MAYOR TURNER'S REPLY
Communicated

In yesterdays issue of the journal
the Mayor pretends to reply to the
letter of inquiry of the previous day
Certainly no very intelligent person
will regard the Mayors letter as an
explanation of the failure of the prop
er officers to apprehend the parties
guilty of the unprintahle crime with
all its nauseating details. but rather
an indulgence in abusive language of
decent citizens, who simply asked for
an explanation CT why the officers
had not dealt promptly and firmly
with gross violations of law and de-
cency.
Abuse is neither an answer or
dignified reply That is the weapon
of one who has no defense to make.

eonversant with the facts, deny that
a foul, beastly. unuamable, imprint
able crime was committed, not once
but twice Will he deny and say that
he does not know where the alleged
crime was committed? VIII he say
that he does not know the parties who
are connected with the case? Is it
not a fact that some of the parties
have been In the city ever since the
unfortunate occurrence? Is 1t not
fact that the names of the parties who
own or control the places where the
alleged crimes wee committed are
known Have these ve-@eae been
summoned to give testimony Is It
