Copy of the Letter.

The letter alleged to have been pur-
Joined was as follows:
Washington, Sunday, June %, 1902
My Dear Wise: Senator Root has sent
me the proof of petition, signed by
Bowers, Milburn and Guthrie, in support
of their contention that the statute OF
Limitations has run in favor of Messrs.
Parsons. Kissel and Harmed. II the only
overt acts done to carry out the objects
of the unlawful conspiracy were those re-
ferred to in the brief, / should think
they were insufficient To save the bar OF
the statute.
~ strong effort will be made tomorrow
to persuade the President to interfere IN
some way TO prevent the indictments. but
aside from that no indictments should be
returned against any one II there Is no
rea Sonable ground to believe they can be
slIstaned-if, for instance, the offenseS
charged are clearly barred by the statute.
| need hardy say this to you.
What | want 10 impress upon You is
that If YOU have any reasonable doubt
in the matter. you either have the grand
Jury ask the court for instruction, or if
that is not feasible. that you advise the
department of the SPECIFIC charges on
which you rely to save the statute before
actually having the indictments brought
in. You may telephone either 10 me or
to Mr. Ellis. il | should be out Of the
department when you call. this point

in the federal building, where Reilly was
known as protege of Henry l.. Stimson,

and st. Paul, Central Vermont, Western
Transit Company and other railroad and
transit companies for giving rebates on
sugar shipments, in violation of the Hep

which are the result of private control
of natural resources, are the s~ensatory
