The rcsponslhillty Of making an exception In
Gen. B.bcock's case. The Attorn 'y-Gcnerh
,All insisted that the testimony should be sub
uitted to him before the Grand Jury was al
lowed to take any action thereon, and Mr.. Dyer
then declared very em1ha''c illy that II this
course was to be pursue he must be relieved Of
oil responsibility in the premises. This inter
view occurred IN the evening AMI termin tied
without any definite conclusion being reiched'
but with the understanding that there would be
another meeting In the morning.
SECRETARY pnlsrOw MAINTAINS nIs RIGHTS
From the Department OF justice Dyer went 70
ace Secretary Bristow. TO whom NJ related all
that occurred. The Secretary Of the Treasury
was very much astonished and not little in
sensed. Aside from the manifest imoropriety
Of the course the Attorney-General was dictAt-
tng. Mr BH-tow was incenscd because he had
presumed 20 Interfere In matter that belonged
exclusively T. his deaartmcut. He told DYER
that he would accompany him tho next morning
10 see the Attorney-G cneral, and accordingly
there was an interview at the Department Of
Justice, It which 1t was decided that no eNcep-
bon could oe maze III any case. i"e meeting
