JAMES m'pARLAND TELLS THE TRUTH, CONFIDENTIALLY, TO GENERAL MANAGER BANGS — PRESIDENT CHARLES H. MOYER IS RELEASED.
The labor troubles which kept Colorado in a turmoil for over two years, and the high-handed operations of Governor Peabody in overthrowing law and order, aroused considerable interest the country over, and a number of articles were written on these subjects by different people.
Among others, one I. Edwin Gk)ldwasser, of New York City, was seized with a desire to write up an account of the troubles, and as he had once had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Principal Robert A. Pinkerton in Denver, he concluded that Mr. Pinkerton resided in that city, and addressed a letter to him, accordingly, on Jan. 4th, 1905.
In this letter Mr. Goldwasser reminded Mr. Pinkerton that about two years ago he had called on him at Denver while en route to San Francisco, bearing a letter of introduction from Mr. Meyers, a theatrical manager, and that during this visit Mr. Pinkerton had explained to him some of the workings of the Agency, and extended a promise of assistance, in case he required help.
Mr. Goldwasser then stated that he was very anxious to know the actual conditions that prevailed in the Cripple Creek District at the time of the wholesale deportations by the militia, and whether or not Governor Peabody was justified in permitting those excesses.
In conclusion Mr. Goldwasser requested that in case the Agency could not supply him with the information desired, Mr. Pinkerton should let him know which of the Denver daily newspapers would be apt to do so.
