charge Of stealing an old silver watch val

conviction on the part OF many respectable
people that Springs was not guilty OF the
olTense. There is very de-
cided opinion by many familiar with

convicted was inadequate, and but for the
bitter. prejudice which prevailed against
him he would not have been found guilty
There was not the least evidence oil any
facts aggravating the offence above that
of mere larceny, and yet the extraordina-

in the penitenhary was imposed. but the
malignant spirit with which Springs was

WAslIlYdroN, D. O., March u, 1850. J

WASHINGTON, d. u, March IL, 1851.
Hon. John Sherman, Secretary Of lle TftGs,ny:
SlR-I desire to call your special atten-
ton to the case OF VIM. L. Springs, lately
a Deputy Collector Of Internal Revenue in
the State Of South Carolina, and now i'm.
prisoned in the Penitentiary Of that State,
upon sentence OF three years, for the
alleged larcenyai silver watch valued at
about eight dollars. At the time OF his in
dctment, in 1873, Springs was Deputy
Collector OF Internal Revenue, engaged
with number OF others in snppressing
illicit distileries. At the time the public
mind in South Carolina WAS highly ex.
cited against these officers, and The State
Courts were invoked in every possible
manner to visit punishment upon them
In this state Of affairs Springs was arrested
and brought TO trial, and upon evidence,
which the present Governor oil the state
regarded as insufficient was convicted and
was sentenced to the PenitentiarY Tor
three years. The case of Springs was such
a one as could not be transferred to tho U.
Is. Courts, and so Springs was brought to
trial in a State Court, where II would have
been the next thing to miracle Tor him
TO have received impartial justice in the
then excited and prejudiced state of the
public mind. The i'll will toSprings fol.
lowed him TO the penitentiary, where, up
on n ialse representation that he was a
dangerous man, he served for eleven
months with ball and chain 10 his leg,
Springs was sentenced on the 18th day oil
July, 1878. During the following month,
these illicit dis,illers against whom he had
been operating, were brought TO bay and
signed act OF clemency was granted them
by allowing them to plead guilty and have
their sentences suspended. Three hun.
dred and seventy.eight persons ayailed
themselves OF this amnesty. Considering
these facts, and the further fact that Rufus
L. Springs and his brother, another Gov
eminent officer, was bushwacked by the
illicit distillers, and that no effort hao been
male by the State authorities to ferret out
tho mufderers and bring them to Justice,
It seems TO me that the President should
use his influence with Governor Simpson
for the immediate pardon OF William L.
Springs. 1851.
/ hereby inclose for your consideration
a copy OF letter recently received from
Collector Brayton upon this subject, and
hope that you will consider 1t your duty
to bring this subject to the attention oil
the President. Very respectfully
GREEN B. RAUN, Commissioner.

WASHINGTON, September 5.-The fol
lowing telegram was received here:
COLUMBIA, S. o., Sept. 2.
Green B. Ra.1m, Commissioner, Washington
D. c.:
W. L. Springs, late Special Deputy Col
lector, but for more than two years con-
vict IN the State Penitentiary, has been
E. NJ. BRAYToN, Collector.
This man, W. L. Springs, has a history
which shames civilization. He was a
Special Deputy Collector, employed in
operations against the moonshiners Of
South Carolina, and he and his brother,
Rufus Springs, Deputy Marshal, were par.
ticularlv active in the pursuit OF the no.
torious outlaw, Redmond, and 1t became
necessary TO put them out OF the way:
Rufus Springs, the Marshal, was waylaid
and murdered. His brother, W. Il.
was too wary to be caught in
that way. So process by the
State Courts was resorted to. In one
Of his raids Springs, being resisted by an
armed moonshiner, dubbed his gun and
knocked the man down. For this as
sault' he was indicted, and bench war:
rant was issued for his arrest and removal
10 the distant wildcat region Of the State
where the alleged assault occurred, for the
purpose, Springs firmly believed, Of taking
him ont OF Jail and numbering him. The
Intervention OF the q. S. Courts which
ordered transfer Of the case prevented
Ibis plan being carried out. An effort,
was, however, made to keep Springs by
State process in defiance OF the y. 5.
Courts. The next move was the bribing
u an ignorant negro to trump up charge
against Springs OF stealing an old silver
watch. The Governor OF the State was in
the Courtroom at the time Of the trial,
