torney General Bonaparte. the substance
of which was that when the goyewment
gathered evidence against the Standard
Oil company prior to its indictment the
then district attorney, Charles B. Nor
rison, entered into an agreement with
the Chicago q Alton railroad providing
immunity for the railroad company ii
it aided the government in prosecut-
ing the oil company.
Judge Lands said: This gives the
situation peculiar and delicate phase
No offender should escape punishment,
but at the same time not even the mean
est criminal should be able to truthfully
charge the government with bad faith"
Judge Lands ruling will doubtless
sustain the attorney generals inter-
probation Of the agreement. Morrison
Is said to have provided immunity from
indictments for all OF the employees Of
the railroad as well as for the corpor-
alton.
Similar agreements are believed TO
have been made with other railroads that
aided the government in procuring the
evidence on which the Standard was in
dicted in the several thousand counts
now pending. If this Is true none Of
the railroads will be indicted for giving
the oil company rebates.

A Brakeman Who Fired the company's

Boulder, Col, Aug l5.-,John w.

BILE for the crime. Later Frank Kiser,
another suspect, also confessed. The re-
suit of their act was the death of five
persons and the injury of half hundred
Others besides the destruction OF prop
erty valued at half million dollars.
When it became known that Reeves had
confessed, a mob gathered at the county
jail for the purpose Of lynching him, but
he was spirited from the jail by officers
and taken to Denver in a carriage. The
public has not been informed Of Kiser's
confession. Frank Kiser SAYS that dur
ing discussion of the Colorado &
Southern strike, the suggestion was
made that the crowd set fire to some OF
the company's property. Acting upon
this suggestion, they went down TO the
yards and set fire to a caboose belonging
to the company, and from this blaze the
depot caught. The explosion Of several
hundred pounds Of dynamite on one OF
the cars caused the loss Of life and great
destruction of property.
