Mr. LeBlanc was a resident of the fourth ward up to a few months ago when he moved to Lafayette with his family.

Obituary:

GILE LEBLANC COMMITS SUICIDE

Gile LeBlanc, residing with his brother Philip LeBlanc, about one mile north of Andrew committed suicide one day last week by shooting himself with a shot gun.

LeBlanc had become somewhat mentally unbalanced from brooding over the death of his wife, which occurred some time ago, and had on several previous occassions attempted to put an end to his life. However, he was semmingly improving, but was still being closely watched. His relatives were afraid he would make another attempt on his life so all guns and knives were kept hidden from him. His brother took special care to conceal his gun and shells, but it seems that Gile, with the customary cunning of the partially insane, discovered the hiding place.

On the day upon which he committed the deed, there was no one at home, thus giving him the opportunity he had wanted for so long. Securing the gun he loaded both barrels, placed the muzzle of it in his mouth and pressed the triggers. Only one barrel was discharged but that caused instant death.

When the family returned the body was discovered where it had fallen - the gun lying across it. The exact time of the deed could not be determined but happened sometime between 1 and 4 o'clock p.m.

H.P. LeBlanc, 55, Juror, Dies

Ward 2 Man Fatally Hurt in Auto Accident, Succumbs

Homer P. LeBlanc, 55 years old, member of the Rapides parish police jury from Ward 2, died at the United States Veterans Hospital, at 4 o'clock this morning, as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident, Monday afternoon.

The unfortunate man was injured, when the truck in which he was traveling, en route to his home in the Latanier community, skidded in loose gravel and turned over three times. He is said to have sustained internal injuries, his right lung having been crushed and he also sustained serious head bruises.

He was picked up and conveyed to his home, and his injuries were at first thought not to be serious, but his condition became worse early yesterday morning. An ambulance of Hixson Brothers was sent to his home and conveyed him to the Veterans' Hospital, where it was said, he was in a dying condition, but he lingered until this morning, when he succumbed to his injuries.

Mr. LeBlanc was a native of Lafayette, La., and was engaged in railroad work for many years, having been a conductor, on the old Louisiana railway and Navigation Company's Line. He was a Spanish-American War veteran.

When he retired from railroad work, he purchased a farm in the Latanier community, which he has operated, and where he has since resided.

He is survived by his wife, but they have no children. He also leave the following brothers and sisters: C.J. LeBlanc, Mrs. J.M. Doucet, Mrs. P.S. Landry and Mrs. Frank Daigle, all of Lafayette; Albert LeBlanc, of Port Arthur, Texas; Mrs. J.W. Tanner, Roanoke, La.

Four years ago, Mr. LeBlanc ran for police juror of his ward, and was elected. He has served in that capacity since and was a candidate for reelection in the January primary. He was one of the leading members of the police jury, and always participated in the debates which took place at the various recurring sessions of that body. He was a man of pleasing personality, and has a large circle of friends, who will regret his untimely passing.

His body was prepared for burial by Hixson Bros., local funeral directors, and conveyed to his home at Latanier, where it will remain until 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, when it will be conveyed to Shreveport for interment. Services will be conducted at the Roll Osborn Funeral Home in Shreveport, by Rev. B.F. Wallace, Baptist minister of that city after which interment will be made in Greenwood Cemetery in Shreveport, under the direction of Roll Osborn, funeral director of Shreveport.

-------------
A fishing trip ended fatally for Mr. and Mrs. Carlos LeBlanc, of Lafayette, who were drowned in Bayou Vermilion, in an unaccountable manner, some time yesterday. The body of Mrs. LeBlanc was found in the bayou about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, not far from the Baldwin Lumber Company's plant. It was floating facing downward when it was taken out of the water and removed to an undertaking parlor in Lafayette.

At 8 o'clock last night, a number of men in a boat, were searching the bayou for the body of Mr. LeBlanc. It was found about 300 yards from the spot where the woman's body was discovered. It was on the bottom of the bayou. One of the members of the searching party dived in the bayou and brought the body to the surface of the water.

The fishing tackle, hats, baskets and other things brought to the banks of the stream by Mr. and Mrs. LeBlanc, were found close to where the bodies were recovered.

The police in Lafayette are of the opinion that Mrs. LeBlanc must have fallen in the water and that her husband went after her, both meeting their death.

A collie dog went along with Mr. and Mrs. LeBlanc, who left their home in Lafayette early in the morning. Later in the day the dog came to the LeBlanc home, as if to give warning of what had happened, but the folks in the neighborhood paid no heed to him. When the bodies of the woman and man were found, the dog was keeping watch over their belongings of Mr. and Mrs. LeBlanc on the banks of the bayou.

Mr. LeBlanc, who was 32 years old, is survived by his mother, Mrs. Clet LeBlanc, four sisters, Mrs. P.H. Landry, Mrs. Frank Daigle, Mrs. Walton Tanner and Mrs. Marshall Doucet, all of Lafayette.

Death Notice:

MAN FOUND SLAIN; POLICE HOLD WOMAN

Body Picked Up on Sidewalk, Mrs. Lazroe Admits Shooting, Officers Say

Acting on a number of frantic telephone calls which poured into police headquarters about 1 o'clock this morning to the effect that a murder had been committed, police rushed out to the nineteen hundred block on Walnut street to find a man dead on the sidewalk with a bullet in his breast and a half-elad woman raving close by.

The dead man was identified as Paul LeBlanc, of 1638 Maple street, a switchman in the employ of the K.C.S. railroad. The woman, Mrs. W.M. Lazroe, of 1919 Walnut street, admitted the shooting, according to the police and is being held on a charge of murder.

At first so hysterical that she could not talk coherently, Mrs. Lazroe, who was later joined by her husband, calmed down sufficiently to describe what had taken place. According to her story, LeBlanc and his wife were boarders in her home about 18 months ago. They had been there about six months when disagreements sent them elsewhere. Since that time, Mrs. Lazroe declares, LeBlanc has continually forced his attentions upon her and despite every rebuff lost no opportunity to talk to her or endeavor to molest her particularly in the evenings, owing to the fact that her husband is employed at night.

Last night about 12 o'clock the woman told the police LeBlanc came to the door of her home and knocked. Believing that it was her husband she sad she opened the door and the man began to abuse her violently telling her to "stay away from my wife and not come around there annoying her with men in automobiles."

Mrs. Lazroe said she failed to grasp the man's meaning and told him to get out as her husband would be home any minute. She says he took this hint and went off, cursing her.

She then told the police that she went into her room, got a revolver and followed LeBlanc down the street, catching up with him in front of 1965 Walnut street. Here she says she called upon him to put up his hands. She said he turned around laughing and said: "you have not the nerve to shoot." With that, she said, she pulled the trigger and the man fell dead. She then ran up an alley and got into her house by the back way. Coming out a little later she surrendered to the police. She is being held in police headquarters.

Edward Causey, whose home is at 1969 Walnut street told police he was wakened by the noise of a revolver shot. He jumped to the window and saw the body of the man sprawled over the sidewalk in front of the house. He dashed out, he said, and as he did Mrs. Lazroe, accompanied by a man came up and stopped in front of the body. The woman was in a hysterical condition. Causey telephoned the police and waited by the body till the officers arrived.
