In the state capitol at Baton Rouge, La., hangs a large oil painting of Andrew Jackson's famous victory at New Orleans, and in the thickest of the fight, directing tbe work of a battery. Is a gigantic figure which is pointed out to the visitor with pride as "Jean Lafltte, the pirate." His was a rotnaSitic career, and although there are enough gaps In the record to make him something of a man of mystery, sufficient is known about him to make an Interesting and picturesque figure in American history. Natives of Bordeaux, Jean Lafltte and his brother, Pierre, came to New Orleans early In the Nineteenth century and followed their trade of blacksmiths. Gradually they drifted Into the smuggling trade which was not then looked upon as a very serious crime. This was followed by the even more lucrative trade of slave running, after the Importation of slaves Into this country was forbidden In 1808, and Lafltte soon became the head of a veritable slave runner trust. He established headquarters at a town named Barataria on Grand Terre island off the coast of Louisiana, and from this comes the famous name of Baratarian pirates as applied to those who plied their trade in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1813 the Baratarlans, because their smuggling and other operations became so notorious, were publicly proclaimed as pirates by the governor of Louisiana, who secured the Indictment of Jean Lafltte and his brother. They retained the best lawyers in the state and were acquitted. At about this time Carthagena (now a part of Colombia) and other South American republics were at war with Spain and began commissioning privateers to prey upon Spanish commerce. Lafltte had an old grudge against the Spaniards to satisfy, and he gladly accepted such a commission. It was partly on account of his deeds as a privateer that he fell Into dlsfgypj yvtth the governor of Louisiana, although he always declared ttlflt he never preyed upon English, French or American shipping, and he proudly claimed that he was an American. He Justified his right to <»11 himself this by re|using to accejpt a commission from the British at the opening of the War of 1812 and offering his services to General Jackson. They were accepted and the pirate leader served valorously at the Battle of New Orleans, as previously noted. Lafltte drops out of history after the war untj] 1823, when a British warship captured a pirate ship with a crew of 60 men. Among those who fell fighting was the fapaous pirate of the gulf, Jean Lafltte. (0, m«, WMUrn N«w»papw UniM.) Ccmaeleaa Suicide Fearing he had consumption, • Chelmsford (England) man threw paraffin oil over himself and tried to set his clothing alight, His wife prevented him. He then walked across some fields and jumped into the river. At the inquest a verdict of suicide during temporary Insanity was returned. A doctor said the man's fears groundless.
