BoNAPARTE EXPLAINS.
Tells Whey He Favored Giving Altor Officials Immunity.

Lenox, Mass, Sept. 5.-Attorney General Charles. J. Bonaparte issued a statement regarding the Standard oil case in the Illinois court. The attor- ney generals statement is as follows: "On Aug. IA Judge Landis asked in substance that the department of jus. ice consider portions of the transcript of testimony in the case of the United States against the Standard Oil Com pany of Indiana in order to determine whether the Chicago and Alton Rail- road company, its officers and employ ees were entitled to the benefits of an agreement assuring it and them of immunity against criminal prosecution in connection with the granting of cer- tain rebates to the Standard Oil com pany.
 "The department, in compliance with the desire of Judge Landis, examined the above mentioned records and, moreover, carefully investigated the entire subject, and as result of such investigation the attorney general on Aug. 20 wrote Mir. Edwin W. Sims, United States attorney at Chicago, in. forming him in substance that the agreement was shown to have been made in June or July, 1906, by Mir. C.. B. Morrison, Mir. Sims predecessor in office; that MT. Morrison's action ap- pears to have been duly authorized at the time by the department; that, in the opinion of the department, the arrangement had greatly facilitated the indictment and conviction of the Stand ard oil company. and that while cer- tain portions of the evidence might be fairly open to unfavorable comment, the department regarded the govern ment as bound in good faith and also as matter of public policy to give ef- feet to the agreement. =.
 New Facts Discovered.
 "Mr. Sims was instructed to read this letter when the grand jury recon vened on Sept and to take such fur ther action to the foregoing and as might seem to the court and to him. self appropriate in the premises.
 'The department learns that Mir. Sims did not comply with these instruc- tions by reason of his having had call ed to his attention very recently cer- tain new and, in his judgment, mate rial facts which he thought should be submitted to the department for its further consideration before its con clusions should be finally announced. For this purpose he asked and was granted by the court delay of three weeks. The department is not as yet advised as to what are the facts thus ascertained by Mir. Sims. It has great confidence in his sound judgment and devotion to duty, and 1t awaits his report before taking further action in the premises. Inasmuch, however, as the circumstances of the case may be liable to misconstruction, 1t is deemed proper to submit now the present state ment to the public"
 A dispatch from Chicago says Dis trict Attorney Sims left hurriedly for Washington to explain to Attorney General Bonaparte why the plan to give immunity to the Chicago and Al. ton railway and its officials was not carried out in Judge Landis' court.
