THE PARKER wINEmAN CASE.


Parker Winsman published in yester-
days Union long affidavit in regard to
his arrest and discharge by Policemen
German and Metsch, which contained such
wild and damaging charges that those
officials called ON Acting Mayor Lundy and
demanded an investigation. Mr.. Lundy
called the Committee on Police ALDERMEN
Mosenfelder and Yates) to meet him at
the council room yesterday afternoon, and
notified Wineman At the hour for ex-
animation Wineman wanted an adjourn
ment on account of the absense of Maj
Beardsley, his attorney, and the matter
was continued to Saturday at P. NJ
We judge. from reading the stories OF
both sides, that Wineman took offense at
the manner he was hailed by the police
and talked back 10 an offensive way, and
that those policemen then showed their
authority in a tyrannical way.-which they
should not have DONE
The next mistake that the police made
was in not taking Wineman to jail, They
say he was drunk-which we doubt. He
was probably very abusive, but not drunk.
But if, as they say, he was drunk and, at
first, refused to give his name or business,
they should have had no words with him,
but should have taken him to Jail at once,
and in the morning brought him into
ha
charged him would be matter they had
nothing to do with. Instead of that, they
forced this man into an Office and held
court over him themselyes-thus exceed
ing their authority They have right to
arrest. on apparent cause, and confine or
briug into court,-but they have no right
to take bail or discharge After an arrest
has been made, only the court can take
bail or discharge. But our city marshal,
for the last three years, has been in the
habit of holding court in his office aud
taking upon himself judicial functions. The
taking Of bail. or discharging of prisoner
is a judicial act,and policemen or marshals
have no judicial powers
Wineman, in his affidavit says:
The truth of this whole matter is firmly fixed in
my mind that these two men. actin. as police are
nothing more or less than hghwaymen. They were
fully intending TO rob me. and only that / resisted

Wineman will find it difficult to
make people believe that story. He don't
believe it himself. is an insult to the
intelligence of the mayor, the aldermen,
marshal, and the citizens generally. If
what Wineman swears to, as quoted
above, is true, the city government is COM
posed of men either in collision with
highwaymen or incompetent for their
places, and the people are incapable of
choosing suitable men for Office. Mr..
Wineman has done his cause irreparabe
harm by that portion of his affidavit for

Some Information has recently been
published regarding bydr0phObia AMI
the treatment Of dogs during the season
in which hydrophobia Is supposed to
regularly break cut in France, which
may be interesting to this country. Ia
Paris, to take an example, all unmuZzled
dogs are taken possession Of by the po.
lice, but, instead of being indiscrimin-
ately slaughtered, are taken to what is
known as La ToJTTiere, a sort Of recep-
ton house for dogs, and in which good
care is taken OF the animsls until they
are claimed. They are divided into two
classes, valuable and valueless. The
former are kept eight days; alter that
time has expired, if they are not
called for, they are put up to sale by
auction, and in the event OF no purchs-
ser being found for them. they are hung
up in the yard of La T6uTrieTe. The
dogs considered of less value, or moye
likely TO 90 mad, ere allowed f0rty-eight
hours grace, when they are summarily
hanged, Their carCSEses are sold to
whoever cares to EuY such csrrion st
seventy centimes per hsGd, and the ugly
suggestion is made that It is at the time
dogs are slaughtered that remarkably
fine saUssges are TO be had cheap. Be
that IS it may, it would appear that il
spite Of the precautions taken against
hydr0phobis, many very bad cases Of it
occur in Paris. Oueof these is peculiar,
ss showing how long time may elapse
before the hateful virus OF the disease
takes effect. A man who was Dit
ten by 3 mad cog wss taken to a hos
pital, where he received such attention
that in a short time he Was discharged
as cured. Some weeks passed, and the
man appeared to bs enjoying his usual
health, when he was suddenly seized
with hydrCphObia in its worst form. The
result was that he rushed into the street
foaming st the mouth, ard in such a
state Of madness that every one fed be-
fore him, and ne died only q snort time
after ne was secUrsd, and placed once
more in the hospital. French sciences |
