Show Police Reciprocity. A matter seriously affecting the honor of certain public authorities in America has recently been the subject of informal diplomatic consultation here. It is well known that the English police within a few years have apprehended many American fugitives from justice. In most of these cases there has been a reward re-ward offered for the capture of the prisoner. pris-oner. The English police say that these rewards are almost never paid. Four recent cases are mentioned as proof of the allegation Lynch, who escaped from the Massachusetts state prison; Sheig, the bank robber of Minneapolis, reward offered, $500; Kuhne, the Wisconsin Wis-consin murderer, reward offered, $3, 500, and a Detroit forger, reward offered, $1,000. This failure to pay may seriously seri-ously affect reciprocity between the police po-lice of the two countries. London Let ter. |
