man who 
was lying so quiet, and saw that he was dead. I recognized Mr. Suberbielle, a 
friend of mine from New Iberia, as I am a native of that town, and came thence 
to this city to practice medicine. Then I turned my attention to the wounded, 
and helped to bandage and to relieve two or three of them. I assured them that 
they were not badly hurt. Some one then mentioned the name Henshaw, and I 
looked about and recognized Harold Henshaw, a good friend of mine also lying 
down, and seeming to be seriously hurt, I quickly approached and examined him. 
I found that he was suffering more from shock than from any bodily injury, and 
I had him placed in a carriage and I took him to the Sanitarium."

An incident showing the workings of fate is told in connection with the affair. 
Messrs. Suberbielle and Henshaw dined together and were at the Cosmopolitan 
Hotel cigar stand, with other friends, discussing plans for the evening. The 
party decided to go and see the fireworks, and left after the verdict was 
reached. The Iberians changed their minds in the next few moments, and the car 
they took bore them to the fatal scene.
