people, escaped to Canada, but returned 70 tnia

on REYNOLDS, and he went about hts BUSINESS as
nsual. The confident statement was made thas
these men had been guaranteed immunity oS
the representatives Of the Government III con-
aideration OF their undertaking to tell all they
knew Is to the extent Of the whisky frauds, ano
the pe1aons implicated in them outside OF tne
ofIice-holde1a and distilers. This statement ~as
generally believed, and there wera psraons 30

said they had aeen tho manuscript agreements.

Tbs arrest of these men naturally created
great commotion among whisky men nho had
a}so confessed their crimes in the hope OF par-
don, It ia explained by the statement that IN
structions hare been received from Washington
recurring the everest measures sanctioned By
law to ba taken sgzinst all persons connected
with whisky frauds, high and low alike. An st.
toroey is credited with having suggested to
Judge Drunmond the des!rsbility OF susrendinG
sentence pending the result Of negotiations that
hs asserted were progressing between the con-
yiets and Government. I think the story must
bs untrue, II such ooutse would be worse than
U5eless. ..
