DETECTIVE CARTER has made q state
ment in which he attempts to justify n re-
cent arrest.
It is tho flimsiest sort of an attempt at
justification.
He admits that he made an arrest with
out warrant, for an alleged crime which
he did not know had been committed sim
ply upon tho statement of o man who
wanted to have certain party taken into
custody.
Had Mr.. Carter any right to mako this
arrest?
If tho police authorities sustain him and
indorsc his action, see to what lengths the
theory may 20.
A has q spite against b. For tho pur-
pose OF disgracing or inconveniencing him
he goes to the detective Office at night and
asks to have B arrested. The detective
asks for warrant. "But," says A, II can
not get one at this hour, and I assure you
that felony has been committed, aud the
man may get out Of town."
Acting upon this mere statement the Of
fcer goes to BIS house, perhaps, takes him
from his family and locks him up.
That is practically what Carter did to
Mr.. Bonham, and this is what he now at
tempts to justify.
There is no justification for it.
If that is TO be tho practice under the
present regime then no man is secure in his
liberty for an hour.
And the people will not stand it.
An arrest under such circumstances is an
outrage, and some day some man will re-
sent the outrage in such a way as to lead to
bloodshed.
Major Dye had better call halt ON his
officers.
