Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague has given a
private letter for publication, in which,
referring to the Narragansett Pier affair,
she says that Gov. ~sprague's causeless
and shameful persecution Of the children,s
teacher is literally true, as he tells the
story. The attempt to complicate Mr.
Conkling with this matter is absurd. The
guests of the house were removed under
Gov. Sprague's. threats OF murder. Ms
Sprague explains the case against The
trustee Of the bankrupt estate, in which
10y. SPaSue had sought legal counsel
Of AIR. Conkling, and says that, az her
means for living at Canonchet had been
cut ot, she requested Mr.. Conkling. who
had already been consulted by Goyernor
Sprague, to see him and try and ascertain
whether the proposed case would benefit
the children. Mr.. Conkling had stopped
at Canonehet for this purpose, and was
awaiting Governor S~prague's return when
the outbreak occurred. II anv hostile
words were exchanged between Mr.. Conk-
ling and Governor Sprague at Canonchet.
