M Retrenchment Committee.
The subcommittee of the Congressional
Joint committee on Retrenchment, COM
prising Messrs. Van Wyck, Jencks. Benton
and Halsey. have held session. Among
other things they inquired into the reasons
why the indictments AGAINST certain indi-
viduals, the kentucky Bourbon Company
and Others, for violations of revenue
laws were not tried, and as to the reasons
for the great delay that has occurred since
the case was first put on the calendar
United States District Attorney Courtney
was sworn in and testified that although
he was ready to proceed with the trial, the
delay now occasioaed was by orders re-
ceived by him from Washington. The
committee are endeavoriug to ascertain
why this interference from Washing
ton is made to still further post
pone the trial of those cases, as
it is claimed the individuals thus
receiving the Executive clemency have
made themselves useful in making
charges against certain officials obnoxious
to the President, and that they stand ready
to perform similar services in the future.
The investigation will be resumed to-mor-
row. s.sE -E=eT55s...=
