Mr.. Dunn's Outrageous Treatment.

Some days ago there appeared in the
Raleigh papers an account of the arrest
of Mr.. Raymond Dunn of this place.
The papers stated that Mr.W. A. Dunn,
brother OF the young man who had
been arrested, was in Raleigh and
would institute suit against Policeman
Jack Beasley for the arrest. Mr.. Dunn
being out of town at the time
of the printing OF last issue of tn is
paper, we preferred to see him before
giving any account of the matter.
The facts are that Mr.. Raymond
Dunn had just stood his examination
Tor law license, and had rehearsed to
his law teacher, Prof N. Y. Gulley, of
Wake Forest, the answers hi. had given
to the questions given by the Supreme
court Prof. Gulley said to him that with
those answers he was safe on his exam
nation. Going down the street and
talking to class-mate about 1t he
said that he "felt like hoilerlng" He
did give little whoop and immediate
ly he was seized by the policeman who
would hear no explanation !; but Insist
ed that the young man was drunk. Mr..
Dunn told him that he had meyer
touched crop u liquor in his life.
The policeman would hear nothing
from Mr.. Dunn, nothing from his
friends present who offered bond in
any amount. Without papers OF any
Kind the policeman persisted in the
arrest and imprisonment. A number
of the good citizens OF Raleigh saw it
and declared 1t most outrageous. The
mayor Of Raleigh was informed Of the
matter and Mr.. Dunn was soon re-
leased.
Mr.. w. A. Dunn was in Raleigh last
week and took action against the po-
liceman for arrestlng his brother. The
case will come up in Halifax court.
Policeman Jack Beasley has been or
the police force twenty-five-years, it il
said, and his conduct in arrestine
young Mr.. Dunn seems unaccountable
