TREAT ME HUMANE.
This letter is addressed to Ma/or
Kugler and tho B"?rd of City Aldermen:
s s
1 was arrested on Saturday, Oc
tober 17th and was tried before HI.
Honor,Ma/or Kugler and was ac
quitted. I find no fault In him.
But 1 am sure 1 would have re
celved better treatment had I bee;
attacked In the wilds of Africa by i
tribe of wild negroes of the canni
bal t/pe than I did by one William
who pretends to be a pollcemai
and one Hays who also pretends tr
be a policeman, and In addition on'
Dick Roberts who is the big chie'
of the city. Williams and Hays die
the arresting and Dick Roberts re
fused to let me give bond. I hat'
noi the least Idea what the chargwould
be alleged against me. lr
the mayor's court on Monday, tw
of them (the policemen) klasec
God's holy wrK that I was drunl
and disorderly and had resisted sr
officer or at least had done some
thing to an officer of which even
word is false and their statement?
were weighed in the balance and
found wanting.
The above statement is sufficient
I think, lmynnuch aa the mayor ao
quieted me, at whose hands I did
not ask any mercy. To make t '
long story short 1 live five mller
from Washington with my two ball
sisters. I am compelled' to leave
them alone at ttmes and did this orr
the day I was brutally treated. 1
told Williams and Hays of my sis
ters and of their ages, eleven and
thirteen. They replied that they
didn't care. And who could expect
after they had trumped up th<
charges I mentioned above
which they on trial failed to ge?
Hla Honor to believe. Now \p
where, Dick Roberts comes into thh
African like massacre. He came Ir
the passage in front of the parloi
where those other two students
who In my opinion, must have grarl
uated from the Philippine Islands
had placed me to be entertained un
til Monday. This was the time the)
stated that I would be turned out
I said "Dick;" he said "I am chief.'
1 says Mr. A. J. Cox and otheff
'mentioning Mr. /l. D. MacLear.
would stand my bond. Robnrts re
plied your MaeLean can't ao yoi
any good, you'll remain here un'.l
Monday morning at in o'clock an'
1 guess you'll be good If you get ou
then?you are In my nower now. 1
replied that my children were at
home alone and you could afford
to do this Tor me. Roberts said,
, "I don't care?Williams and Hays
say that you tried to spring this
same story on them. .1 told him.
that the entire police force of Wash
. Ington were not angels,
r Now here Is where I ask Mayor
i Kuglcr and tho Bjmrd of Aldermen '
t to Ma to It. and you can, that I am
i not treated so again. I know some
t of you to be gentlemen. I further
request that you adviM Dick Robs
arts and Williams not to be chasing
o me around town for I am not going
s to remain away from town on that
I- aoeount. I don't run any blind till

h. disorderly conduct against someone
and place his nippers, or whatever
1" you call them, around a man's arm
' like Williams did my brother. Buch

Another thing which is affording
