The citizens of this town are not
laughing at tho discomfit ure of
any of their officers. On the con-
trary they are proud Of them; be-
cause they appreciate the fact that
the sheriff and his three deputies,
of their own accord and without
extra pay, bravsd the inolemency
of a cold, damp night to guard tho
business institutions of the town
against tho mere rsmotest posi-
bility that these five men might
be robbers.
Tho Post Office is a federal in
stitutiou and after the fact had
been mentioned to the Post Mas
ter by a member of the City Coun-
Gil of the possibility of these mon
being robbers and of their sup
posed coming toward our town, l
felt that [ was absolutely dis
charged from any further action
towards that institution, an d gave
my attention to the two banks of
the town. 1t 10 true that the burg
lars were not captured but the fact
remains that they were frightened
away by my deputy and wore thus
prevented from blowing the post
Office safe. Their flight being so
sudden that they loft behind them
all tho implements necessary to
blow up not only tho post Office
safe. but also half a dozen moro.
The fair minded citizsns feel
that something was accomplished
by the action of the authorities,
oven tho the robbers were not
apprehended. because the pos,
Office safe was left intact, and NC
other place in town disturbed.
The action of tho authorities be.
ing based only Oh . mere supposi
ton. a superstition which many
people including tho Postmaster
did not deem sufficient to give any
attention to.

THE FACTS.

St. Martinvillp, La.
Dear Sir:
In the issue of The Daily States
under date of Feb. 18th, 1918,
there appeared Special from st.
MartinvIlle, La, entitled: "YEaGs
LOOT SAFE WHILE WHOLE TOWN
WATCHES; LED By. SHERIFF AND BIG
POSSE
WARNED OF COMING OF SAFE
BLOWERS, Nevertheless Lets -Four
Men Escape After Trying Safe In
Postoffce and Taking Woodmen
Fund, etc. This Special,
besides being ridiculous and mis-
leading. is largely misrepresenta-
ton OF facts and vicious attempt
on'the part of tho correspondent
}. to belittle and ridicule the cit-
zens aud Police of this City, in the
eyes of the innocent reading pub
lie.
In order that the public may
not continue to dwell under the
srronsous impression doubtless
conveyed by the Authorizations OF
this correspondent l will recite aud
explain the FACTS concerning the
attempted Postoffice safe robbery.
When the correspondent says
that the Police were warned of the
coming of sAFEBLOwERS he exag-
geratss. The truth of tho matter
is that Mr.. Eastin, agent of the
Southern Pacific r. Il. at Cades,
telsphoned mo that five men had
gotten off tho train at his station,
and had enquired about the road
to st. Martinville. Mr.. Eastin
told me that he had attached 50
little importance to the statement
made to me, that he had hesitated
to ring me up on reverse ticket.
These five men might have
been workers at the Government
Locks, in Bayou Teche, near this
place, where many strangers are
employed, or, they might have
been laborers going to the rail
road dirt pit, or they might have
been any body else for that matter
People frequently get off at Cadss
and walk to st. Martinvills OF
elsewhere. That WAS all the warn
ing that any one got, aud no out
knew aud no one said that they
were robbers or safe blowers. Il
was left to the correspondent Of
the Daily States, whose brilliant
powers of deduction enabled hin
TO reach that conclusion THE NEX1
DAY.
When the correspondent fur
Their SAYS that the whole tow
was notified aud on guard he GAL
umniates because he inveuts a,
we'll rs utters the injurious charge
that the whole town, doubtless ill.,
Guiding his own fantastic self, wa,
on guard and yet failed to apprs
bend tho burglars. The truth il
that the sheriff acted on tho mos
remote possibility that the five
men who got off at Cndss might b'
robbers, aud he co-operated will
