COMPROMISING FELONY. - Policeman
Mitsch thinks, when rich lady, in high
life, steals piece of silk from q merchants
counter, hides it under her shawl, carries it
home, and is followed, at respectful dis
lance, by the merchants clerk, who claims
the goods and EFFORTS sum of money as
the price of keeping the matter secret, that
the merchant is guilty of compromising felo'
ny and is as liable to punishment as the lady
thief. If it had been poor woman, es-
pecially foreigner, she would, of course
have been arrested, sent to Jail, and proba
bly, to the penitentiary.
The same remarks, he thinks are applica'
Bile to the man who was robbed of sum OF
money, but, for "a consideration" was in
duced to take back his money and "keep
his mouth shut" He thinks this matter OF
flushing up things for pay, and 'putting
EN- through" when they can't pay, is mo-
promotive OF public morals, does not tent
to suppress crime, among the rich, and thai
somebody may get e1posed-"frst thing yor
