Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1871-11-27

Some of the Cmcipnati people, who have sut-
fered from the attentions Of thieves and burg
lars, held meeting the other day to talk over
their mislortunes and especially to consider
their causes Of complaint against the detective
force of the city. These gentlemen, as their re-
marks are reported in the city papers, did not
express a high opinion of the honesty or efficien-
CIV Of the detectives. Their experience had led
them all 10 believe that the officers and the
criminals were on excellent terms and cultivated
the most friendly relations for their mutual con
venience and benefit Several gentlemen told
substantially the same story, that, after proper
ty of considerable value had been stolen, the
chief Of the detectives having bcen informed Of
the robbery, would, in day Or two, give notice
that he thought he knew where the property
then was and could probably recover il for GER
tain sum, or perhaps would ask the loser how
much he would give to get it back When
sum was agreed upon and paid the property was
generally restored, but if the owners refused to
pay, they never saw it again, and in neither
case were the thieves moleSted. In the opinion
of tie victims this was not a satisfactory condi-
ton of affairs They were, perhaps unreason-

with the thicfthe profits of his plumber and thrive
in proportion as theying is encouraged. Their
experience is not entirely unlike that of suffer
ers in other cities. There are probably honest
and hrewd detectives, as there are exceptions
TO al rules, but as a general thing their success,
sue as it is, is due more to an agreeable under
standing with thieves than to any special men
tai capacity Of their own. They have neither SO
much integrity nor so muc! intelligence as the
public are willing to give them credit ior, yet
the public does not believe in them so implicitly
now as formerly.
The New York Evening Post con
tinues 10 demand the instant recall
of Mr. Schepck, and insists in the most
peremptory terms, that all other news
papers shall join in this demand. Defense Of
the minister, it assumes, is out of the question;
but it will tolerate not even suspension Of
judgmentuntil all the facts are known. /, says;
"Before saying a word against Mr. Schencl
as public officer, We had before us proof which
appears 10 us conclusive that he had permitted
his name, as the minister of the United States,
to be used TO promote the sale of 4 doubtful
mining stock in the stock market. We pub
lished part Of that proof yesterday; the rest
