THE ARREST OF FRANK R. SHERWIN.


The albany Times, IN commenting recently upon
tbs arrest aud secret removal from Chicago OF Frank
II. Sherwln who had been previously arrested ny
the Chicago police on telcgraphlc order from Al
hanv charged Pnkerton's detectives with having
violated promises made to the Chicago CAleI OIL f0~
lice and with ObstTucting justice. 49, ,
Robert A. PnkeTtOn, Of the NcW-Y0rk ONCE. sald
Yesterday in regard to the charges: Il 90 not
know what promises William Pinkerton may nave
made. but have no doubt that he Kept them,
whatever they were. We were employer
by T.. NJ. Knox, who became DOndsmah
for Sherwin some five or six years ago, ior mlsde-
meanor in not oboylng an order OF the supreme
Court He was to be produced before the GehcTai
Term on October 10. We sent q man with the pal
pieces to New Mexico but soon after his ARRIVAL lie
found that Sherwin had started for Chicago lie AT
once teegraphed to our Chicago office ana toiIo"eu
by the next tram. We could not arrest SheIWln
until our man reached Chicago. just after Sher-
win had been discharged from the arrest by the
police and as he was leaving the Court house our
man arrived and at once arrested him HIS counsel
sued ont a writ of habeas corpus against us IOr
Sherwin's appearance In court on the next Monday
morning. but when be saw the papers on which we
made the arrest he consented to have the writ dis
missed, AS soon as that was done we took our
prisOno to Albany, where he now lies in jail. The
Albany officers could have done no more. As TO the
charge that we were trying To defeat the ends OF
Justice that is dsploved by the fact that SherWn
is IN Jail We were simply agents of the bondsnan,
and our papers were really superior to any others
We Obeyed the writ Of babeas corpus until 1t was
dismissed by the consent of Sherwns own counsel,
aud then the prisoner belonged TO Us"
