EDITOR HERALD.
Sir Permit me to borrow small space in the
columns Of your journal, to correct article
therein, headed 9 Kobbipg a Railroad Conductor
The statement given In the HERALD Of August oath,
IL defective altogether. The reporter probably
msinormed for the conductor did not charge with
having taken three dollars from his pocket but being
goes say that the rogue got three dollars
from the pocket--no such charge made against
for only accused OF having had my hand seized
bold OF while ID in the conductors pocket. My in
tontion here is not to exculpate myself although am
perfectly innocent but to prove the version
that the HERALD gave Of the accusation. Justice will
tell. A. GEZARE.
