THANKS HIS FRIENDS
For I'sing Their Influence to Have Hiin
Freed of Crime Charge.
To The Chronicle : I wish to take
this opportunity to thank the good citi-j
zc n s and officials of Camden for the kind
intercession and consideration that they
h^|_ve_ _ employed in iny behalf. Ih releiv
JnjJf fne of further humiliation under a
charge of which I positively declare my-!
self to be innocent. We learn that J
the primary aim of society is to protect
(he individual in the enjoyment <>f his
absolute rights and I am quite sun- that'
fur on re I have been made to feel and
appreciate the protecting hand of society.
Although I am relieved of further humili
ation. I don't want that those who in
terc<*ded in ni># behalf should feel that
they have eugagod in a mission of
mercy ; for 1 hnve done no wrong, but
rather I want them to feel and uu'ler
that ?t??*?r* hn* been n mission
of justice.
My manner of life from my youth
known by ali the people of Camden,
who know me. if they would but testify,
a* many havt> done, cnuM not but say
it beyond reproach. Voluntarily g- ing
into the t?ervice of my country it is true
that I came under the hardening in
fluences .>f soldier life, but as there
always remains one point of perfect
stillness in the heart of a cyclone, no
have I retained, even in the fervor of
action, and in the mi<W of degrading
influences, those elevating ideals of h
life of honor and sertice. as a lamp,
in a sheltered spot. Much reference
has been made to my military service
and distinction upon the field of battle.)
?14 ? I ? have ? 'loite ? anvthmg ? worthy ? <>f
public commendation. I am glad. For
that I do not ask any com pe illation.
I have only donr* my duly, but I 'do
a?k and expect the privilege of enjoy
ing peacefully the rights of a citizen.
*Tis true that "justice while she winks
at crime, stumbles. on innocence some
times," but even so that fact does not
relieve the unfortunate victim of the
suffering and jtximiliation caused by the
accirsation and sometimes the ronTie-]
tion. I am innocent.
To the friends and citizens. both
white and colored, whose true and noble
hearts have inspired them to use their
lofinence in my behalf, I offer my deepest
gratitude and earn.-at appreciation. With
the hope and determination rhat thay
may never have occasion to ttilnk me
unworthy or apch consideration, I un,
Yonrs for t*kc* and jpstW,
Herbert F. McGlrt.
