WHY 81. H. KIMPTON WAS RELEASED.-The
grounds upon which Attorney General Train
advised Governor Rice, of Massachusetts, to
deny a warrant for the rendition of II. K
of South Carolina, are that the granting Of
the warrant lies In the discretion of the gov
ernor entirely; that the crime of which Kfmp-
ton is accused was committed in 1872 and no
and that 1t does dot appear that there is any
present intention to try him upon the indict-
ment: That 1t appears for many months ne
gOtiatlOnS have been going on between the au.
thOrities of South Carolina and Kimpton,
offering him immunity II he would return to
that state and volunteer as a witness in her
his arrest, and that it appears that the indict-
ment found was for an Interior purpose and
not for the purpose of trying him for any sup
posed crime against the laws of that state.
