MAYOR BOYD HAS NO KNowL-
EDGE OF AMY NAUGHTY EN-
PLoYMENT AGENTS, AND BE-
LfEVES THAT IF A CRIMINAL
SHOULD DENY HIS CRIME 1T
WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO
CONVICT HIM,

; The following letter was received
from Mayor Boyd by the Press about
two weeks ago. The publishers of this
paper thought the most fitting reply
90 the honourable mayors letter would
be the action of the United States
authorities, then in contemplation upon
the facts presented in the Press. The
Federal authorities have acted. One
employment agent is in the peniten-
tiary, two others are under bonds,
awaiting trial, and more are fugitives
from justice.
We present the letter below, with u
Few comments.
, SPOKANE, April %, 1904.
Editor Press: You appear to be
Every much exercised because l have
not seen fit to prefer charges against
certain employment agents on the
grounds that they have offered to fur
nish girls for immoral purposes. have
no knowledge that they have offered
to do this, except the statements to
that effect published in the Press.
If You should furnish me with what in
aoi"a'ioH you nave, as lar as am
able to see, the only witness that l
could produce would be your reporter
who interviewed the employment
agents, and who was employed by you
as a "spotter," and the council would
have to weigh the evidence of the
"spotter" against the evidence of the
agents, who would, of course, enter II
denial, two Of them having already
done so to me personally. The courts
have refused to consider the testimony
of witnesses who admitted that in
order to secure evidence they had
tempted the defendant to commit a
crime. and in my opinion the council
would take the same view.
If you really desire an investigation
by the council. the way is clear. The
ordinance providing the manner of
. revoking licenses provides that any
citizen may file charges. II you have
evidence sufficient to convict, you have
my permission to file charges before
the city council, as you have a perfect
right to do, and prove them, if you
can. | most certainly shall not file
charges against anybody on the bare
statements of a sensational newspaper.
Its up to You.
