CHARGES AGAINST UNITED STATES MARSHAL
GRAY AND HIS DEPUTILs-ILLlCIT DISTIL-
LING-IIIE NATTER TO BE INVESTIGATED,
&C., &C.
Especial Telegram 70 the Dispatch,
DANvILLE, VA, January 10.-SeVeral
weeks since W. l.. Fernald, revenue col
lector of this (she Fourth) district, prefer
red serious charges against A. S. Gray,
United States marshal, and his deputies. j.
X. Chase, special agent of the Department
OF Justice, arrived few days ago under
instructions from the Attorney. General to
investigate the matter. a large number OF
witnesses were on hand from Franklin,
Henry, Patrick, and other back counties.
Everything being ready, the agents work
waspushed through, and his labors finished
last night. Fernald's charges were sus-
tanned. The following developments have
been Obtained:
The deputy marshals were illegally sup
piled with blank warrants for making in
discriminate arrests that false and heavy
bills formileage, board Of prisoners, guards,
&C., were made and sworn to; that large
number Of arrests upon false charges were
made; that the prisoners were brought
long distances to Danville only to be re-
leased by United States commissioners,
there appearing no evidence to convict them:
that large accounts for services never rem.
dered were made out by the deputies and up
proved and shared by the marshal. The mar
shall received two-ffths and the deputies the
balance Of these improper claims. Deputy
Marshals o. R. Wootten, e. R. Barsksdale,
and G.. S. Mills have been removed by Mar
shall Gray, who is now in Washington en-
deayoring to save himself at the expense of
the deputies. The depaties charge and have
proven that the marshal was cognizant Of
these illegal practices, and that the accounts
were always made in manner directed by
MIN, ana he shared In all fees, mileage,
&c. In explanation Of the large num-
Der OF arrests made in which no
indictments were found the deputies
claim that the offences were committed,
but friends cleared the parties by false
swearing. The cases were mostly for il
icit distiling in the mountains OF Frank
lin, Henry, and Patrick counties. The re-
port of the special agent, it is believed, will
cause Marshal Gray's removal. Gray, who
lives in Harrisonburg, was in attendance
during the Investigation. He throws all
the blame on the deputies, and claims to
have been grossly deceived by them.
