Testimony of it's officials and employ
:es freely at the disposal Of the gov
eminent, and in good faith assist
ed the prosecution when the case
should be tried, the said corporation
and its officers and employees should
rot be prosecuted for its or their
share in the offences forming the
basis of the prosecution.
In consequence of this understand
ing the books and other records of
the Chicago & Alton Railroad were
placed at the service of the govern
nent, and although these documents
were, for the most part, not admis-
sable in evidence against the Stand
ard Oil company, they were of great
service in enabling the prosecution
me the indictments and procure
evidence to sustain it, and also in
establishing to the entire satisfac-
ton of the prosecuting officers them
selves that the acts of the parties
concerned constituted offenses under
the law and we're understood and in
tended by both parties to be re-
bates and unlawful. Moreover, the
production of this evidence placed
it in the power of the government to
convict with, certainty the Chicago &
Alton Railroad company, if it lost
the benefit of it's understanding as to
immunity. In consequence of this
assistance from the railroad company
an Indictment was returned on Aug
ust q, containing 1000 counts.
am assured by Mr.. Morrison, and,
personally, entertain no doubt, that
it would have been altogether i'm
possible, without such cooperation,
to have secured an Indictment with
in the time containing more than
comparatively small number of say
80 to 100 counts. 1t follows that
service of great value had been rend-
cred to the prosecution by the rail
road corporation as a result of the
immunity understanding when the
Indictment was returned.
As to how far the assistance of the
railroad company enabled the prose
cution to establish it's case and Sc
cure a conviction at the trial there
J ;y be some room for a difference of
opinion, and | can understand that
the testimony of one of the empolyes
of the railroad company called by
the government as a witness in rebut-
tai, may have raised some doubts as
to the good faith with which the
company carried out its pledges to the
government, but. after careful con-
sideration of all the attendant cir
cumstances, ineluling all the facts.
to which you directed my attention,
/ find no ground for more than sus-
/, picion or conjecture imputing such
bad faith to the railroad company.
4 ere is certainly nothing in the ma
tire Of proof that it failed to COM
ply with its pledge, and see no room
to loubt its cooperation vas of great
assistance, il not absolutely essen
tial, to the success Of the prosecu-
tion.
AT would be alike unworthy and i'm
polite for the government Of the.
United States to get the benefit of
such an agreement as was male in

OBJECTS TO CIVIL
COURT SENTENCE
ARMY CIRCLES ARE INTERESTED
IN CASE OF HOMER GRAFTON
OF Philippine ARMY.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, March 11.-Army cir
cles are greatly interested in a case
to come before the United States SUI
preme court this week, when that tri-
bunal will be asked to set aside a YER
dict of the supreme court of the Phil
ippines, wherein the action of minor
court, sentencing a private soldier,
Homer Grafton, to twelve years in the
penitentiary, was upheld by the SUI
preme court of the islands. The case
is a peculiar one and involves many
legal points.
Homer Grafton, a private in Com
pany G. of the Twelfth United States
infantry, was on July "a, 1904, doing
sentry duty in the little village of
Santo Rosario, 10 lilo. p. l. 1t was
Sunday, and the natives seemed I'M
usually restless and troublesome and
boatloads of the women of the islands
had been departing all day, leaving
only the men at home. The small com
pany of soldiers in charge of the vii
lage were a little nervous, and Private
Grafton loaded his rife and kept his
I eyes cr-~-IE ----
Towards evening he noticed two
suspicious manner and saw one of
them draw a large knife and slip It
up his sleeve. Grafton, not desiring
10 have any trouble with them, cross
ed the street, and the two men also
crossed over so as TO meet him. The
soldier waited then until the two men
were very close to him, when he
claims he saw the man with the knife
10 sa1, a
mediate action, so he raised his rife
and fired, killing the man with the
knife, and quickly reloading his gun
he fired and wounded the other man.
The shooting caused trouble among
the natives, who demanded the life of
the soldier. Judge McCabe of the
court of first instance, refused 10 han
die the case, stating that il was strict
ly military case and out of his ju-
risdiction. A court-martial was ac.
cordingly convened and a board of
army officers found Grafton not guilty
of murder and he was freed from ar
rest
The natives were not satisfied. and
the matter assumed political signifi-
canoe among the islanders and civil
appointees, and Judge Henry C. Bates
ana justice OF the peace named Ross
together with some natives, got up a
complaint accusing the soldier of as
sassination. The case was tried be-
fore Judge Bates. and Captain Clar
ence Nettlee of the United States
army defended the soldier. He chal.
lenged the jurisdiction of the court
and insisted on a trial by jury and
was overruled in both. Every white
witness was for the soldier, and the
only Witnesses against him were two
natives who. according to testimony
taken previously. had denied any
knowledge of the facts in the case.
Grafton was found guilty of man
