TO Judge Catlin.

Mr.. KNIGHT's LETTER.
Following is the letter referred to by
Marshal Baldwin:
HEADQUARTERS OF Z. 5. N ARsHAL,
Room No. II. S. z. Co.'S Depot,
SACRAMENTO, July l6, 1894
To the Hon. 4. r. Cattsa. Judge of the
superior C0ltrt-DEAR SIR: I desire to
explain to you the presence of the squad
OF troops outside of your Courtroom door
during q session Of the court this after
noon. / expressed to you my belief at
them was acting under q mlsapprehen-
sion OF instructions, and subsequent de-
yelopments prove this to be true.
IL seems that these men were sent up
as witnesses in the habeas corpus case
thai was then pending before you, and
not Tor any such purpose as was inti-
mated in General Hartis speech at the
time; and the Deputy Marshal with them
had been directed merely to show them
the way 70 your Courtroom. They
brought the arms under a misapprehen-
sion. And feel it due To them. as we'll
as to the Federal authorities here, TO
make this explanation, in order that an
impression may not exist here that the
otlcers are IN any way exceeding their
authority.
Of course you will understand no dis
respect TO the court was in any manner
intended. Respectfully yours.
SAMUEL KNIGHT,
Assistant United States Attorney.

Yesterday morning Sheriff Wyekoff of
\ YolO put in an appearance IN the city
quite early. He came prepared with war
rants for the arrest of James Mullin and
Thomas Compton on charges OF felony
growing out of the wrecking of the train
in Yoio County last Wednesday.
The Sheriff soon had both men in GUS
tody, and they were temporarily held at
the City Jail. Later in the day they were
IN the County Jail. Their examination,
together with those Of Knox and Wor-
den, will take place there on Wednesday.
PROTECTION FOR EMPLOYEES.
Colonel Graham and Marshal Baldw in
having received many warnings to the
effect that men who returned to work for
the railroad company had been threat
ened with assault, it was decided yester-
day to have troop of cavalry patrol the
streets at the hours when the men would
be passing to and from their work.
Accordingly Colonel Graham, with
four of his officers, rode through a por-
ton Of the city to ascertain in what quar-
ters crowds were in the habit of congre-
eating, and at the proper time the hard
ened Indian lighters were sent out to dis
perse crowds and see that no railroad
employe was molested. Thus far no re-
ports Of violence have been received.
Referring to this matter, Marshal Bald
win said last evening: 1--WE do not pro-
pose TO allow any Of the men who have
returned to work to be injured. Of
course, many Of these rumors OF Intended
acts of violence may be unfounded, but
we cannot take any chances.
1--WE would much prefer the local police
would attend to this matter, and they
should do so, but Chief Drew has only
few men for duty, aud it is hardly to be
expected that they could do much in
case of emergency. Therefore, to insure
perfect security to cur men. we have had
to adopt the other method"
