The Defective ScmIbI.the new police law amd the DETECTIVES. 1

A Star reporter this morning asked Xr. J. W.Thompson, the chairman of the citizens' committee,what would be the next step in the detective tinvestigation. He said: "The District Commls- <sioners, in their official capacity, have taken no- ctlce of matters which have led to the suspension gof certain members of the detective force. This Is ]as far as they could go, and the next step, In my «opinion, for them is to place these matters In thebands of the district attorney, the legal officer of .

the government for th3 prosecution of Just suchcases as these. It Is his duty to do this (

promptly." 1"Does the passage of the police bill affect the i

matter?" asked the reporter. e"The bill that has Just pissed," replied Mr. I

Thompson, "was approved by the District Com- i

mlssloners, which shows, in my opinion, their 3want of confidence In the d 'tectiva corps of this icity. The bill affecLs the matter only as to the iofficer held by the detectives, and has no other 3bearing." ]"Wnat Is the cltlzcns' committee going to do?" 1

Inquired the reporter. t"The only course for the committee," continued «

Mr. Thompson, "Is to place these matters before 3the gr ind Jury and leave It there. The popularfeellnj In this city Is such that a full and thoroughprosecution of the guilty parties is demanded. Somany people have been robb?d and then bl=>d to 1recover their property that they will not rest sat- ]isflcd unless punishment to Its fullest extent is ,visited upon the guilty." !

Charity and Bogus Diniikonde. jmr. denekas tells in a baltimore police court ]how he was swindled in this city.the name 1of a prominent washington business man a3- *

sumed by one of the swindlers. \The Baltimore American of to-day prints the a

following account of a recent swindle in this city, 1heretofore mentioned in The Star: jKlaus Denekas Is a well-to-do German who is (

the Washington agent for Gaff, Flelschmann & 1Co.'s yeast. He has an office In that city. On ]last Thursday afternoon he was standing In his *

office, waiting for his wife to come down stairs andtake a walk with him. While waiting, he wassurprised by the appearance of a German lad,about 22 years of age, who seemed to be in con- islderable trouble. The youth asked Mr. Denekaswhether August Sehroeder lived there. Mr. Denekastold him there was no such party residing inthe neighborhood. The young man appeared dls- £appointed at the news and left. He returned In a ]few minutes and asked .mr. Denekas if he could do «anything for him. He said he had Just arrived ffrom Germany by the steamship, and had landed 1In Baltimore. He had brought over with thim a lot of goods, which were detained at lthe custom-house In Baltimore for duty, iand he was unable to obtain them. he had jmet a man nflbed August Sehroeder, who had

'

bought some goods of him and had paid $10 on ac- icount. Sehroeder induced him to come over to (Washington, and on the way over had given him tsomething to drink which had put him to sleep. (Upon his awakening Sehroeder had disappeared, iThe youth wanted some assistance to recover his egooJs from Sehroeder. Mr. Denekas told him to tapply at the polic^ department In regard to the imatter. The fellow then left, and Mr. Denekas iand his wife started for their walk. They had not (gone but a few steps when Mr. Denekas saw a istranger entering his place. He quickly returned, iin.: found an elderly man seated in his office. He ithought it was u inember of the yeast Arm for iwhich he was agent, ana uallcd him by name; but <the stranger corrected him, and lntrouuc^d himself jas "Mr. Saks, the clothing man,of 7th street." tils tman was made welcome, and stated that his busl- 3ness was to make arrangements for a supply of iyeast, to be sent to Florida, where his brother was tin the grocery business. While they were engaged {in conversation the unfortunate young German re- iturned and began telling Ills story over again. The ("Mr. Saks" became much interested in the youth iand offered him money, which the youth refused, <saying he had not yetcome down to begging,at the tsame time bursting out crying. The situation was 1affecting,and Mr. Denekas' wife began crying also, iAlter several heartbreaking sobs,the youth said hehad retained a small box containing Jewelry which <had belonged to his mother. He was obliged to iraise money, and offered the valuables as security (for money sufficient to get his goods from the cus- itorn house. 44 Mr. Saks "examined the Jewelry, and ipicking out a cross with brilliants, threw it aside, jsaying he did not want the cross, but would give \$200 for tbe other Jewelry. Mr. Denekas had becomemuch interested in the youth, and he was <desirous he should not be cheated out of his Jew- jelry. The 44 Mr. Saks" then wanted to take the iyouth away with him, but Mr. Denekas interfered,and then "Mr.Saks" left alone. The boy begged Mr.Denekas not to let the 44 mr. Saks " cheat him, andthis Mr. Denekas promised to da Mr. Denekasand his wife held a consultation, and finally decidedto berrlend the youth for charity's sweet l

