"The Bossier and Webster legislators, including the senator, are all in agreement on this bill," said Stinson. "We had three bills in this session and everyone of them have been killed. "We needed that money, but we don't need the money for what this does. If you believe in home rifle, please vote for this." Cashio objected again, and the amendment was voted down 14 to 44. Then Stinsort offered his final amendment, wnich exempted the 26th District along with the parish of Orleans which already had been excluded, from provisions of the bill.

"You wouldn't give us the money for the purpose we want it," said Stinson, "so now we don't want it at all. If we can't get money for what we have a dire need for, then we don't want it for something ridiculous. "This is not Mr. Cashio's business and it is not the administration's business. If Cashio runs Iber ville Parish, he will do a good job." SEES BILL DEAD Cashio, still objecting, said he believed the bill would be killed If the amendment were tacked on because the Senate would not have time to concur in the amendment before adjournment tomorrow.

Rep. Jack again supported Stinson, saying "it just doesn't make sense that every district attorney just happens to need $2,300." He urged Cashio to drop the measure until next year, but Cashio refused.

Fritz said Yates confessed that he shot and killed Charles L. Hun-saker, 45, operator of St. George bar on the sidewalk in front of the bar last Wednesday night.

The officer quoted Yates as saying he had planned to kill Hunsaker for some time because of threats exchanged between the two men.

The amended bill then passed 72 to 9. It must go back to the. Senate tomorrow for concurrence in the House amendment. Rep. Ford E.

Stinson tried three amendments before finally getting the House to exclude Dist. Atty. L. H. Padgett of the 26th Judicial District, from the increase, which would raise the allowance from $2,500 to $4,800 per year.

Rep. E. D. Gleason of Webster argued that the Btfssier-Webster district attorney "is already drawing more than the governor. "We don't need the money and we don't want it," said Gleason.

The amendment passed by only two votes, 37 to 35. Although Padgett's name was not mentioned by Stinson or Gleason, the Bossier legislator told a House committee yesterday he has seen Padgett "take in from $750 to $1,000 a day in fees. "He makes twice as much as the sheriff, clerk of court and others," said Stinson in talking before the committee. Rep. Wellborn Jack of Caddo opposed the bill, saying he did not believe all district attorneys needed the increase.

The measure was handled by Rep. Sam Cashio, administration floor leader, and Cashio objected to the Bossier amendments. When Cashio brought the- bill up for floor passage, Stinson tried to amend it to provide that any district attorney who engages in private practice is not eligible for the increase.
