duty to the administration Of public justice and
to show the people of the United States that the
government was in earnest and desired
justice should be done. have never

cases with vigor and rigor, so that the innocent
should be acquitted II clearly innocent, that the
guilty should be punished If clearly guilty, and
that there must be no half-hearted sentiment in
the purpose OF the government and its officers in
this prose cution.
After serious and prolonged deliberation over all
the details of the case my Investigations satisfied me
Cnatthe men who were indicted were guilty men,
ana merited the extreme punishment of the law.
They had projected, under cover of official power.
and under color OF Official authority systematic
plan OF deliberate robbery Of the public treasury.

hands upon fund dedicated by law to
great public service, service that is conspic-
uouSy one OF the fruits and causes OF our civiza-
ton, our social comfort commercial prosperity
our national growth. Millions of that money they
perverted to their own private gain, and divided

dign act OF Infamous conspiracy, and, as such,

position, the greater their sin, the sterner must be
their punishment.
l desire TO call your attention to the fact that
the officers Of the law and those who have d.
rectly been aiding me in the discharge OF my duty
IN tnls business, have been from the first
enc1rcled with snares, pitfalls ana every species
OF vile device that could be invented to harm
Them, hinder their usefulness and prevent the ad-
mlnstration OF justice Some portions of this
community, who surround these defendants, who
nave en1oyed,or do still enjoy minor Official posi-
tiohS, know no allegiance to any one but this band
OF robbers. and render no service to any one but
these evlemployers. From motives Of gain, or
other corrupt considerations, they are saturated
With aninites for these bad men, and they have
contributed. by every means in their power, at
the bidding OF their masters, to Obstruct public
justice, and to defame its officers with the hope of
securing the acquittal and escape OF the worst
band OF organized scoundrels that ever existed
since the commencement OF the government
