FOR ILLICIT DisTILlERS.
New Ruling Regarding Persons Con-
Victed of Technical Violations of the
Law.

{
victed of Technical Violations of the
Law.
The Richmond Dispatch's Wash
ington correspondent writes: Sena-
tor Pritchard, of North Carolina,
called on Attorney General McKenna
today in behalf of certain convicted
and imprisoned violators of the
internal revenue laws upon which an
ignominious sentence was to be pro-
nounced on Monday next at the
opening of the United States Court
at Greensboro. United States Dis
trict- Attorney Glenn, who would
have Lad to pray that the sentence
be passed, has been here in behalf of
the prisoners, whose offences are said
to be mostly technical violations of
the law, and he had previously seen
the Attorney General on the subject.
Judge R. P. Dick, in whose court
the men " ere tried, is also in favor
of amnesty for them.
The Attorney. General said that he
would write to the District Attorney
today, and extend leave to exercise
his discretion in compromising cases
growing out of violations of the in
ternal revenue laws. It is under
stood that this leave will also be
extended to the new District Attor-
ney, when appointed, for one term of
the court, at least, by which time
these cases may be disposed of.
The reason for requesting leave
to exercise discretion in these cases
grows out of the fact that the law is
mandatory, and the Judge had no
other course to pursue than to fix
fine and imprisonment in each case.
Senator Pritchard will introduce
bill next week amending the Revised
Statutes so as to give the Judge dis
erection in this particular, which will
obviate the necessity of granting
leave to the district attorney 10 con
promise this class of cases. He will
introduce this bill upon the recon-
mendation of Judge r. P. Dick, of
the United States District Court,
who is anxious to have the law so
amended.
