preston is given that no efforts were
made in this place to apprehend the rob-
Der. In justice to the police force, we
desire to say that about O'Clock, Thurs
day morning, hearing that robbery had
been committed at the Burns House, we
went to the hotel and were shown to Mr..
Wilcox's room. He was then on the
point Of starting for the depot, and we acS
companied him to the train, asking him
various questions calculated to develop
the information necessary to put us on
the track of the thief, but received no
satisfactory answer. We were so much
in earnest that we remained on the train
until it was in pretty rapid motion in the
attempt to gain some clue to assist US in
search of the thief but received no def
mite answer to any of our questions. We
make this statement lest discredit should
be thrown upon the Chattanooga police
force by the ar ticle referred to. ~
