Wickersham's Error.

THE recommendation of The attorney
general given to me WAS only a part OF
the evidence. and hence his judgment
was different doubtless from what 1t
would have been II he had the whole rec
ord before him. as / have now. II seems
fairly clar tina, DR.. Wiley. after ex-
animation of the records concluded that
The employment Of DR.. Rusby at 50 a
day for laboratory work and $50 day
for court work would amount to $1,000
a year If the department called on him
whenever they needed him. and that il
was this arrangement TO which you CON
| scented. In Or. Keber's anxiety to in
duce DR.. Rusby to accept the new terms
| OF employment he certainly betrayed a
willingness TO construe the contract of
employment OF DR. Rusby at $500 a year
| in one way 10 reconcile il with the law,
| and In another way TO satisfy DR.. Wiley
| in his wish to secure $50 a day, and |
| think he ought TO be reprimanded for his
disineenuous conduct in writing such let
| ters as he did. He said that he did not
| intend TO violate the statute as inter
| preted BY the attorney general and In
| deed. that he did not know exactly what
| the ruling was. but whether he did or
not, the language OF his letters does not
| have a commendaDle tone and suggests
| a willingness 10 resort to evasion that
calls for Official reproof
| In respect 10 DR.. Rusoy, / do not find
| that he was advised at all as to the legal
difficulty and that he was only seeking
| for additional compensation which ne
