State asserts that The crimes charged
are in violation Of the laws OF Congress
and call for action on the part Of the
United bta,es, and declares that he is
convinced that Justice could not be done
to the parties in the local Courts.
Attorney General Williams has there

the law in the case, he says. 81 know
OF no reason TO suppose that the parties
arrested will rot be fairly tried in The

one will object TO the proper punishment
because they arc not convicted 10 a State
Court. While, If consistent with hi.
Official duty, tie President would b,
pleased to acc.de to your wishes, he does
not feel at Libllty to interfere with the
