William Hepworth Dixon, White Conquest: Volume 2, Chapter 9: Governor Warmoth. (search)
ht before a judge, he is at once discharged. I thought Byerley was fully armed, says Warmoth, in explanation of his use of the knife, and I only struck at him in self-defence. He came on me by stealth, and struck me twice before I saw him. The cane he carried was a sword-stick; a weapon as deadly as a sword; and far more deadly than a knife. This murder in the street has heated and perplexed the situation; for, whatever men may think of street fighting, a man with blood on his hands is not an officer whom any reasonable man would like to seat in the chair of State. In a more settled country, such an act would drive a man from public life; and for the moment, even in Louisiana, Warmouth has become impossible. How long will the ban endure? You seem to think General Warmoth dead, says one of his admirers. John Barleycorn is dead. Bury him in a hole, and cover him with earth. In five weeks he is up again. You'll live to see Warmoth President of the United States.
