Lüders affair
The Luders Affair was a legal and diplomatic embarrassment to the Haitian government in 1897. On September 21, 1897, Haitian police were looking for one Dorléus Présumé, who was accused of theft. They found him washing a coach in front of the "Écuries Centrales" (Central Stables) of Port-au-Prince, whose proprietor was Emile Lüders. Présumé resisted arrest, and Lüders, who had heard the noise, came to his defence. The Luders affair was extremely embarrassing for president Sam, and undermined his authority in Haiti, leading to his resignation in 1902.
