AFREND OF LOGAN, To Tux EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Can any clear-neaded man, knowing the tempta- tion which exists in thia city and the many commina- tions of vice which are exhibited datly and nightly through this city, come down on the unfortunate ‘Logan, now In his mother earth? Or can apy right and honest-hearted man say that he has not peen guilty of foilies, perhaps some more, some less? Or is the lesson of which we have lately read of free-loviam 80 soon forgotten in the mind of 9 just public that the community at large should thus denounce the wanderings of, I may say, & mere Loy, as ‘he asso- Clate of thieves, rogues and murderers? Now, it ap- pears to me, and to many with whom I have had communication On the subject, that the assassin and police authorities were in combinasion to thus bring the unfortunate young man to such a state whereby they might exact a confession from him, giving theut aciue to he mystery which surrounded the ers murder, and in which taey were wofuily @isap- pointed, aud in his dying hour, alter making ais peace through the minister of God, he firmly pro- iesied his innocence. Can any man doubt that he was innocent? sor my t, Tsay yes, he was in- hocent. But if the police were not in league wita Logan’s assassin why did not the oficer detain Dunn when be was pointed out to him as the murs derer? Simply this: he was an arrant coward or an associate of tue assasuio. Again, were J. Logan a rich man, how g00n would che walis of our city be placarded, otferiag rewards to the expert ollicer who would succeed to tie arrest of the assassin; bus such reward has nop been forthcoming.
