Complaint Against Mr.. Fisher:
The complaint of the Postmaster Cen
eral against District Attorney Fisher
was in consequence of apparent liStless-
ness and lack of interest displayed by the
District Attorney IN his preparation OF
the Kinds case. Seeing this, and fearing
that Mr.. Fisher had too much business to
allow him to properly attend
to these cases. the Postmaster
General offered assistance by the en-
ployment Of an assistant counsel which
Fisher declined. The Postmaster General
reported this fact to the President and
was directed by him to again make an
offer of assistance to Fisher. He did so
and the offer was again declined, Fisher
assuring the Postmaster General that he
would attend to the case. BY lack OF
interest and failure to devote proper time
to the case before trial, mistakes occurred
which resulted in the acqulttal of HInds.

lated by various parties in California,
Oregon, and other places on the Pacific

of the great personal attention paid him
while in California, Mr.. Joyce failed to
find any irregularities in the whisky |
business, aud made a favorable report of
his Investigations.
