The Lafayette Advertiser, Vermilionville, Lafayette Parish, LA. January 10, 1874
     STATE VS. BREAUX.-The case of the State vs. Adrien Breaux who killed J.P.
Duffy on the 24th of December last, came up before Judge Eraste Mouton on
Thursday the 15th instant for preliminary examination. The District Attorney,
being absent, the Court appointed L.P. Revillon, Esqr, to represent the State in
his absence. The accused was represented by Ed E. Mouton, Esqr, and Col Wm. C
Crow. The examination commenced at an early hour on Thursday and continued until
evening, when District Attorney J.A. Chargois, who had just arrived from New
Orleans, made his appearance in Court and asked that the case be continued until
the following day. On Friday, the case was proceeded with by the District
Attorney, assisted by Mr. Revillon, and Messrs Mouton and Crow for the defense.
     Notwithstanding the extreme inclemency of the weather, the Court House was
crowded with spectators attentively listening to the testimony of the different
witnesses. The testimony was closed at a late hour last evening, and after
eloquent and able arguments by the District Attorney and Col Crow, the case was
submitted, and the Judge fixed the bond of the accused at $10,000 to answer to
the charge of homicide at the next term of the District Court. The required bond
was immediately furnished.
