10 the Honorable Mayor and Board OF
Aldermen of the City of Perth Amboy,
Nj:
Gentlemen-Sometimo last Saturday /
sold some small articles to q man with
the understanding that he was not to
return them, or in other words, [ did not
care to sell this man anything, as | had
had some dispute before.
Later in the evening this man came
back to my store Ind demanded his
money back which / refused because !
told him to satisfy himsslf before buying.
las he could not get his money back, be
HUNTED up Policeman Chris Jensen, and
returned with him to my store.
now wish TO make a complaint
against said Chris Jensen, for using in
decent, unpolicemanlike language. IN
that he used the following words:
"Why the hell don't you give this man
his money back"
"Why don't you do business like
Americans do?"
"Why don't you people do an honest
business?"
why don't you people be decent and
do an honest business like Americans
"Why don't you people treat your
customers right"
These remarks were made i'll presence
of customers. Policemen using such
language as above and also language not
fit to be seen in print, and doing so pub
licly and interfering with a mans bust
ness certainly ought to be somewhere
else, and not in the employ of the city.
Hoping you will give this your early
attention, / remain,
Very truly yours,
A. Beckhoff, 1851 State street.
