WAS IT A CASE CF BLACK MAIL? DETECTIVES Mc. DEVITT AND FLINDER GET AT THE BOTTOM OF IT. WHO THE RESPON- SIBLE PARTIES ARE, NO FOUNDA- TION FOR THE REPORT. MR. OUT- LAWS LETTER AND THE DETEC- TIVES REPORT, ALL IN FUN, In the Bee of July 30th was published an article concerning a clerk in the Treaury Department as follows: “Some time ago the Bee had oc- eassion to inform the colored peo- ple of an assertion made by a col- vred man, who isa clerk in the Treasury department and known asa ten per cent money shark. A few years ago this man stated that “every Washington woman had her price” and that he saw none that he would marry. Asa matter of fact, this individual! has always been in the company of ladies or attempttng to persuade some young Miss to houses of dis- repute. A few days ago. while this money shark was escorting a respectable youug lady out, he requested her to call with him at a certain disreputable house in this city, pretending to her that the people were respectable, and that he had business with them, The lady consented, but after her arrival there, to her surprise and horror, the scoundrel attempted to take tmproper liberties with her, but owing to the resolute disposi tion of the young lady and her threats to inform her parents, the villian failed to accomplish his purpose. On the arrival of the lady at her home, she informed her par- ents of what had been done, and hed not the culprit appealed for merey, he would be behind the bars today. If it were not for the high social standing of the lady, the Bee would expose the whole matter. The devartment should know him, and the wretch dis- missed. Ifthe lady will consent the Bee will inform the department and then the public will know who the libertine is.” The information was furnished by Mr. W. I. Outlaw, unsolicited by the Bee, At the time ot its publication the Bee presumed that Mr. Outlaw and his friend were still on intimate terms, but it has been since learned that there has been a little misunderstanding be- tween the two gentlemen who have been life friends, but whether Mr. Outlaw took this opportunity to get even is a question the pub- lie must decide. When the arti- cle was published persons friendly to the gentlemen in the depart- ment informed the Bee that the charge was false and the person who made it knew it was false when he informed the Bee. On receiving this information the case was given to DETECTIVES MC.DEVITT AND FLINDER two of the shrewdest detectives in the country to find out whether there was anything in the state- ment. These detectives spared Well known and erterprising de- tevtives. Their report is substan- iated by a letter written to the editor of the Bz by Mr. Outlaw and brought %o this office by him Tuesday August 9th, which is as follows, verbatim et literatim, except the name of the party omitted : MR. OUTLAWS LETTER. “MR. — EXONORATED. Washington, D. ©., Aug. 8th, ’87. Having every right to be lieve the state made in the Bre about Mr. : is untree and without the slightest. found ation; and am more than sorry that I repeted the eroneous statement made to me by Mrs. Strange by whom it seems the whole report originated since she refuses to tell her aughor and says she said it in fun She told me at her house in the presence of allherhelp that Mr. was in trouble had taken a nice lady and fooled her in a disreptable house making her believe it was alright. she said to me have you not heard it. Isaid no, she said it will all be out in the Ber next week I ask her who the lady was she said I cant think of the lady’s name, but it will be in the B. when she found out where she was she kick up James Henry and told her brother about it, and costed him Mr. ( ) $50 The next day I saw Mr. Chase passing my place I haled him and aske him what was this and who was the young lady and told him what Mrs. B.B. Strange told me. W.H. OvTLAW.” There was no statement made in the Bre about avything until Mr. Outlaw gave the information; and it was not until after the report had been published in the Bre that Mr. Outlaw called on Mrs. Strange, the second time, and requested her to give him the name of the lady, then it was that she said the whole matter would be published in the Bex, ~——- me MR.

