= WASHINGTON Cry, August l, 1862.

DEAR SIR: In compliance with your request we
furnish for such use as you may And convenient,
trials Of the Indictments against you as Warden
Of the Penitentiary. There were two separate
transactions alleged, and upon each Of them
two indictments variously charging the sup,
posed offences.
The first indictment contained two counts,
the first Of which was quashed as not sutllci-
entity specific. But upon the second count the
whole evidence of the prosecution went to the
jury, and a verdict Of not guilty was promptly
rendered upon the merits without any instruo.
ton from the Court.
This aoquittsl disposed of the second indict.
ment, which depended upon the same testimo.
The third indictment was founded on the sub.
treasury act Of l846. Objection was taken that
1t did not contain any allegation that at the time
Of the supposed offence. you had any public
10 rnT ha
money. The court held that It was essential to
allege and prove the fact, In order to convict
under the statute. This has been the uniform
ruling Of the court, beginning with the case OF
AoNulty, clerk of the House Of Representa-.
tives, tried 10 1886 or ls47. The district attor-
the court stating that the point was clear, al
though at the same time expressing a willing.
ness to hear the argument, he declined to pro.
coed with 1t.
The district attorney admitted that he had
| no evidence to show that you had ut the time
public money in your possession. We stated
As we were prepared 10 prove by the public
books Of the penitentiary, that at the time Of
the alleged embezzlement, you had expended
all Government money which had come to your
an amount exceeding nine hundred dollars.
Very respectfully,
