SEVERAL PARENTS.
THE Downs CAsE-A published state
nent yesterday referred to the account of
the Downs case, as published in the RECORD
UNION, as without foundation" and that
the charge against Downs was "groundless
The facts were exactly as stated in this paper
and were communicated by the Chief of
Police. Downs while deeply Intoxicated en-
tered a saloon, and was by the proprietor put
to bed to sober off. Under the pillow purse
was kept containing S4S5. On Downs leav-
ing the purse was missing, and in its place
was a beer-keg faucet. The police found
Downs, and on his person the purse and all
the money, and he was taken to the lock. up
When Downs sobered up, it became evident
that he was not responsible for what he had
done while under intoxication. He was
found to be man of good repute, and able
to command plenty of means. As the par
ties believed there was no criminal intent,
no complaint was filed, the money was
promptly returned by Downs to Warren, its
owner, and Downs was dismissed from arrest.
That is the whole story in q nutshell. The
owner of the money publishes a pointed
statement III another column, showing that
the arrest had ample foundation :" that the
charge was far from being "groundless," and
that the RECoRD-U MON account was strictly
accurate.
