J TO THE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS. Pardon me il I trouble you with an Affair with which your pape- has been thus far entirely disconnected, bnt in the Interests of Justice lt ls necessary that the public should be rightly In? formed as to the true facts of the case referred to In an article - published tn the Courier bf this morning, and headed "Rather Hard." I would not have applied to you .to give a space' in your valuable columns to the enclosed statement but that the editors or the Courier refused to pub? lish anything that would "contradict their own reporter whether he be right or wrong." I am therefore compelled to request you to lay the case before the public. I am slr, very respectfully, ALBERT E. PHILIPPY, Lieutenant Commanding Detective Force. OFFICE OP THE CHIEF OF DETECTIVES, \ CHARLESTON. S. C., April 26, 1871. j To the Editor of rfts charleston Courier : DEAR SIR-Under the headlug of " Rather Hard," your paper of thia date publishes an account of an alleged mogal arrest and un? warranted wrong done- to a German immigrant and bis son by this office. The undersigned simply desires, through your valuable paper, to contra? dict the cha-Kcs made in this article, by'giving a few points of information upon the subject. First. The parlies were arrested up n the com? plaint of a responsible German -citizen, not ai the hotel in Queen street, as stated, bot at the bakery or Mr. Claas?en. s Second. Before the arrest was made, the com? plaint was entered upon the "Oase Record Book" in tins office, and Immediately after tnc prison? ers had been brought in, the officer of the day en? tered the charge agaluBt them upon the official journal of the office. Third. The arrest was perfectly legal, and in ac? cordance with the authority granted to the lieu? tenant commanding the detective force, by virtue or section 1 of "An act to enlarge 'he powers or j the commissioned officers of the city guard and the police officers of the City of Charleston," ap? proved December 10th, 1855. In rev ard to the sutemenuabout the refusal of | a trial Justice to entertain the charges, lt ls equal? ly false, for the complainant, out of pity to the prisoners, declined to prosecute the case. As to the determination of the "Germau Immigration Society." nothing could be more opportune to the undersigned than the carrying ont of this deter? mination to probe this affair to its depth. It will no: be out o fpiace to state here that application haa already been made to a trial Justice for a warrant against the officers who mude the arrest In question, and that the trial Justice refused to issue the document, there being no lawful foun-j dation for the charge. Pardon, slr, the length or this statement, the publication or which will oblige. Yours respectful!v, ALBERT E. PHILTTPY, Lieutenant Commai.dlng Detective Force. BUSINESS NOTICES. THE MEMBERS OF A. F.
