obeying the orders DC the United States
circuit court Of appeals of California,
n his final pardon by President Me

attention, arrived In the cityIast night
from San Francisco, a passenger oh
the Northern Pacific. He took apart
anents at the Butler where, owing It'd
his Illness. he denied himself to all
callers save a few Il his more Intimate
friends. II was about 10 p.m.8when

( E"Ifm not&going to Nome; at least T
shall not return this or any other sea-

somnia and nervousness er#itne
to impossible for me to go back this
season Three years 6 had the
misfortune to fall down an elevator
shaTt for a distance OF nine stories in
the Bowling Green building, New York.
This was followed a year later by pneu-
monia and these misfortInes combined
with my recent troubles and the VERY
and strain resulting therefrom, render
it absolutely necessary that shall
seek rest and quiet. AS regards my
self the Nome troubles are. ended. My
accounts have been adjusted and set
tied between the defendants and my
self. And in this connection i may
add that my. mission to Seattle is to
confer with my secretary, Capt. John
&c. Barr, who will present my accounts
officially and wind UP all such affairs
in the courts at Nome.
"An of the receivership n and
all of the obligations contracted by me.
as receiver have been settled: All
claims have been settled in the Metson
cases, and all others ct every nature
whatsoever. There are no suits,
criminal or civil, pending against me.
"Metson, who was the attorney for
the Pioneer Mining Company, whose
mines I had possession Of as receiver,
treated me most honorably. He did
as he agreed in everything. 4
GAS for the other cases. I do not
care to go into a discussion Of them
at least not at this time.
Save as a witness I have, nothing to
do with the case pending against Judge
Noyes. s.~H
81 have made my deposition in that
matter, and l do not r to discuss
the case, particularly, as I recall that
there is a possibility always for a maj
to get into contempt Of court.
But the circuit court d. appeals
came to regard me, most considerably.
After refusing to recommend my par
don the court sent an eminent physi-
clan, Dr.. McNutt, Of San Francisco, to
examine. me, and after his report, the
august body favored my liberation.
After a day or SO spent in Seattle
MI. Mckenzie viii proceed direct to
