The Labor enquirer., 1888-03-31


be xol2Hd by the district attorney.
The entire daily press with the
exception of the Republican have,
it Is evident, been fixed" by the
doctor and they have shielded him
as best they knew how.
One poin. in the evidence ad-
duced at the last trial tends to
show that money and the influence
OF rich men we're brought to bear
in favor Of the rich DR.. Walker.
Miss Bogen testified under oath
that Mr.. Fisher 1.-THE young lady
works for Daniels & FISHERY had
tried to induce her to change her
evidence in a way favorable to the
"bald-heaoe1 dude" as the district
attorney facetiously dubbed the
conscienceless DR.. Walker.
If Miss Bogen did not perjure
herself in testifying that Fisher
endeavored to have her change
her evidence from that given at
the first trial. then it is evident
that the heads of the great dry
goods firm OF Daniels & Fisher are
well matched, as it will not be
forgotten that w. B. Daniels was
in the courts a few months ago
charged with debauching a poor,
innocent negro wench, and that
he through his attorney tom
Patterson, again) confessed the
demurrer" in the technical Ian
guage of legal phraseology, and
stated in his answer to the charge
that he had paid the husband oi
the wench several hundred dollars
to call everything square.
The part played by w. B. Dan
iels in clearing his fellow de,
bauchee, DR.. Walker, was not
brought to the surface at the trial
and perhaps never will be dis
closed. These things show the
kind of men who are "our promi.
nent business men and leaders in
our best society"
Another strong point in the evi-
dence going to prove conclusively
and clearly that DR.. Walker is
guilty of conspiring to ruin a
working girl is the fact that, even
before he was charged with the
crime, detectives in DR.. Walkers
interest bounded down the colored
man who had carried notes from
the keeper of the assignation house
to DR.. Walker and that the de-
tectives had offered tempting in,
ducements to the colored man to
skip out" That this happened
long before DIR. Walker was even
charged with the crime is excel
lent evidence to show that he was
guilty and that he wanted to get
out Of the way one of the most
important witnesses against him,
should he be discovered.
However, the rich doctor is
practically safe, Notwithstanding
the clear evidence brought to
bear against him. He was before
the trial worth over one hundred
thousand dollars and he has un-
doubtedly enough left to make it
safe for him to go on Matching
schemes with assignation house
keepers to ruin poor working girls
who stand from ten to fourteen
mortal hours behind store counters
for four dollars per week.
Let none be so base, so un-
worthy, so unpatriotic as to curse
laws and systems which make
cases of this kind possible. Let
none be so unpatriotic as that
they will enter an objection to a
state of things which allows a
Doodle king to violate with i'm
punity the bodies of our sisters
whose wage slave condition makes
them easy prey for the Walkers
and the Daniels.
No, ye miserable wage slaves,
say nothing and 60 on with your
tasks. Bless the Doodle king for
he gives you work and buys the
honor of your sisters with the
profits of your labor.
