Alleged Discrimination by Which

The Washington herald., 1907-01-11
Explanation by Given.

Assistant District Attorney Given said
last niSht that the three officials of the
railroad company had not been arrested
at Baltimore because they were out Of the
jurisdiction of the Washington authorities
To bring about the arrest Of these three
men, he said. il would have been neces-
sary either TO have them indicted by the
grand jury, or TO have them taken before
the United States commissioner of Mary
land, but Mr.. Given states that all this
would have required much time.
Neither the district attorney nor any Of
his assistants are i'm any way under Obli-
gatiCus TO the Baltimore and Ohio OF
any other railroad company Mr.. Given
stated. Il haven't read the resolution Of
fered before the House. and am not pre-
pared to answer il in full. The counsel Of
the company had promised, and seemed
anxious 10 bring the men here as soon as
possible. and under the circumstances
nothing further was done I'm the matter.

The Washington herald., 1907-01-11

is no doubt in my mind that they
are. there has been rank discrimination
in making these arrests that ought not to
be tolerated
1T seems that the employe must bear
the brunt Of blame and be carted off to
jail to appease and aIay public opinion
and sentiment. while the men higher UP
are treated as invited guests. and not as
c0-defendants. For Instance, Operator
DutrOW. when ne entered the service OF
the Baltimore and Ohio must have filed
out an application blank prepared by the
company giving practically his pedigree
and railroad experience stating what
roads he formerly worked for how long
he was in their service, and his reasons
for leaving
The evidence shows that McCauley
tried or examined Dutrow as TO his ell
cheney, and therefore knew what he had
been and what he was, and whether he
was capable to I'll the position to which
ne was appointed. McCauley was respon-
sible for Dutrow.
Hurried TO Jail.
"Dutrow may be inefficient, incompe-
tent and inexperienced. but he certainly
was doing his duty 20 the best of his
ability. and just as his employers should
have expected he would do it. lie may
have made a mistake; 1 do not know, but
an reports tend 70 show. conclusively 10
my mind, that Dutrow was forthwith ar
rested late at night, loaded in a patrol
wagon. and hurried to jail, while the at
torneys for the railroad company ar
ranged that McCauley should appear and
surrender to the district attorney. This
applied to the other officials. Thus were
