Acting Commissioner Douglass has written the
Nfhave received YOUR letter of the I'd ipst. IN
which you state that upon the receipt OF my letter OF
February 8. you com commenced i've suits against -
before the United States S1 Commissioners. saeans:
Black these suits were all dismissed, and you now
write to inquire If there is no way by which Mr..
Blank can be rearrested for the oGense charged
against him. In reply have to inform YOU that
however reluctant you may be to give up this case
and ofail in claiming your anticipated moieties
entirely satisfied with the decision made by the
former.
From your own statement OF this case it was
clearly trick on your part, aided perhaps by the
person who purchased the tobacco OF Mr.. Blank to
commit the latter to technical violation Of the law
in order that you might bring the suits. Clearly it
was not out OF any respect you had for The law, or
care that its requirements should all be faithfully
complied with, or fear that the revenue would be
defrauded.
am informed that both you and your accomplce
distinctly stated before the United States Commis-
soner that the stamps were thoroughly removed
from the packages after they were first emptied and
that when they were refed by Mr. Blank he affixed
genuine new stamps, thus demonstrating that Mr..
Blank neither intended nor practised any fraud
upon the revenue. Mr. Blank is manufacturer
and dealer in tobacco He has given bonds in the
the requirements Of the law and the
payment OF taxes which may accrue against
him. AS dealer and manufacturer he has paid
considerable sums Of money into the United States
Treasury and is therefore entitled conside-
ration at the hands OF the Government, protection
at least against voluntary spies and sef-appointed
detestives who would set traps and snares for
honest men for the moiety Of 500 fine, and sell
their manhood for thirty pieces of silver You ASH
for answer to your letter, that you may show to
/ shall be very glad if you will show
this to the Commissioner, that he may know that
approve OF his disposition of these cases. and further
that he may know in what estimation this onice
holds men who make business OF hunting up tech
meal violations OF law and entering complaints ia
hope OF obtaining therefrom moities and nformers'
shares.
