the company was put into The

Chancellor r. B. Mayes. Follow
ing this action, Smith and the
others were arrested on warrants
from the Federal court. Smith
was put under a bond of ST, 900.
Receiver Power, not knowing Of
| the indictments, had left Smith
temporarily in charge of the bust
ness. Among the papers and re
cords of the Office, after Smiths
arrest, were found two letters
from Haze Morgan, q former at

|of these letters was written al
Clarksburg, w. Va, dated Dec.
|I9, 1903, and advised Smith of the
writer's former connection with
THE Office of Assistant Attorney
General for the Postoflice Depart

Smith that the report of the in

the company, to represent it be-

Fitzgerald Of the Postofiee De-

order be issued against the COM

This report and recommendation
went through the usual official
channels and finally came into the
hands of Haze Morgan, being re-
Iferred to him for action. On May
81, 1902, Morgan officially advised
against the issuance of the fraud

Boutwell, that Mr.. McNair imme

Gals compromise ito We feal
that the answer to the question
would not be wholesome to public

Vicksburg Herald.
The Herald touches the right
key. It is said the State witness
es could not be gotten into court.
It would have been far better ano
more wholesome to public senti-
ment for Boutwell, to have beer
acquitted of the charge of murder
by the verdict of a jury, after the
court had exhausted every means
known to the law to locate the
missing State witnesses and force
their attendance at court. As il
is, the public confidence in the
efficiency of the courts has been
dealt a most depressing blow.
The case, If correctly reported,
Is one that tends to destroy the
confidence of the public in the SD.
premacy of the law, and its adj
ministration by the courts as q

that Boutwell, is now in the reg
