connive at frauds and protect the most ini-
quitous schemes for "defrauding the Co.
vernment."
81 was painfully impressed that Mr..
Rollins was, in n manner unbecomiDg his
social and official position, dealing with me
and his high trusts. | visited him IN
Washington, and assured him of the exist
ence of frauds not before brought to his at
tention. In those interviews my convictions
we're deepened that | was dealing with an
officer whose studied policy was to thwart
the ends of Justice by throwing every pos
sible obstacle directly in the way Of full,
manly, and honest exposure Of the Internal
revenue frauds"

as it appears to us in the correspondence,
and with the desire to express no opinion
as to the guilt or the innocence Of any OF
the parties.
