THE CHARGE NOT TRUE.
Mai. Syivester's Response to Recently
Published Com u n cation.

In response to the criticism made over
the signature of Citizen in a communi-
cation to The Star recently. to the effect
that the police force is attempting to de-
feat the ends of justice in the Horton case
by circulating a petition for Communication
o. sentence, Major Sylvester said this
morning that the charge is untrue. 1t is
not only untrue, he said. but such action
would be contrary to orders he has issued
in the premises. He says he does not con-
slider he has any right to restrict police
officer in what he may do in a private ca
pacity so long as he does not violate the
law or regulations, but no police officer as
such is liable to the charge preferred.
The individual who goes into ambush
to attack and villfy his fellow man. said
Major Sylvester, has his place in police
estimation. Were the anonymous letters
sent to this department given considera-
ton, many good people would be involved"