NATIONAL BUREAU OF INFORMATION, Detective Agency, No. 805 Pa. Ave. n. Washington, D. C., Aug. 9, 87. “To Mr. — Dear Sir:—We have investi- gated the article in the Bee name- ly “A Department Clerk and sup- posed to have reference to you, date July 30th, 87. This article was caused by a conversation that occured between one Wm. H. Outlaw and one Mrs_ Strange re- siding at No. 506 P St.n. w. The said Wm, H. Outlaw did call on W. Calvin Chase, the editor of said Bee and related to him the substance of the conversation between himself and Mrs. Strange and said it was a fact and true in all particulars. Now wé find that there was no truth whatever in the statement made to Chsse by Outlaw and there was not a shadow of any sus- picion to base such astatement upon, and the only cause we can find is, that Wm. H. Outlaw did make this statement to Chase for the purpose of injuring the char acter and reputation of said _ Mrs. Strange bas said to us that the only object she had was. when Mr.——— wonld hear of it he would call upon her and then he would find out there was no truth WwW. in it. Very respectfully, Mc.Devitt & Flinder.” The above is the result of the in- Eprror Brz:—In your article, “He Bows,” published in your is- sue of last week, you evidently in- tended to show to your reuders that my article on the subject of the meeting, held to send dele- gates to Boston, was in some way an attempt by me to bow in submission or subjection to Mr. Trotter. If simply making a statcment of facts, which I uid, is the evidence that your charge is true, then I am guilty. You also stated in your criticism of me, that I had said that, “If there is anyone who objects to Mr. Trotter he should have been at the meeting.” I said nothing of the kind, neither have I discussed Mr. Trotter or anybody else in connection with that meeting. I was not at the meeting, and had no part in it direetly or indirectly, though I do not question t right of those who were present to choose whom they desired to represent them. I called the meeting a farce because there was no occasion for the election of delegates, for the reason that all honorably discharged colored vet- erans were cordially invited to the reunion. You express the hope thatI am not a serf to bow to Mr. Trotter. I can assure you that Tam not a eserf, but that I do bow to Mr. Trotter whenever we chance to meet. In the sense you use the word “serf,” you ought to know that Iam nota serf and could not be ifI so de- sired. Slavery is abolished in this District and you have been instrumental in having the event celebrated annually. Ihave had no occasion to do any unnecessary bowing to Mr. Trotter, or any other official, Lam not a time server of anyone. In another allusion to me, in regard to our District Militia, you seem to have fallen into the error that Iam defending proscription. You advised the colored nulitia .to withdraw from an organization to which they have sworn alleg- iance fur the term of three years; because Gen’! Ordway failed to place upon his staff a colored of- ficer, I simply stated that we could not withdraw if we wished to, and especially for no such rea- gon as you give, The South tried to withdraw trom the Union be cause of the election of Mr. Lins coln, You know what the result was. Perhaps our enemies would be glad to see us mutiuy, aad be disbanded, We would then be deprived of our arms and equip- ments. The colored people would say we haa made fools of our- selves,and we would not have their support to procure a new outfit. The result would be ti at the white young men of the Dis— trict would receive all the benefits ot military training, andthe col- ored would be lookers on and fol- lowers of the band as of yore. We had to “stoop to conquer” during the late war. We could not be commissioned officers in the field, no matter how brave, or competent. Hawkins, Fleetwuod, Holland and others, whom I could name, had they veen white, would have emerged from the war with stars on their shoulders instead of stripes on their arms and medals on their breasts; but notwithstand- ing they were not given oppor. tunities for military develope— ment euch as that they ought to have had, and which they fairly won by their conduct on the field, we did not withdraw or cease en- listing. Had we kept out of the War on account of the injustice done us, what would you and I and all the rest of us be to-day? Certainly not editors and clerks, What we want now is to keep up the spirit of the times in which we live, learn all we can of everything that the white people consider necessary for them to know in order to better their con- dition, and then we can claim equal rights as citizens with them. A few months ago we were without organization, now we are organized and being regularly commissioned as officers of the National Guard of the National Cupital, and by a democratic Pres- ident at that. I think Mr. Editor upon refl-etion, you will “with- draw” your advice, and tell us to stick, + Cartes R, Dovatass. eS RIND SUMMER RESORTS. oln HALL, HARPERS FERRY, VA., Is one ofthe most interesting, beautiful and healthy places for persons seeking pleasure, comfort or health during the hot days of summer.
