THE LETTER or BLISS.
NEW. YORK, Nov. II. 1882. To the
President Dear Sir: The second trial of
the case Of the United States against
Brady and others is set down for the first
week in December, and the government
will then. | believe. be ready with large
number of witnesses and some new testi-
meny. 1t seems to me importint to the
case, aad desirable in every respect, that
before that time the atmosphere which
surrounds the case officially should be in
some measure purified, that every one
may know, what [ know so thoroughly,
that the prosecution j, in dead earnest"
from the President down. L" that end |
cali your attention to certain facts, the
most Of which are unknown TO yon. l
address you because the statements l de-
sire to cali your attention to concern per-
soEs in several of the District depart
ments Of the government. The Marshal
of the District of Columbia is undouht-
ed!y in sympathy with the defendants
and does not desire the government to
succeed. Without going into further
details, he, during the last trial, in
public interview, indulged in gross
abuse Of the counsel for the United
States, and in the declaration that the
government had no case" d. B. Aim
ger, Postmaster at Washington, was, with
his assistant. Parker. deliberately i'm
pugned by the Post Office Inspectors in
their report as to the certica:ion of
bogus bonds in the Star-route cases. 1t
Was only question Of gross carelessness
or bad faith, as there was no doub. Of
both Of the acts alleged. Ainger is pro.
prietor of a newspaper in Michigan. His
name appears on it as such proprietor.
During the last trial he wrote to the
paper, over his own signature, deneuncing
the officers who had instituted the prose-
c,tion. declaring that the government had
no case. Helm had been recently ap-
pointed by ths new Public Printer as the
bead of one of the departments Of the
Government printing office. It was
sworn to on the trial, by the editor of the
Critic that Helm was the person who
controlled its columns, and on the trial
there were produced and proved a Sc
ries of articles grossly abusive of the
court, the government counsel and the
general management of the case, which
was represented as persecution aod
without foundation. Your attention was
called some months ago to the case of
George L. Spencer. government Di-
rector of the Pacific railroad The police
force of the District OF Columbia was un-
in the interest of defendants.
and tho detectives uoblushinsly did their
work. One Of them has admitted that
under oath in court. Now [ am quite
aware that il is very difficult to act as to
attention; hut as to some OF them you can
act, and it seems to me that the facts
wight to be brought to your knowledge.
Y ou have much to occupy you and much
TO trouble you. and would not willingly |
\ I'd nnnece, sarlv to it just now: but the !
are such that delay seems |
impossible. Your obedient servant,
GEORGE BLISS.
