Take the Fishnick case as an exam
pie: Mr.. Fishnick, of Dewald, applied
through his attorney to redeem and
asked for statement. Mills refused
and advised writing to bliller &
Thompson. He then promised to issue
the statement il Fishnick's attorney
would produce the opinion, of the
County Attorney that F. was entitled.
to- redeem. The opinion was so OBJ
tained and Mills refused to issue the
statement. F.'s attorney then threat
ened legal proceedings. Several days
after, Mills, in order to aviod the expo.
sure of legal proceedings, went to F.'s
attorney and offered to give the state

The amount due in this case was $35
and some cents. Miller & Thompson
demanded 500 for 4 release of their
claim.
County Auditor E. S. Mills, as their
agent, did all in his power to force
Fishnick to pay this 500 to rich bank

Capt. Goodell Pardoned.

Capt. W. IL. Goodell, of Searsport, was
pardoned by the President last Thursday.
When about to sign the papers Mr.. Cleve-
land remarked that he wished all petitions
for pardon presented him for signature we're
as clear and deserving as that OF Capt.
Goodell. Capt. ID. s. Goodell father of the
young man, has kindly given permission to
publish this letter, selected from numerous
others IN his possession written by prom-
nent men in San Francisco:
SAN Francisco, March 10, 1886.
Hon. W. W. Morrow. Washington, d. C.:
Dear Sir-As Asst. L. s. Anorne, it he
came my duty to prosecute Capt. W. IL
GoodelI for cruelty on the high seas re-
GREETED being called upon to perform such
duty on account of my personal friendship
for the captain. laid aside, however. my
personal feelings in the matter aud prose
cuted the case with all the vigor at nv COM
mand and as if he sere an utter stranger to
me.
You of course know the character of testi-
mony in these cases and how easy il is,
if you only know how. TO break down the
testimony. II was not done in this case,
and am free to confess that his conviction
was due more To the mex perience of his coun-
sel,than to my ability as prosecutor or to the
evidence against him.
MANY salient points of evidence which
would have exl lained the transactions were
wholly overlooked and not brought 10 light
in his defence. while every point tina, | pos
sibly could get legitlmately before the jury
wss shown against him by sailors who we're
not cross-examined
understand he is abou. 10 apply for
pardon, he having been sent TO States pris-
on and have been requested by his father
10 write to YOU. l. as | said. knew the
Captain. and knew HIM on shore to be a
good fellow but very deaf Ny duties a. a
prosecutor are now over and can bu, sug-
ces, 10 YOU that he is. rs far as can learn.
the first captain who has been sent to States
prison in this District and 10 my know ledge
was not as guilty and did NOT deserve such
punishment much as other captains whom
| have prosecuted and who have been let
off with county jail imprisonment.
feel therefore that in view of tn, fact
tina, many other captains much more gully
than he have suffered penalties in no way
equal TO the one inflicted on him that it
would be justice to have his sentence com
muted.
OF course having once occupied the posi-
'ion which ! hold you know ths, by regula-
1 'A We are precludcd from expressing our
t.rws on such matters to the Department
until requested. but know of no regulation
which prevents my writing this personal
letter TO You. Yours. etc.
