WILL NOT PROSECUTE SMITH

GIVES HIS REASONS IN LET
TER REsIGNING HIS POSITION.

Washington, March 6.-Uaited
States District Attorney K.aling. at
Indianapolis, has resigned rather
than participate in the efforts of the
department OF justice to bring De-
cavan Smith and Joseph Pulitzer to
Washington to stand trial for GRIM
inal libel in connection with pubh-
cations concerning the Panama ca
nal and RAJ lroad.
Healing IN letter to the attorney
general, says:
For almost eight years / have
had the honor of representing the
government OF the United States as
attorney. During that time have
prosecuted all alike without fear or
favor. where / had an honest be-
eff in their guilt.
II have been compelled on sever
al occasions to prosecute personal
friends but in each case / only did
so after a thorough investigation
had convinced me of their guilt.
In this case, as to the guilt or
innocence Of the defendants in ques-
fion OF libel, do not attempt to say.
If guilty, they should be prosecuted,
but properly indicted and prosecuted
in the right place. viz: At their
homes.
II am not in accord with the gov
ernment in its at 1mpts to put a
strained construct on on the law, to
drag the defendants from their
homes to the seat of COVE ,nment to
be tried and punished while there
Is a good and sufficient law in this
jurisdiction in the state court.
II believe the principe involved
is a dangerous one, striking at the
very foundation of our form of gov
eminent. ! cannot therefore, hon
estly and conscielUously, insist TO
the court that such is the law. /
do not feel that / can, in justice to
my office, continue to hold it and

bank case Mr.. Healing prosecuted
and convicted all of the officers of
that institution, including Walter
Brown, who was his close personal
