FOREMAN DICKSON.
~ Foreman Dickson, of the late star-route
jury, has sent the following to District At
torney Corkhill:
To george D. Corkhill, Esq, United States Dis
DEAR SIR: am informed that you have
been ordered by the attorney general to
hand TO II. II. Wells afiidayits that were
filed by me and others that were in your
office, in which certain persons are charged
with having tried to corrupt the
jury in the star-route cases. /
am also told that you have
complied with this order. i write for the
purpose protesting against your action,
aud that Of the attOrney-genoral in this be
half Most serious charges have been made
against agents Of the department Of justice
the charges Of the attOrney-general-and
nothing could be more absurd thant to allow
the department to investigate these
charges. The attorney-general shOEld be
unwilling TO investigate the charges
that 90 nearly touch his official
conduct, and the fact that he wishes to take
charge Of fttei1vrsiigatiOn is the best reason
! e should nat. The investigation might with
equal propriety be left TO the defendants
or their attorneys, or to persons charged
with having offered brides TO jurors sus-
pected Of having accepted them. The imves-
tieafion should be under the direction Of
the court before whom the cases were tried
and BIZ the attorney for this dis
trict. u shOuld be as open as day,
and all parties should have not
only q chance Of being heard but
of bearing. For one. demand this inves-
tigntiOn shall be taken out of interested
/ am. sir. very respectfully, y0uu
