DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, [

SRI would suggest that at those points
where United States troops are or may be sta
toned in your district some prudent and fearless
person in whose judgment you have confidence,
and whom the people respect, may be appointed
Deputy Marshal to act at once in the arrest OF
parties committing outrages in the vicinity, so
that it may not be necessary in such cases to
send to you before the troops can be used for the
purpose Of a1restng those guilty Of violating the
laws Of the United States.
This, OF course, will not be necessary whore
you are easily accessible; but where the troops
are placed at remote points before the necessary
communication as to the crimes committed, can
be made, the offenders, as a general rule, have
IN opportunity to escape, you will give the dep
warrants, and need not repeat that it is import
ant that you should delegate this power to none
but careful and responsible persons.
Very respectfully,
GEO. A. WILLIAMS, Atty General.
