DUpLEY'S ESCAPE
From just Punishment Most Severely
Commented On.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, January 16.-
Judge Woods instructions to the Federal
Graud Jury yesterday were the subject OF
much attention and discussion to-day in
legal and political circles. It is learned
that the Interpretation of the Fedefsl
Statutes, as laid down by Judge Woods, is
scquiesced in by Justice Harlan, ofthe
Supreme Court, with whom Judge Woods
advised by letter during the recess.
There are expressions of keen disaprOint-
mert ON this part OF many Democrats. The
most noted uttsrancss of this character
have been made by the Sentinel, through
whose columns the alleged Dudley letters
became public. Some of the expressions
are very severe aud gave rise 10 an expec-
tation that possibly the Court would snn-
mon the editor and others before it for con-
tempt, but nothing OF the kind occurred.
Judge Woods looked complacert and un-
disturbed by the criticism as he sas on the
bench to day. He made o reference what
ever to the attacks.
