Bryan, d. j., presiding.
The United States vs.. George R.
Crump, Wm..B Davidson and Frank
Arnim. Indictment for violation of
internal revenue law. The follow
ing rule was made by the Judge:
Whereas, it appears by the records of

the first Monday Of August, 1867,
that the defendants in the above en-
titled case, were tried, found guilty
and sentenced. Defendants Geo. r.
Crump and Frank Arnim, to pay a
fine of 81, 700; and defendants Geo.
r. Crump and VIM. B. Davidson, to
pay fine OF SO, 125, and costs of
prosecution, or be imprisoned one
year; and, whereas, it appears that
said defendants are now at large, and
said sentence remains unexecuted.
Therefore, on motion of d. T. Cor
bin, United States District Attorney,
ordered, that J. P. M. Epping, United
States Marshal, show cause forthwith
why said defendants are at large, and
why said sentence of the court re-
mains unexecuted. The Marshal,
through his attorney, G. II. Simon
ton, Esq, made a return and pro-
duced the pardon of the President
of the United States, relieving said
defendants, and granting them q full
and unconditional pardon. 1t was
moved by the District Attorney, D.
T. Corbin, that the rule be made alb
solute. Mr. Read, acting with District
Attorney, was heard in support OF the
motion, contending that the pardon
cannot release informer's portion of
the penalty and costs of prosecution,
and he, the Marshal, should have col
lected the same. @. 81. Simonton was
boord -, ranlp Gov Morohol ooJ ID II
Perry for defendants, contending that
the President of the United States
has the power, under the Constitu-
ton, to relieve the entire penalty and
costs, and such being the case here,
the rule ought to be discharged.
