WASHINGTON, Oct. l3.-Judge Freeman, to whom
the Postmastcr-teneral formally referred the report
OF Special Agent Frey IN the B.ackyille, s c. shoot
ing case. said to-day that he should report sub
stance that no law exists by which crimes against
the person of postal officials be tired IN United
states courts. Judge Key says that his first impulse
with regard TO the affair nj Backvilc was to close
the Office # the state auihorltie should fail to bring
the postmastcTs as,aIlant 10 trial. On reflection,
however he thinks that course would operate a. a
punishment t. the victim Of the outrage rather than
10 It's perpetrators He has. therefore. decided 10
lay the report of the special agents before the Pres
ident and Cabinet. and To- be guided by their adj
vice. 1t Is not improbable that recommendations
will be made to Congress that the law au horlZlng
the trial oi crimes against the persons OF revenue
officials IN the National courts be enlarged tOuclude
similar crimes against postmastcrs > proposition
of that kind would be a fruitful source OF political
