HOoKwNKNG JUSTICE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
We notice In your issue of to-day an article headed
s'Hoodwinktng Justice" revealing the modus 0pe-
Tandt by which the criminal classes slip through
the meshes OF the law and evade the punishment
due to their crimes. In the case Of this man Hart
we were particularly interested mis- forte consists
In adroitiy abstractin9 valuables from
dangerous class OF thieves, to whose depredations
We are constantly exposed, and who generally
succeed in escaping with their plunder. In this
case where no possible doubt could exist to the
mans guilt caught in the act, the property found
on his person. and well known as q professional
thief, who mas accumulated wealth IN this pro.
fessl0n We ask, Who1s responsible tnat within q
few days he should be liberated to prey on the CON-
munity, ON the nominal bail Of half the amount ne
stOles or course he forfeited his bail and the
dropped. We claim that, with the rest Of the TAX
paying community, we have a right to some pro-
lection for our property and that the authorities
should not have rested satisfied with the state
ment OF the prisoners counsel that Hart was con.
fined In M0yamansing Prison, which appears to
nave had no better foundation than thai one Of
Hart's ''paIs" had said SO. Within two weeks past
this man has been seen and recognized on Broad
way, and no doubt could be easily found and re-
had been stimulated by some ample reward TO q
warmer interest In the matter than that OF simple
abstract justice. protection to patient and long
suffering community.

ing, the government had determined with its whole
power 70 prevent any interference on the part OF
the Haytien or any other government with that OF
the Dominicans; and II any attempt should be made
upon the Dominicans during the negotiations under
the Haytien or any other fag it would be regarded

and Secretary OF State expressed the hope that
friendly relations now existing between Iayti and
the United States would NOT be interrupted, and
that whfie they were aware Of their weakness they
knew their rights and would MAINTAIN them to the
best OF their ability, ana that they must be allowed
to be the judges OF their own policy Admiral Poor
afterward learned, unolrcially that the authorities
were displeased with what they considered men
ace on the part OF the United states government
cOmpanled by force.

WHO ROBBED THE DsADf

The hearing Of evidence in the charge against officer
Martin Coffee, OF the Twentieth precinct, for not
turning In valuable gold watch seen on the body
OF Thomas J. Flynn, when found on the Sd inst, at
the foot OF West Thirty street, was concluded
before Commissioner Brennan yesterday morning.
Two witnesses swore that while tho body was
In C0Hees custody, and only he, they and
. boy present. he ordered them away. They
proceeded across the street and saw Coffee
stopping over towards the body, but did
not know whether he was near enough TO touch 1t.
All the evidence in the case establishes the following
points:-First, when Mr.. Flynn's body was found ne
had valuable gold watch; second 1t was put back
In the pocket IN the presence OF number OF cti-
xens ana Oficer McQuade who turned the body over
to Cofree; third, It was In the pocket whom Coree
took the custody OF the corpse ana was gone when
he and others lifted Il out OF the water. Conso-
Quenty somebody stole 1t, as the ground was exa-
mined 1T low tide and tt could not be found. 1t ID
barely possible that OF the citizens who helped
to lift the remains from the water Dy dextr0us
movement slipped the watch out, or 1t may have
dropped out and oeen picked up by some dishonest
