Cornelius C. Duson
Cornelius C. Duson, (aka CC Duson or ''Curley'', born August 31, 1846)〔Fontenot and Freeland, ''Acadia Parish'', p212〕 was a legendary Louisiana lawman. He was the sheriff of St. Landry Parish, Louisiana from 1874 to 1888. During his career, he was known for his dogged determination.
==Famous exploits==
In one case, he single handedly chased two fugitives from Opelousas to the Red River. There he killed one of them in a hand-to-hand fight. He wounded the other man and brought him back to Opelousas to face justice.
His most famous case was his capture of Louis Rousseau. Rousseau had fled the state after allegedly committing a murder in the town of Ville Platte. Duson tracked Rousseau for months, and found him in the Indian Territory of Oklahoma. Louis Rousseau was captured and brought to trial. Louis Rousseau was hanged on June 8, 1877 in what was the first execution of a white man in St. Landry parish in 30 years.
In another well known case, a John Sonnier eluded capture for nine years after being indicted on two counts of murder in 1871. Several years after his indictment, Sonnier returned to St. Landry Parish. He narrowly escaped Sheriff Duson and disappeared. After some determined questioning, Duson located Sonnier in Brazoria County, Texas where he was working as a prison guard. Sheriff Duson enlisted the help of two Texas officers to capture Sonnier. John Sonnier was captured and sentenced to life in prison.〔Information and material from an article by Mary Alice Fontenot "Sheriff Curley Duson always got his man" in ''Acadiana Profile'' Vol. 5 No.5, November/December 1976〕
