to the case of Redmond declines to agree to
Suspension of judgment in the following
words:
"After consultation and due consideration,
it has been decided that the case of Red
mond is entirely exceptional and should not
be included with those of ordinary offenders.
| confirm my dispatch of last night, author
izing you to accept pleas of guilty and to
suspend sentences in cases Of other illicit dis
tllers who are believed to be acting in good
faith and who have not been actually en-
gagged in shooting our officers"

the prisoners, Kane, Durham and Moose,

purpose of assisting, but to see that no other
prisoners came out. The prisoners we're then
brought down stairs by the marshal and de-
livered to the sheriff, with the following COM
