Walter L. Coleman
Mayor City Montgomery,

Sir;
A complaint has been made at this office that you have denied justice to a Freedman named Sam who was tried by you this morning for an alleged assault.
It is alleged that you refused to permit him to introduce witnesses but decided the case entirely on the evidence of the prosecuting witness.
Please report to me the facts in the case.
Very respectfully,

Bvt Col & A.A.G.
