COMPOUNDING A FELONY.
The Officials of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany Said to Have Acted Criminally.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. IS, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: From certain facts which no.
body denies, and which are now public prop
erty, beg leave to suggest the legal conclusions
which appear thus far TO have been overlooked:
First-One Edward Albertson feloniously stole
and carried away a large amount of money,
notes, bonds and other securities from a bank
ing establishment at Tacoma. This was grand
larceny, and punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than one year nor more
than fourteen years. Code, sec $50 1t was q
felony. Code, sec. ISL.
Second-0n or about the 23d day OF August,
1891, certain persons connected with said bank
ing estebl shment formally, and for a valuable
consideration, which they actually received and
kept, entered into written agreement with said
Albertson not TO prosecute him for said felony.
The entering Into this agreement was crime
defined by the statutes of this state, well as
by the common law, and called compromising a
crime, and is punishable by imprisonment In
the county Jail for time not exceeding one
year, or by fine not exceeding $1,000.
In view of the fact that the same persons who
committed the crime of compromising this great
felony, are exerting themselves, to an extent
that savers OF persecution, to fix upon promi-
nent citizen of Seattle the stigma of partIcipa-
ton In said theft, trust may not be thought
unwarrantably officious in collocatiDg the facts
and conclusions In this simple and direct form,
and inquiring whether the prosecuting at
torney and sheriff and other officers of Pierce
county who are especially charged with the
prosecution of criminals, have considered the
question whether duty does not deyolve upon
them in this matter.
/ am told that Browns point, where the
crime of making the unlawful agreement was
actually committed, is in King county; but as
my geographical knowledge is deficient and as
the crime was "cOoked up in Tacoma, /
mention II as matter for the attention of the
officers of Pierce county. But, If in fact
Browns point is in King county, then hope the
prosecuting attorney and sheriff of King county
will consider the foregoing suggestions as
addressed to themselves W. /. H

A few moments later the sergeant
returned, a big twinkle of satisfaction
lighting up his coal black cGuutenancc
With a step full Of confidence he
walked up to the quartormaSter'S desk,
opened the catalogue, placed his fin
ger on the illustration of the tool in
question and said
Da's de tool,' and turning over to
the next page, " dIs de name, tcsti-
m0nial.'
The Quartcrmastcr caught on"
The illustration represented newly
patented weed hocr, and Immediately
following, ON the opposite page, came
several testimonials as to it's useful
ness; the word testimonial, heading
each paragraph, being in large type,
which the sergeant naturally con-
cludcd was the name of the tool illus
trated on the other page.
OF course the quartcrmastcr, being
convinced, informed the sergeant that
he should have the testimonials. and
the old man departed highly pleased
with himself and his knowledge of
garden tools.
