DetTOH, IN Oct. 1915.
SiR-Snce my letter of the 5th INST in
answer to yours Of that date, have as
certained with precision the circumstances
OF the transaction which formed the sub
Ject ot your communication.
The Indian alluded to, was killed while
in the act Of presenting his gun at Mr.. M
Comb, by one of the party who was with
him: The event was connected with that
predatory system which the Indiansha
pursued for some time upon the Islands
IN the mouth Of the river, and which, If
not checked, will be attended with still
more dis sr9us consequences TO them. /
state these facts, not in Consequence Of the
representation which hail tic homer TO
receive fromyou, but merely in justice to
Mr.. M'Comb, that erroneous Impressions
may not prevail With respect to MS conduct
IN the business.
The Indian was killed within the terri
torial jurisdiction of the United States; q
q British officer has, consequently, no
right to require, nor ought an American
oihcer 10 give, airy explanation on The sub
jet.

SIR have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of this date. /
will cause an enquiry to be made into the
C rcumstauces of the murder aledgcd to
have been committed upon an Indian, by
party of men in an American boat. II a
murder has been committed by American
citizens, and the perpetrators can be de-
tected, they win suffer the punishment
which the laws of all civilized nations pro-
vide for such an offence.
In an application of this kind, it was un-
necessary to allude to the L7oiian custom of
refaliafing UPON innocent indiuiduaks, iniu-
res which any Of their tribes may have re-
ceivcd. The laws of this country operate
with rigid iTnpartiality upon all Off n1ers :;
and confident | am, that no dread of the
consequences, will ever induce the courts
OF justice to punish the innocent, or to
screen the guilty.
L viii send person over in the morning
to attend the inquest, in order to procure
such evidence as may clucidate the cir
cumStanccS OF the transaction, and lead to
the detection aud Consequent punishment Of
the Offenders.
