DETECTIVE JAMES.
A STATEMENT FROM THE DISPATCH
IN JUSTICE TO HIM.
BE was Clearly Entitled to the Discharge
he Received from the
Commonwealth.

Mr.. John T. James having made complaint
to the Dispatch that the several accounts OF
his arrest and srraignment before the Police
Court fail to do him justice, being Inspired
by no other desire and purpose in the matter
than to give fair and impartial report Of the
facts we cheerfully make The following state
ment, which, We trust and believe, viii
counteraet any wrong which may have been
uuintenionally done 10 Mr.. James byany
previous publication in this paper.
In justice to ourselves we have TO say that
because OF the extraordinary character OF the
case we exercised unusual care IN gathering
the facts which were published. In Justice
10 Mr.. James we very willingly re3firm whst
we intended to convey In our last notice OF
the case-to wit, that upon the direct in
yestigation OF the charge none OF the points
raised against him were sustained, and he
was clearly entitled 10 the discharge which
he received from the Commonwealth.
