appeared here purporting to have em-
anated from Jno. W. Wright Of WASH
ington, formerly Indian agent, and
against whom Indictments were found
in the Criminal Court last March for
forging vouchers upon whicha number
of Indian claims were paid by the In
terror Department. The pamphlet
charges the United States with prose-
cutirg him unjustly, and duplicates
Attorney General Williams and the
Secretary Of the Interior In the scheme
to rob him Of his property to satisfy
g~roundless claims. 1t appears that
Attorney General Williams sent j..
Williamson Of the Interior Depart
ment out here to have Wright indict-
ed In the State Court, his prosecution
having been delayed 30 long that the
indictment In the U. S. Court was
prevented by the statute of Limitation.
This was done through Col. j. c.
Normile, Circuit Attorney Of the
Criminal Court and United States Dis
trict Attorney Patrick was Instructed
to assist In the prosecution Of the case.
Subsequently Patrick seems to have
suspected Col. Normile's fidelity, and
wrote a private letter to the Attorney
General, charging him with inconpe-
tency and being unwilling to allow
him (Patrick) to assume control Of the
case, and of being friendly toward
Wright. The pamphlet also contains
al alleged letter from Williamson to
Attorney General Williams, In which
he proposes that Government shall
open letters passing through the mails
to ascertain II Normilo is In cores
pondenoe with Wright, and to employ
an agent to pack a Jury In Judge
Prim's Court, which he intimates can
be easily done. Col. Normile has
written to Gen. Williams denying en-
p~hatically all the charges In Patrick's
letter, giving a full history of the case
as far as 1t has gone, and Judge Prim
also sent an Indignant letter to the
Attorney General very effectually
disposing of all Mr.. Williamson's
insinuations. The pamphlet has
created great excitement In legal cir
Giles. The letters from Patrick and
Williamson to the Attorney General
are said to have been surreptitiously
obtained from the Attorney Generals
Office through tho co~univance Of two
clerks, who have been discharged.
