The same laws apply to an officer who
uses a firearm with serous results as ap-
plies to an individual he said An Off
GERS only excuse for shooting a person, un-
less in self-defense, is when he has seen that
person commit wrong and the person Is
attempting to escape.
There has been much said through the
public print of late relative to the Govern
ment Printing Office building I have no
hesitation in sa wing that it is surely in your
province to make a report il you see fit.
i call the matter to your attention to act as
you think proper
The law governing the grand jury makes
1t optional with you TO visit the Jail and all
charitable institutions that share public
appropriation, and l believe there are no
others in the District, and make such report
as you deem advisable"