1 sake. Denekas had $40 in bank notes and $40 in <

quarters. He changed the silver at a neighbors .

lor notes and added $20 in sliver, making $100 inall, and gave it to the youth. He had not examiined the box of Jewelry, but had merely asked the"Mr.Saks" if they were real dlamonds,and the "Mr.Saks " had replied, "Of the llrst water." mr. Denekastook the box containing the "first water" diamondsand placed it in his desk. The youngman promised to return the next day with themoney and goods and pay bis benefactor back.They parted in excellent spirits, and Mr. Denekas !and his wife enjoyed the consciousness of having .

Esrformed a good deed. a few hours afterwardsr. Denekas began thinking over tbe affair and

discussed the matter with his wife. It was decidedthat they should take the box or Jewelry to afriend, who was a lapidary, and ask him to exam- ;lne the diamonds. The decision was carried out, ,and it was ascertained the stones were first water 1

glass, and not worth a cent. Then came the reiaction. Mr. Denekas at once communicated with :

the police, and on Saturday Detectives Freeburger .

and Kimble arrested the youth and the Mr. "8aks,I the clothing man of 7th street," in Baltlmc re. The "

youth gave his name as Joseph Mendel, and"Saks"gave his name as Joseph Meyer alias Joseph Rlchster. They were arraigned before Judge Fltzbughyesterday afternoon at the the Central police1 station. Mr. Denekas was present and gave the

1 above account of the affair. The accusedr were represented by W. H. Whyte. Justice Fltz<hugh committed thp accused for the action of the» Washington authorities. Mr. Whyte afterwardss got out a writ of habeas corpus for the release1 of the accused, which writ will be returnable in

the criminal court at 1 o'cloek to-morrow afterfnoon.

ye8terday.The Supreme Court yesterday decided the constitutionalcase of the United States agt R. G.

larris and others, brought here from the United'

Jtates circuit court of Tennessee, as briefly stated Ln The Star last evening. The facta out of which ,his litigation arises, so far as they are disclosed 1

)y the record and pleadings, are briefly as fol- '

ows: Some time in the year 1877 four citizens ofTennessee.supposedto be colored men, although

lotso described in the record.were arrested by ;>ne Tucker, a deputy sheriff, upon warrants issuedby a justice or the peace, and held to answer:ertaln criminal charges, the nature of which islot set forth. While in the custody ot the deputy Isheriff these four prisoners were attacked by anirmed body of men, or whom the defendant Harris,was one, and so seriously beaten,wounded andnaltreated, that P. M. Wells, one or their number, ilied rrom the effects or his injuries. An indictnentwas found by the grand Jury against Harris,and his associates or the attacking party.under section 5519, of the Revised Statutes cliargngthem with conspiracy to deprive the four nrls- .

mere above mentioned of their right to the due '

ind equal protection or tne laws or Tennesseeind or their right to be protected rrom vitvST»c6 While under arrest The defendants demur- i

ed to the Indictment on the grounds. first that ihe offenses created hy section 5519 of the Reviseditatues are not constitutionally within the JurisUctlonor the courts or the United State*, but arecognizable by state tribunals only; and, second >;hat the said section 5519, in so rar as It creates

'

)ffenses and imposes penalties, is in violation or 1he rederal Constitution and an inrrlngement or;he rights of the several states and of tie people.hereof. * *

Justice Woods, 1 na long and carefully preparedlecision, announced the decision of the court, asollows: "The court has been unable to find anyinstitutional authority for the enactment of secIon5519, of the Revised Statutes. The point In 1

reference to which the Judges of the circuit court 1ire divided in opinion nnist be decided againstihe constitutionality of the law." <Mr. Justice Harlan dissented from the opinion :

>r the majority or the court upon the question ofts Jurisdiction, but expressed no opinion with rejardto the merits ot the case.
