GENES THAT ENGINEER oUFf
WAS ARRESTED BY NEGRO
POLICEMEN.
Says Duff Was Drunk and Disorderly
in Negro Saloon and Pulled by
White Officers.
Says Duff Was Drunk and pisorderIV
MAYORS ELTTER TO MR.. ADAMS

Several nights ago j. B. Duff an en-
sinecr on the Cotton Belt, and we'll
known in this city, was arrested by
Officer Carson II the charge Of drunk
enness and locked up in the ealaboose.
He entere plea Of guilty to the
crage the next morning in the police
court and was duly fined and discharg
ed Duff then Went to Mayer White
and complained that he had been ab,l5-
ed while under arrest and that John
Wilson, the negro patrsdman, had at
tempted to arrest him There has
been much talk among his fellow-work-
men about the incident and the police
court seems to come in for a greater
share of the blame. In order to set
matters Alright and offer full expla-
nation Of the affair to the public, May
or White gives eqlt the following let
ter to Mr.. T. E. Adams. for publica-
ton:
Pine Bluff, Dec. /, 1903-T. e. Az
ans, master mechanic, st. L. & S. w.
Ry-Dear sir: think it proper and
just to myself as we'll as the police
department to state the facts in con-
nection with the arrest of J. b. Duff.
Duff was arrested in a negro sa-
loon on Barraque street, drunk and
fighting negroes, by Patrolman Carson
and after a good deal cf trouble car
ried to police headquarters. Chief Pc
terson, Night Chief Perdue and Officer
Carson were at headquarters
when Duff got there. He began to
curse and abuse Chief Peterson, struck
young man named Culpepper and
Night Chief Perdue attempted to take
charge of him when Duff struck at Per-
due and was struck in return and lock-
ed up, plead guilty to being drunk and
disorderly. So all this talk about being
arrested by John Wilson, etc. is nct
true nor is the statement true that he
had collided with negro and knocked
the negro down. He was simply crazy
drunk and wanted to fight everybody
he saw.
John Wilson never saw Duff on the
night of his arrest nor was Wilson any
where about police headquarters at the
time Duff was there.
Yours respectfully,
H. KING WHITE, Mayor

age Was in the Office.
TROUBLE DUE TO LACK OF HELP

The few instances you mentioned
the other day about the local Pacific
Express company being careless in the
handling and delivering of packages,
have been held up said gentleman
to the Graphic this morning. Almost
every business man in Pine Bluff who
has to ship and receive matter by eX
press, has had trouble, and the delay
is not the worst part of it. If a per-
son who is compelled to call at the To-
cal office three or four times per week
in order t. get package that should
come from Little Rock in one day,
would receive courteous treatment at
the hands of the clerks there, it would
not be so bad l know of one case es-
pecially, where | was expecting an
important package and after calling
several times, l at last received
card telling me the package had come
| went to the office and asked for the
bundle. The clerk cn duty recognized
me- | insisted but he refused even to
look at the records of packages re-
ceived. Then | drew the postal from
my pocket and he did look, of course,
finding the package. One can bear
with much trouble and delay when
those who cause it are trying to do
their duty, but not otherwise
At the Pacific Express office the
cause fcr so many complaints is said
to be the lack of sufficient help.
