Dr. Anthony Dostie, a local dentist and Reverend Jotham Welles Horton, the Boston-born chaplain to the Louisiana Convention that had been broken up the week before by hundreds of murderous rioters denying its legitimacy, had both been seriously injured during the disturbances. Dostie had been shot multiple times and Horton had been beaten and shot while pleading for calm. Both men died from their injuries on this day. (By John Osborne)
